Lymphatic vessels provide an anatomical framework for immune surveillance and adaptive
immune responses. Although appreciated as the route for Ag and dendritic cell transport …

Adaptive immune response consists of many highly regulated, multistep cascades that
protect against infection while preserving the health of autologous tissue. The proper …

Afferent lymphatic vessels (LVs) mediate the transport of antigen and leukocytes to draining
lymph nodes (dLNs), thereby serving as immunologic communication highways between …

Lymphatic vessels play vital roles in immune surveillance and immune regulation by
conveying antigen loaded dendritic cells, memory T cells, macrophages and neutrophils …

The lymphatics fulfill a vital physiological function as the conduits through which leucocytes
traffic between the tissues and draining lymph nodes for the initiation and modulation of …

Lymphatic vessels collect interstitial fluid that has extravasated from blood vessels and
return it to the circulatory system. Another important function of the lymphatic network is to …

Lymphatic vessels mediate fluid flows that affect antigen distribution and delivery, lymph
node stromal remodeling, and cell-cell interactions, to thus regulate immune activation. Here …

The efficient function of the immune system necessitates the complex interaction of antigens,
antigen-presenting cells, and cell populations that modulate, regulate and effectuate the …

Lymphatic vessels provide a critical line of communication between peripheral tissues and
their draining lymph nodes, which is necessary for robust immune responses against …

Tissue drains fluid and macromolecules through lymphatic vessels (LVs), which are lined by
a specialized endothelium that expresses peculiar differentiation proteins, not found in blood …
