An in vivo mammary infusion model for tissue migration of leucocytes during inflammation

Immunology and Cell Biology

Abstract

Infusion of LPS or nematode larvae into the mammary glands of sheep induces recruitment of neutrophils or eosinophils respectively. While neutrophil recruitment required only a single infusion of LPS, repeated infusions of parasite larvae were required to induce significant eosinophil migration into the lumen of the glands. Eosinophil recruitment was accompanied by a distinct population of lymphocytes consisting mainly of activated (MHC class II and CD25+) T cells. L-selectin was expressed at reduced levels on both neutrophils and eosinophils collected from the mammary gland compared with cells present in the blood of the same sheep. In addition, VLA-4 and beta 1-integrin were down-regulated or negative in mammary eosinophils compared with strong expression in the blood while neutrophils were negative for these markers in both mammary washes and blood. Eosinophils in blood and mammary glands were negative for MHC class II, CD25 and CD4. Mast cells and lymphocyte aggregates were present in the tissue of glands chronically stimulated with parasite larvae while eosinophils were only present if the gland had been recently stimulated. These studies show that detailed in vivo analysis of leucocyte migration can be easily performed in...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
