Splenic macrophages during pregnancy in the mouse

Developmental and Comparative Immunology
R MattssonM Andersson

Abstract

Pregnant CBA/Ca mice at mid-gestation showed a two-fold increase in the relative content of splenic macrophages, a change which was suggested to be due to enhanced migration. The proportion of spleen cells carrying a high density of Fc-receptors (assayed by EA-rosetting) was similarly increased in pregnant mice. The splenic content of non-lymphoid strongly esterase-positive cells was dramatically elevated at mid-gestation, but this increase was shown basically to be due to elevated numbers of esterase-staining erythroid blast cells. The pattern of the increase of Ig-secreting spleen cells was compared with that of macrophages and erythroid blast cells, and possible unspecific interaction at tissue-level is discussed.

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.
