Abstract

Neutrophil recruitment to the site of injury is an essential first step of an anti-bacterial response. However, little is known about the basis for and relevance of neutrophil migration from inflamed tissue into lymphoid organs. We established a photoconversion-based system to monitor the fate of neutrophils recruited to inflamed skin. While neutrophils are efficiently recruited to sites of both microbial and sterile lesions, subsequent re-localization to draining lymph nodes happens only when bacteria are present in the primary lesion. Skin egress of neutrophils occurs via lymphatic vessels and is dependent on CD11b and CXCR4 but not CCR7. Neutrophils are the predominant immune cell to migrate from inflamed skin into lymph nodes where they augment lymphocyte proliferation. Furthermore, inhibition of neutrophil migration from skin reduces T-cell proliferation in draining lymph nodes. Thus neutrophils mediate rapid cellular communication between the initial injury site and secondary lymphoid organs and modulate immune responsiveness.

  • Entry of T cells and neutrophils into initial LVs is integrin-dependent under inflammatory conditions.

    “Entry of T cells and neutrophils into initial LVs is also integrin-dependent under inflammatory conditions (112–114).”

    From Transport and Immune Functions of the Lymphatic System. (2025) · cites this paper as [112]

    The Results section ('CD11b and CXCR4 modulate neutrophil migration from skin'; page not available) reports that CD11b mediates neutrophil migration via lymphatic vessels from inflamed skin to draining lymph nodes. It does not establish integrin-dependent entry into initial lymphatic vessels specifically, or that T-cell entry is integrin-dependent. The observed lymphatic migration was also tied to microbial lesions, rather than inflammatory conditions generally. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
