The endothelial protein PLVAP in lymphatics controls the entry of lymphocytes and antigens into lymph nodes
Abstract
In the lymphatic sinuses of draining lymph nodes, soluble lymph-borne antigens enter the reticular conduits in a size-selective manner and lymphocytes transmigrate to the parenchyma. The molecular mechanisms that control these processes are unknown. Here we unexpectedly found that PLVAP, a prototypic endothelial protein of blood vessels, was synthesized in the sinus-lining lymphatic endothelial cells covering the distal conduits. In PLVAP-deficient mice, both small antigens and large antigens entered the conduit system, and the transmigration of lymphocytes through the sinus floor was augmented. Mechanistically, the filtering function of the lymphatic sinus endothelium was dependent on diaphragms formed by PLVAP fibrils in transendothelial channels. Thus, in the lymphatic sinus, PLVAP forms a physical sieve that regulates the parenchymal entry of lymphocytes and soluble antigens.

SCS floor LECs participate in the transport of soluble antigens into the lymph node parenchyma through receptor-independent antigen transcytosis and through guarding proteinaceous diaphragms through which antigens access a collagenous reticular conduit system.
“SCS floor LECs participate in the transport of soluble antigens into the lymph node parenchyma both through the process of receptor-independent antigen transcytosis and through their function as guardians of proteinaceous diaphragms present in the SCS floor through which antigens gain access to a collagenous reticular conduit system (124, 125).”

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.
