THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF BLOOD MONOCYTES AND FIXED MACROPHAGES TO THE EXPRESSION OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY TO INFECTION

Open access
North, R. J.·1970·The Journal of Experimental Medicine

Abstract

Infection in mice with Listeria monocytogenes results in a substantial accumulation of migrant macrophages in the liver. The immigrant cells populate both the infective foci and intervening sinusoids. They have the labeling characteristics of blood monocytes, and their appearance in infective foci in the liver corresponds to the expression of a high level of antimicrobial immunity in this organ. The infected liver acquires additional new macrophages by Kupffer-cell division. The proliferation of these cells, however, is not essential for the expression of immunity in the liver. The results indicate that the macrophages which express immunity to a primary infection with L. monocytogenes are those derived from circulating monocytes. Most of these cells are quickly lost once the parasite is eliminated from the tissues.

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.
