• lymphatics of mutants can support bone marrow-derived dendritic cell migration
|
• egress of lymphocytes from lymph nodes is impaired
• lymphatics of mutants can support bone marrow-derived dendritic cell migration
|
• a decrease in lymphocyte numbers is detected in the circulation and spleen
|
• markedly reduced in lymph isolated from cisterna chyli
|
• markedly reduced in lymph isolated from cisterna chyli; reduction in T cells consistently seen in lymphocyte compartment of lymph nodes, but Peyer's patches show accumulation of naive T cells
|
• lymphocyte number is reduced in the spleen
|
• accumulation of naive T cells in Peyer's patches is observed concomitant with reduced T cell numbers in the lymph nodes
|
• lymphatic sinuses show deficiency of lymphocytes
• Lyve1-positive sinuses appear collapsed compared to control sinuses, which are extended with cells
|
• lymphatic vessels in the trachea appear tortuous and ragged with occasional sprouts, in contrast to the smooth tubular structure in control animals; lymphatics within the diaphragm have similar altered morphology
• cell-cell junctions of initial lymphatics in the diaphragm are more poorly defined, being made up of fewer or more diffuse Cdh5 (VE-cadherin) +ve "buttons"
