Abstract excerpt
Cell surface lectins are known to regulate trafficking of cells in the immune system, yet the role of macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin 1 and 2 (MGL1/2) is poorly understood. In this study, antigen-specific chronic inflammation was induced in a subcutaneous air pouch model in mice, and distribution of cells expressing MGL1/2 was investigated. Azobenzenearsonate-conjugated acetylated BSA, used as an antigen,...
