Abstract excerpt
We investigated the fate of latex (LX) particles that were introduced into mice intranasally. Macrophages acquired the vast majority of particles and outnumbered LX particle-bearing airway dendritic cells (DCs) by at least two orders of magnitude. Yet alveolar macrophages were refractory to migration to the draining lymph node (DLN), and all transport to the DLN could be ascribed to the few LX(+) airway DCs. Upon...
