Lymphocyte traffic through antigen-stimulated lymph nodes. I. Complement activation within lymph nodes initiates cell shutdown.

PMCID: PMC1458074  PMID: 6906330

Abstract

Complement activation within lymph nodes has been shown to alter lymphocyte traffic through the node. Challenge of cannulated sheep lymph nodes with either immune complexes or complement activators was found to initiate the phenomenon of cell shutdown associated with antigenic challenge of lymph nodes in primed animals.
