PEPTIDASE DISTRIBUTION IN LYMPHATIC TISSUE

Peptidase Distribution in Lymphatic Tissue

The lymphatic tissue of the rabbit contains a labile peptidase as measured by the hydrolysis of alanylglycine. Some characteristics of the enzyme were determined. This enzyme increases in amount when the numbers of macrophages in the tissue are increased and it is also present in the extracellular fluid in high concentration. The extracellular fluid value for this activity is calculated to be a...

Studies of the Lymphatic Tissue

1. On subcutaneous infection of rabbits with staphylococci of low virulence there appears at the place of injection first a hemorrhagicpurulent inflammation and later a localized purulence. In the regional lymph nodes there is lymphatic hyperplasia, and in the blood a lymphocytosis. 2. In the regional lymph nodes there is first a regressive change of Flemming's secondary nodules and of transiti...

Lymphangiogenesis in post-natal tissue remodeling: Lymphatic

22 The main physiological function of the lymphatic vasculature is to maintain tissue fluid 23 homeostasis. Lymphangiogenesis or de novo lymphatic formation is closely associated with 24 tissue inflammation in adults (i.e. wound healing, allograft rejection, tumor metastasis). 25 Until recently, research on lymphangiogenesis focused mainly on growth factor/growth 26 factor-receptor pathways gov...

Geographic distribution of lymphatic filariasis in Haiti.

Although lymphatic filariasis is known to have been endemic in Haiti since at least the mid 1700s, a national filariasis survey has never been conducted. As a first step in the national program to eliminate filariasis, we collected blood in January-April 2001 from 50-250 school children (6-11 years old) in all 133 communes of the country using an adaptation of the lot quality assurance sampling...
