Mathematical Modeling Reveals Kinetics of Lymphocyte Recirculation in the Whole Organism
Table 2
Predicted steady state distribution of the percent of TDLs in a 1) control animal, 2) following increased in the average residence time of lymphocytes in the lung (20 fold, from 26 seconds to 9 minutes) due to, for example, inflammation in the lung; 3) following a decreased entrance rate of TDLs into lymph nodes and Peyer's patches (20 fold, e.g., by using anti CD62L antibody); 4) following a decreased exit rate of TDLs from lymph nodes and Peyer's patches (5 fold, e.g., using FTY720).
