Experimental studies on kinetics and functions of monuclear phagozytes of the central nervous system.

Abstract

The described experimental studies on rabbits gave evidence of the hematogenous - obviously monocytic - origin, the lymphatic drainage, and the IgG- and complement-receptor sites of monocytoid CSF-cells, epiplexus cells, perivascular cells of the intracerebral vessels, and of some cells within damaged brain tissue - so-called progressive microglia. - Becuase of their identical kinetics and functions these types of mononuclear cells of the CNS were placed in a system known as 'Mononuclear Phagocyte System".
