Article Synopsis
- Cell migration plays a crucial role in the immune system, but it is not well-studied in pregnant animals, despite observed increases in spleen and lymph node sizes during pregnancy.
- In the study, researchers used a mouse model to analyze the movement of PKH26-stained immune cells from pregnant and non-pregnant mice to see how pregnancy affects cell distribution in lymphoid organs.
- Results showed that while more thymocytes were present in females compared to males, the movement of immune cells from pregnant and non-pregnant mice was similar, suggesting that larger spleen and lymph node sizes in pregnant mice may be due to leukocyte retention rather than differences in cell migration.
