BONE MARROW IS A MAJOR RESERVOIR AND SITE OF RECRUITMENT FOR CENTRAL MEMORY CD8+ T CELLS
Immunity Supplementary Movie s1.mp4
Three-dimensional rotation (360 degrees) of a digitally rendered z-stack of MP-IVM images showing transmigrated TCM (blue) in a skull BM cavity (red). BM vessels arecontrasted with 2 MD FITC-dextran (green). Surrounding bone is black. For further information refer to fig. 2F.
Immunity Supplementary Movie s2.mp4
Three-dimensional time-lapse video demonstrating TCM (blue) migration within the extravascular space in BM cavities delineated by rhodamine 6G (red). The intravascular compartment was contrasted by 2 MD FITC-dextran (green). Image stacks (23 optical slices, 5 µmspacing) were acquired at one stack/min. Video playback is at 15 frames per second (i.e. time-lapse is 900x).
CFCE-labeled TCM in BM microvessels of an anesthetized mouse. Cells were injected into the feeding carotid artery, and their passage through BM microvessels in the skull was recorded by video-triggered stroboscopic illumination. This movie is shown in real-time (30 frames per s). Cells are seen to roll in venules and sinusoids. Some of the rolling cells adhere firmly and may eventually emigrate into the surrounding BM cavities.
A three-dimensional rotation (30 degrees) showing the distribution of control (blue) and PTX-treated (red) TCM in the intra- and extravascular compartment in a BM cavity. BM vessels are filled with 2 MD FITC-dextran (green). Note that while the majority of control cells extravasated (transmigration efficiency in this field of view was3.7), PTX-treated cells remained mostly confined to the intravascular compartment (transmigration efficiency 1.8).
