title: Lymphocyte traffic through antigen-stimulated lymph nodes. II. Role of Prostaglandin E2 as a mediator of cell shutdown.
abstract: Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) can mediate changes in lymphocyte traffic through lymph nodes. By measuring PGE2 levels in efferent lymph from cannulated sheep lymph nodes it was shown that increased synthesis of PGE2 always correlated with cell shutdown; infusion of PGE2 alone induced cell shutdown and inhibition of PGE2 synthesis by the node abolished cell shutdown induced by antigen.
