In an attempt to demonstrate the importance of the popliteal lymph node in limiting the progress of infection with Mycobacterium marinum in the hind footpads of C57BL mice, such infections were studied in mice subjected to popliteal or popliteal and inguinal adenectomies. In the absence of the popliteal node, the footpad infection was only slightly enhanced compared with infections of sham-operated control mice; the inguinal node was found to be greatly enlarged and appeared to have substituted for the absent popliteal node. In the absence of both popliteal and inguinal nodes, the disease process in the footpads was again only slightly enhanced, and the axillary node appeared to have enlarged greatly and to have functionally replaced the missing, more proximate nodes. In additional experiments, mice subjected to adenectomy only on one side and injected in that hind footpad with phytohemagglutinin or India ink demonstrated hypertrophy or deposition of carbon particles in the more distant node only on the side of the injection. Thus, there appear to be rather direct functional connections among popliteal, inguinal, and axillary nodes that do not depend on blood circulation. |
