Abstract
Perisinal macrophages in the rabbit bone marrow can penetrate the sinus wall and phagocytose circulating red cells intraluminally. Serial sectioning reveals that the penetration occurs through the cytoplasm of a single endothelial cell. This phenomenon may provide an effective mechanism for monitoring the circulation and removing normal senescent red cells.Entities:
