The effects ofone non-lethal species ofmalarialparasite, Plasmodium yoelii, and one lethal species, P. berghei, on the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) of BALB/c mice were studied. P. yoelii caused a greater and more sustained expansion and activation of the MPS, and the two major populations of spleen phagocytic cells-red pulp and marginal zone macrophages - exhibited a greater increase in numbers in this infection. During the course of P. berghei mataria, the spleen was progressively occupied by haematopoietic tissue and, at the terminal stage of infection, an extensive depletion of lymphocytes and macrophages was apparent. The possibility was suggested that the outcome of mataria may be inftuenced by the particular way the parasite interacts with the MPS.

In this issue of JEM, Deniset et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20161621) provide new data that extend our knowledge on the mechanisms whereby Streptococcus pneumoniae is cleared by the spleen. The authors identify novel populations of murine splenic neutrophils that localize in the red pulp and the marginal zone. During the acute phases of S. pneumoniae infection, these populations of splenic neutrophils act in concert with specialized macrophage and B cell populations to provide very rapid innate immune protection.

Antigen-presenting cells are localized in essentially every tissue, where they operate at the interface of innate and acquired immunity by capturing pathogens and presenting pathogen-derived peptides to T cells. C-type lectins are important pathogen recognition receptors and the C-type lectin, dendritic cell–specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN), is unique in that, in addition to pathogen capture, it regulates adhesion processes such as DC trafficking and T-cell synapse formation. We have isolated a murine homologue of DC-SIGN that is identical to the previously reported murine homologue mSIGNR1. mSIGNR1 is more closely related to the human DC-SIGN homologue L-SIGN than to DC-SIGN itself because mSIGNR1 is specifically expressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, similar to L-SIGN, and not by DCs. Moreover, mSIGNR1 is also expressed by medullary and subcapsular macrophages in lymph nodes and by marginal zone macrophages (MZMs) in the spleen. Strikingly, these MZMs are in direct contact with the bloodstream and efficiently capture specific polysaccharide antigens present on the surface of encapsulated bacteria. We have investigated the in vivo function of mSIGNR1 on MZMs in spleen. We demonstrate here that mSIGNR1 functions in vivo as a pathogen recognition receptor on MZMs that capture blood-borne antigens, which are rapidly internalized and targeted to lysosomes for processing. Moreover, the antigen capture is completely blocked in vivo by the blocking mSIGNR1-specific antibodies. Thus, mSIGNR1, a murine homologue of DC-SIGN, is important in the defense against pathogens and this study will facilitate further investigations into the in vivo function of DC-SIGN and its homologues.
