Mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) are an essential component of the intestinal immune system. They are comprised of a few dendritic cell and macrophage subsets, all with the common ability to sample extracellular milieu and to discriminate between dangerous and innocuous signals. Despite the commonality, each MP subset acquires distinct developmental pathways and unique functions, likely to fulfill needs of the tissue in which they reside. Some MP subsets develop from monocytes and are distinguished by their expression of CX3C-chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1). This manuscript summarizes our expertise in in vivo targeting of intestinal CX3CR1(+) MP subsets. The described tools might be useful for studies of CX3CR1(+) MP function in various murine experimental models, particularly under non-inflammatory conditions.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 December 2015.
All research outputs
#18,775,840
of 27,251,929 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Immunological Methods
#708
of 708 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#240,049
of 385,719 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Immunological Methods
#3
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,251,929 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 708 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 385,719 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
