Annotation genes
ACKR1, CCL14, HLA-DRB5, LY6E
Annotation rationales
ACKR1/DARC marks post-capillary venules specialized in chemokine transcytosis. HLA-DRB5 highlights antigen-presenting capacity. LY6E is an ISG often present in tonic immune-interactive endothelia. CCL14 contributes to myeloid chemoattraction. This defines baseline venous ECs in immune trafficking hubs.
Functional implications
Chemokine-handling venous ECs that present/transport chemokines and support leukocyte adhesion/extravasation even at rest. They act as immune set-points, bridging circulation and tissue surveillance, maintaining readiness for immune recruitment in peripheral tissues.
