The "in situ" immune response in lymph nodes: a review

N van Rooijen. Anat Rec. 1987 Aug.

Abstract

For many years data on the development of specific antibody-forming cells in lymph nodes were incomplete, fragmentary, and even contradictory. A number of recent studies have been performed, concerning 1) their overall architecture; 2) migration of B-lymphocytes; 3) localization of accessory cells and T-lymphocytes which are believed to be involved in humoral immune responses; and 4) localization patterns of specific antibody-forming cells developing during thymus dependent and thymus independent immune responses. Comparison of these new results with those of earlier studies suggests a single route of migration followed by all cells which will differentiate into antibody-forming cells. During their differentiation into antibody-forming plasma cells, antigen reactive B-cells migrate along the required accessory cells and/or T-lymphocytes.
