MIGRATION OF IMMUNE CELLS
LYMPHOCYTE HOMING AND RECIRCULATION
NEUTROPHIL GRANULOCYTES ARE RECRUITED FROM THE BONE
MARROW RESERVOIRE TO INFECTED TISSUES
LYMPHOCYTE RECIRCULATION
1. Homing – most lymphocytes reside in lymphoid organs, few in circulation
2. Recruitment – chemokines and chemokine receptors, chemotaxis
Few antigen-specific lymphocytes should be recruited to the site of
antigen entry – ANTIGEN RECOGNITION (lymph node)
The appropriate effector lymphocytes shoud migrate to the site of antigen
EFFECTOR/MEMORY CELLS (tissue, lymphoid tissue)
3. Migration

peripheral lymphoid organs

LYMPH
CIRCULATION
HEV
Role of endothelial cells in trafficking and
recirculation
Endothelial cells are involved in:
Vasomotor tone, vascular permeability, regulation of coagulation, immune
modulation and lymphocyte extravasation
High endothelial venules
Post-capillary venules
Constitutively present in
secondary lymphoid tissue
Present in non-lymphoid tissues
Need to allow egress of
naïve cells from the circulation
Molecules expressed by endothelial cells regulate trafficking
and recirculation through lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues
High endothelial venules
Post capillary venules in
2º lymphoid tissue are
called HIGH
ENDOTHELIAL
VENULES.
Specialised to allow
lymphocytes and nothing
else into the lymph node
HEV
Post capillary venules in
other tissues are lined by
simple squamous
epithelium
Blood enters lymph node via the artery
Post capillary venules in the paracortex have cuboidal endothelial cells
HIGH ENDOTHELIAL VENULES - specialised properties to allow lymphocytes and
nothing else into the lymph node
