Activation of adaptive immune response II. Lymph node 4. Germinal centre (site of intense B cell proliferation) 3. Secondary lymphoid follicle 2. Primary Lymphoid follicle (B cell area) Paracortical (T cell) area 1. Afferent lymphatic vessel. Lymph, Ag, & cells with captured Ag drained from tissues enters here 5. Medullary cords (Macrophage & plasma cell area) 6. Efferent lymphatic vessel Artery Vein Medullary sinus Marginal sinus Secondory follicle Afferent lymph Primary follicle B CELLS Germinal Center (GC) B CELLS medulla High endothelial venule (HEV) Trabecula Collagen capsule Paracortex Cortex mature,naive Mature,naive BB-sejt cell FDC Efferent lymph vein arthery B CELLS T CELLS Memory B cell Plasma cell STRUCTURE OF LYMPH NODES HOMING OF B LYMPHOCYTES IN LYMPH NODES Naive B lymphocytes enter lymph nodes via HEV B cells are reqruited to HEV from the blood by CCL21 chemokine secreted by stromal cells CCL21 and CCL19 chemokines attract B lymphocytes to the lymph node Capsule Subcapsular sinus Valve Capsule Trabecula Medullary cords Follicles Cortex Medullary sinuses Blood & Lymphatic vessels Artery and vein Lymphatic STRUCTURE OF THE SPLEEN STRUCTURE OF THE SPLEEN NO LYMPHOID CIRCULATION Filtration of blood borne antigens Spleen white pulp Transverse section Marginal sinus B cell corona Red pulp Germinal centre Marginal zone Periarteriolar lymphocytic sheath (PALS) – T cell area Central arteriole MALT Most pathogens attack mucosal epithelia Covered by mucus containing glycoproteins, proteoglycans, enzymes Antimicrobial peptides protect against physical damage and infection Thin dynamic layers covering large areas Well protected by the immune system More lymphocytes are assigned to the mucosal surfaces than to the rest of the body Peyer’s patches Dome area Villi GC Gut-associated lymphoid tissues Peyer’s patches 5-100 follicles forming a dome structure M-cells: microfold cells --- no glycocalyx – antigen uptake Transport of antigens via M cells Dendritic cells of the lamina propria outside Peyer’s patches capture antigens by sampling the gut lumen directly Large number of intraepithelial lymphocytes are present in gut epthelia Intraepithelial lymphocytes
