Abstract

Growing evidence for sympathetic innervation of primary and secondary lymphoid organs suggests an important functional link between the nervous and immune systems. Histochemical studies have shown that noradrenergic sympathetic fibers abundantly innervate the vasculature and parenchymal fields of lymphocytes, and are directed particularly into zones of T cells.1
