Lymph Node Function and Lymphocyte Circulation in the Pig

  • Chapter
Microenvironmental Aspects of Immunity

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 29))

Abstract

The microscopic architecture of the pig lymph node is known to be inverted with internally placed germinal centers and a medulla located on the outside of the node (1,2). In addition, the number (10–350/mm3) of white cells (WBC) in pig lymph is considerably lower than in other animals (3,4). In order to determine if such features are related to immune function, we have undertaken a systematic study of the pig lymph node from the following aspects: 1) the effect of stimulation by a variety of antigens, 2) the distribution of WBCs which were labelled with 3H adenosine and profused into the afferent lymphatic or the lymph node artery, 3) the effect of neonatal thymectomy.
