Migration of Activated Lymphocytes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 184))

Abstract

When lymphocytes leave the primary lymphoid organs as mature but naive cells, they enter the recirculating pool, moving continuously from the blood into the secondary lymphoid organs, spleen, lymph nodes and Peyer’s patches, from which they return, directly or via efferent lymph, back to the blood (Gowans and Knight 1964). In addition, some of the cells also pass through nonlymphoid tissues, such as lung, liver, gut wall or skin, from which they return into circulation either directly or via afferent lymph/lymph nodes/efferent lymph (Fig. 1).
