Cell Trafficking into and out of Lymph Nodes

Lymphocytes and dendritic cells (DCs) enter lymph nodes by different routes.

Lymphocytes

  • Most lymphocytes migrating to lymph nodes enter from the peripheral blood.
  • All leukocyte types are found in the arteries of lymph nodes.
  • Only lymphocytes can interact with and extravasate through high endothelial venules (HEVs) to migrate into the lymph node parenchyma.
  • T and B cells (lymphocytes) subsequently segregate into the T-cell zones and B-cell zones.

Dendritic cells

  • DCs, together with small numbers of lymphocytes, enter lymph nodes through the afferent lymphatics.
  • then accumulate in the vicinity of high endothelial venules.
  • high endothelial venules are surrounded by fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs)

Fibroblastic reticular cells

  • (FRCs) form channels (FRC conduits) that project from the subcapsular sinus into the T-cell zone.
  • Some chemokines produced extranodally might reach HEVs through the FRC conduit.


Legend

  • B - B-cell zones
  • DC - dendritic cells
  • FRC - fibroblastic reticular cells
  • HEV - high endothelial venules
