Abstract Lymphangiogenesis associated with tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) has been reported in numerous studies. However, the kinetics and dynamic changes occurring to lymphatic vascular network during TLS development have not studied. Using a viral-induced, resolving model of formation salivary glands adult mice we demonstrate that expansion is tightly regulated. Lymphatic vessel occurs two distinct phases. The first wave dependent on IL-7. second phase, responsible for leukocyte exit...
<h3>Background and objectives</h3> Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) are a stromal cell population located within the germinal centre responsible for antigen presentation process of B affinity maturation. Although FDC function is well established, origin differentiation these still debated. A recent publication (Jarjour <i>et al</i>. JEM 2014) used multicolour fate mapping techniques to show that lymph node in inflamed nodes derive from marginal reticular (MRC), found underneath subcapsular...
