Secondary lymphoid tissue spleen

In the specialized environment of secondary lymphoid tissues such as lymph nodes or spleen, dendritic cells provide the requirements for naive T-lymphocytes to become activated and to proliferate. The professional antigen-presenting cells present peptides in MHC II, express costimulatory molecules, and release cytokines into the immunological synapse, which is formed by the antigen-presenting cell and the naive T-lymphocyte. Thus, cells of innate immunity initiate and facilitate the activation of naive lymphocytes, and it is easily conceivable that their cytokines and adhesion molecules will instruct the naive T-lymphocyte during activation and differentiation to T-effector cells. [Pg.614]

The immune system functions to protect the organism against infection, foreign proteins, and neoplastic cells. It is organized into primary lymphoid tissue such as bone marrow and thymus and secondary lymphoid tissues such as spleen and lymph nodes. The cells of the immune system are leukocytes and a specific type produces immunoglobulins. [Pg.248]

Figure 31-1 (A) Locations of the primary and secondary tissues of the immune system. The primary lymphoid organs are the thymus, which makes T cells, and the hone marrow, which forms B cells. After moving from these organs into the blood circulation the cells reach one of the secondary lymphoid organs, which include lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, and Peyer s patches on the small intestine. Immature dendritic cells are found in body tissues including skin and mucous membranes and respond to foreign proteins by inducing attack by T lyphocytes and antibody formation by B cells.

The spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, and gut-associated lymphoid tissue comprise the secondary or peripheral system wherein T and B lymphocytes undergo terminal differentiation in response to antigen stimulation. [Pg.822]

Stimulation of the human immune system through the lymphoid tissue of the intestines can occur directly or indirectly. Such stimulation may involve the effect produced on the primary (bone marrow, thymus, and liver) and secondary organs (spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, lymphoid tissue of bronchi, intestines, and skin) and... [Pg.50]

The activation of the stress systems affects all tissues of the organism, and the peripheral immune system is no exception. These effects are mediated through at least tw o pathways via the HPA axis and by virtue of the innervation of lymphatic tissues by autonomic nerve fibers, especially from the sympathetic nervous system. All lymphoid tissues, primary (bone marrow and thymus) as well as secondary (spleen, lymph nodes, and gut-associated lymphoid tissue) are innervated by sympathetic nerve fibers. As discussed above, most lymphoid cells express catecholamine receptors, including B-lymphocytes, CD4- and CD 8-positive T cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages. [Pg.482]
