    Notes: Rat popliteal and iliac lymph nodes were examined after foot-pad injections of colloidal carbon and ferritin-tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate. Carbon rapidly entered medullary sinuses, but the entry of carbon into the interstitium was prohibited by avid phagocytosis, by sinus macro-phages and by the lymphendothelium, which apparently formed a barrier to diffusion. In contrast, little carbon was phagocytosed in subcapsular sinuses, from where the particles entered the underlying cortex through holes in the lymphendothelium created by penetrating frilly cells. The distribution of ferritin was similar to that of carbon. Both carbon and ferritin localized poorly in follicles; however, preinjection of specific antibody caused enhanced follicular localization of ferritin. By electron microscopy clusters of ferritin molecules were found on the surface of dendritic cells. These cells showed different morphology from that of the interdigitating cells of the paracortex. The latter cells did not bind ferritin to their surface, even in the presence of specific antibody.

    Notes: Thoracic-duct cannulation of mesenteric lymphadenectomized (MLNx) congenially athymic nude rats was studied as a method of obtaining peripheral lymph cells. A higher recovery of non-lymphoid cells (NLC) was obtained from nude than from euthmyic littermates. Both a higher percentage and a greater number of NLC were found in nude animals. Most of these cells resembled dendritic or veiled cells and were strongly positive for Ia antigens. This population could further be enriched by irradiation of the animal, but with a risk of cell damage. Splenectomy had no effect on early output of Ia+ NLC. A substantial population of lymphoid cells from MLNx nude rats expressed T-cell antigens defined by the monoclonal antibodies OX 19, OX 8 or W3/25. These cells were more radiosensitive than were mature T cells. In addition, a large population of cells in the peripheral lymph from nude rats did not display surface antigens recognized by monoclonal antibodies directed either against B cells or against T cells. This cell fraction increased after irradiation. These cells resembled small lymphocytes but had a more irregular nucleus and multiple large granules.

    Notes: The primary migration of lymphocytes from the blood was compared in nude rats and in euthymic rats. The flatter endothelium in the post-capillary venules (PCV) in the lymph nodes of nude rats was as efficient as the high endotheluim of PCV in euthymic rats at capturing both T and B lymphocytes from the blood, although lymphocytes took a longer time to cross the PCV wall in nude recipients. The organ distribution of both lymphocytes and lymphoblasts ([125I]UdR-labelled cells) was broadly similar in nude and euthymic recipients. A second aim was to compare B and T lymphocytes with respect to the rate and sites at which they leave the blood after intravenous injection. As judged by sampling venous blood, B lymphocytes left the blood faster, but this was partly attributable to a larger intravascular pool of B lymphocytes in small blood vessels, especially in the lung. Thoracic duct lymphocytes from nude rats collected under standard conditions (16 h, 0°C) entered the cervical lymph nodes very poorly, but when lymphocyte transfer was performed under more physiological conditions entry of B lymphocytes into lymph nodes was about half that of T lymphocytes. B lymphocytes did show a slight preference for entry into Peyer's patches compared with lymph nodes.

    Notes: Although lymph nodes are conventionally regarded as composed of superficial cortex, deep cortex, and medulla, a more fundamental division of compartments is the sinuses, the interslitium, and the germinal centres. Whereas the superficial cortex, the deep cortex, and the medullary cords merge gradually into each other, the sinuses, the interstitium, and the germinal centres are separated by cellular borders that seem sufficiently complete to limit the rate of exchange of cells and molecules. Accordingly, the cellular composition shows distinct differences on either side of these borders. These compartments show further division into regions, the sinuses into superficial and deeply situated sinuses, the interstitium into superficial interstitium, follicles, paracortical nodules, and medullary interstitium, characterized by differences in densities of various cell types. Mechanisms behind the different distribution of cells within the different lymph node compartments and regions are discussed.

    Notes: The lymph nodes (LN) of the congenitally athymic nude rat (rnu) were compared with the LN of non-nude littermates. The mesenteric and coeliac LN were smaller in the rnu rats, but the axillary and the cervical LN were larger. Germinal centres were found in the LN of nude rats. They were scarce and often very small, but some were of normal structure, especially in the cervical LN. The endothelium of post-capillary venules in the LN paracortex was usually flat, but occasionally plump endothelium, typical of post-capillary venules in the LN of normal rats, was seen. The paracortex was extremely depleted of lymphocytes but remained a distinct area occupied predominantly by pale interdigitating cells. In some LN the medullary sinuses were distended and the cords engorged with plasma cells. The predominant cells in thoracic duct lymph were immunoglobulin-positive B lymphocytes. The hourly output of these cells was the same as that in non-nude littermates. However, small numbers of thoracic duct cells were positive for the markers identified by the monoclonal antibodies W3/13 and W3/25, although in normal rats these are not expressed on small B lymphocytes.

    Notes: In a first night's collection of rat thoracic duct lymphocytes B- and T-cells were distinguished on cytocentrifuge smears by complementary markers: B-cells by rosette-formation with Staphylococcus aureus Strain Cowan 1 armed with rabbit antiserum to rat F(ab')2 and T-cells by high uptake of 3H-uridine demonstrated by autoradiography. On incubation of the cytocentrifuge smears for demonstration of alpha-naphthyl-acetate esterase (ANAE)-activity, most B-cells showed large, intense colour deposits often located in the uropod. T-cell ANAE-activity on the other hand. was variable, possibly due to variations in experimental conditions. When present, the T-cell colour deposits were small, dot-like and of low intensity. ANAE-activity may then he used to differentiate between rat T- and B-cells, being a marker for the latter cell type. This is unexpected as others have reported that ANAE-activity is specific for T-cells in mouse and man. Studies with inhibitors indicate that the rat B-cell enzyme belongs to the acetylesterases.

    Notes: Purified dendritic leucocytes (DL) were pulsed briefly in vitro with haptenated monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) to MHC class II and immediately injected i. v. into syngeneic recipients. Strong anti-hapten humoral responses were observed even though only a few picomoles of specific MoAb-hapten conjugates were injected with the DL. In contrast, DL pulsed with control conjugates, i. e. haptenated non-binding MoAbs, gave only weak responses. DL thus, can take up, process and present protein antigens even after brief exposure in vitro, and their immunogenicity is enhanced by pulsing with antigen conjugated to specific MoAbs. Furthermore, in the presence of fetal calf serum (FCS), but not normal rat serum, the control MoAb W6/32 (against human MHC class I) bound to DL. The vigorous primary humoral response achieved following this pulsing indicates that it is the binding and the corresponding increased uptake that enhances the immunogenicity of the DL.

    Notes: The normal lymph node comprises a superficial cortex, a deep cortex or paracortex and a medulla. In each of these regions there are three kinds of spaces: an intralymphatic space, an intravascular space and an extravascular space or interstitium. Both the vascular endothelium and the lymphatic endothelium are specialized in these different regions. The cell types in lymph nodes comprise lymphoid cells, accessory or non-lymphoid cells and stromal cells, and within these cell types a number of different sub-types can now be identified by means of enzyme- and immunocytochemistry. Based predominantly on experimental studies, the origin, migratory patterns, localization, inter-relationships and interactions between these various cells are reviewed.

    Notes: Two experiments are described concerned with the mechanism of host cell activation in the rat popliteal lymph node (LN) undergoing a graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction. (1) Irradiated, F1 hybrid hosts (750 rad) mounted an impaired response to parental strain T cells. This was augmented by an intravenous injection of F1 hybrid lymphocytes but not by parental strain B lymphocytes syngeneic with the initiating T cells. When the donor T cells (footpad) und B lymphocytes (intravenous) were completely allogeneic the residual response of the irradiated F1 was completely inhibited. (2) The popliteal LN response in the semi-allogeneic situation of the type (A × C)F1→(B × C)F1 was, if anything, weaker than in the allogeneic situation AA→BB. These results and other data are discussed in terms of a possible major histocompatibility complex (MHC) requirement for host cell activation. The sharing of an MHC haplotype between donor and host cells is unlikely to be a necessary or sufficient condition for host cell activation.
