Summary Histological observation on the mesenteric lymph node and Peyer's patches of C3H B mice, neonatally thymectomized, lethally irradiated and reconstituted with syngeneic bone marrow cells, showed that a large number of lymphocytes appeared selectively in the restricted territory surrounding the post-capillary venules. Severe depletion of lymphocytes persisted in most of the thymus-dependent areas. Lymphocytes were also observed passing through the walls of the post-capillary venules. Autoradiographic studies on the mesenteric lymph node of recipient B mice 30 minutes after intravenous injection of cells labelled with 3H-uridine and taken from lymph nodes of donor B mice showed that B lymphocytes could penetrate the walls of the post-capillary venules from the blood into the peripheral lymphoid tissues. The post-capillary venules, which are known as the recirculating route of T lymphocytes in normal animals, are thought to be the pathway of migrating B lymphocytes in B mice.
