Multifunctional Roles of Reticular Fibroblastic Cells: More Than Meets the Eye?

Figure 1

Schematic representation of FRCs. They are spatially arranged so as to delimit a conduit channel that drives soluble molecules. Other structures evidenced are the FRC intracellular cytoplasmic channels, through which antigens are transported from the lymph to the nearby-lying antigen-presenting cells.
