Lymph Node Transplantation and Its Immunological Significance in Animal Models

Figure 2

Early after regeneration LN are disorganized whereas after two months LN are regenerated. Cryosections of transplanted LN were stained with mAbs against B cells. The mLN of an untreated animal shows a typical compartmental structure, whereas two weeks after transplantation the architecture of the compartments is destroyed. Only small clusters of B cells are seen. Eight weeks after transplantation large B cell areas are again found, comparable to the control mLN.
