3D investigation shows walls and wall-like structures around human germinal centres, probably regulating T- and B-cell entry and exit.

This study deals with 3D laser investigation on the border between the human lymph node T-zone and germinal centre. Only a few T-cells specific for antigen selected B-cells are allowed to enter germinal centres. This selection process is guided by sinus structures, chemokine gradients and inherent m...
