cGAMP Promotes Germinal Center Formation and Production of IgA in Nasal-Associated Lymphoid Tissue
Induction of immunoglobulin (Ig) A in the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract and the nasal cavity protects against influenza virus infection. Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are used as mucosal adjuvants to enhance the immunogenicity of intranasal influenza hemagglutinin (HA) vaccines. The adjuvant activity of 2'3' cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) on Ig production w...
متن کاملBiology of germinal centers in lymphoid tissue.
Germinal centers in lymphoid tissue are the sites of generation of memory B cells undergoing isotype switching and somatic mutation in their Ig genes. Their formation cannot be induced by stimuli other than immunogenic ones. It seems likely that in the function and possibly also in the formation of germinal centers, one important factor is the localization of immune complexes with fixed complem...
متن کاملComparison of murine nasal-associated lymphoid tissue and Peyer's patches.
The nasal mucosal is the first site of contact with inhaled antigens. However, the nature of local immune responses and the role of nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) in those responses have rarely been studied. To characterize the cells involved in mucosally derived immune responses, NALT and Peyer's patch (PP) cells from normal mice, and mice immunized intragastrically or intranasally wi...
متن کاملLow CXCL13 Expression, Splenic Lymphoid Tissue Atrophy and Germinal Center Disruption in Severe Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis
Visceral leishmaniasis is associated with atrophy and histological disorganization of splenic compartments. In this paper, we compared organized and disorganized splenic lymphoid tissue from dogs naturally infected with Leishmania infantum assessing the size of the white pulp compartments, the distribution of T, B and S100+ dendritic cells, using immunohistochemistry and morphometry and the exp...
متن کاملMicrovascular architecture of rat nasal associated lymphoid tissue.
The blood vascular architecture of the rat nasal associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) was studied by scanning electron microscopy of corrosion casts. To examine the correlation of the vasculature with the distribution of lymphocyte subsets, the NALT was also studied by light microscopy of immuno-stained samples. The NALT was supplied by a branch of the inferior nasal artery which arose from the sp...
