Sites of B-cell activation in vivo.

Journal Article (Review)

Novel techniques have made possible in situ analyses of the lymphocyte populations responding to antigen. In the spleen, antigen-specific T and B cells are first observed in the periarteriolar lymphoid sheath. Following conjugate formation between specific T and B lymphocytes, B-cell proliferation and differentiation takes place in two distinct sites, the periarteriolar lymphoid sheath-associated foci and germinal centers.
