Summary : Antigen-specific T lymphocytes constantly patrol the body to search for invading pathogens. Given the large external and internal body surfaces that need to be surveyed, a sophisticated strategy is necessary to facilitate encounters between T cells and pathogens. Dendritic cells present at all body surfaces are specialized in capturing pathogens and bringing them to T zones of secondary lymphoid organs, such as the lymph nodes and the spleen. Here, dendritic cells present antigenic fragments and activate the rare antigen-specific T lymphocytes. This induction of an immune response is facilitated in multiple ways by a dense network of poorly characterized stromal cells, termed fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs). They constitutivel...
