Lymphoid organs are parts of our body that help in fighting off diseases by producing special cells called lymphocytes. These organs include the thymus, spleen, tonsils, and lymph nodes. They play an important role in our immune system by filtering harmful substances and producing cells that kill bacteria and viruses.
Full definition
These high endothelial venules (HEVs) are normally found
in lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes, where they help transport white blood cells.
In antibody - free mice infected with various viruses or with Listeria monocytogenes, viral or bacterial titers in peripheral organs, including the kidney and brain, were 10 to 100 times greater than in antibody - competent mice (and enhanced their susceptibility to some infections), and titers in
secondary lymphoid organs were 10 to 100 times lower than in antibody - competent mice.
Type 3 ILCs (ILC3s) are in addition essential for the development
of lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes and for tissue repair.
Unlike investigators before them, this team focused on T cells from
lymphoid organs such as the spleen and lymph nodes.
Lymphocytes constantly circulate through blood vessels within lymph nodes and
other lymphoid organs, but only some actually enter lymphoid tissue by crossing the walls of the vessels, known as high endothelial venules (HEVs).

peripheral lymphoid organs of non-manipulated mice.
The secondary
lymphoid organs include lymph nodes, spleen, appendix, tonsils, adenoids and Peyer's patches (lymphoid tissue present in the small and large intestines).
Differentially expression of annexins in
central lymphoid organs and leukocyte subpopulations Markus Auler (University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany)
We found that gamma (c)-LRB--) naive CD4 (+) T cells failed to accumulate in the
peripheral lymphoid organs and the few remaining cells were characterized by small size, decreased expression of MHC class I and enhanced apoptosis.
These cells were only in the T cell zones
of lymphoid organs (lymph nodes and spleen), not circulating throughout the body.
The frequency of CD39highCD8 + T cells increased with tumor growth but was absent
in lymphoid organs.
The disease originates in
a lymphoid organ (lymph node, spleen, or bone marrow) before spreading through the blood to infiltrate not only other lymphoid organs but also other tissues.
Thus, natural antibodies play a crucial role by preventing pathogen dissemination to vital organs and by improving immunogenicity through enhanced antigen - trapping in secondary
lymphoid organs.
In mice with an artificial fever, more lymphocytes (green) adhered to blood vessels (red) in
lymphoid organs and crossed the vessels into lymphoid tissue.
The phenotype of NP cells generated ex vivo (Figure S8) closely resembles that of central memory CD4 + T cells found in vivo, which persist for years in secondary
lymphoid organs and can differentiate into effector memory CD4 + T cells [45].
The key observation of this study was that MSCs infused pretransplant localize in
the lymphoid organs whereas MSC administered posttransplant are recruited to the graft [syngeneic or allogeneic].
G. Pearce, V. Angeli, G. J. Randolph, T. Junt, U. v. Andrian, H. J. Schnittler, and R. Jessberger Signaling protein SWAP - 70 is required for efficient B cell homing to
lymphoid organs.
To the identify the tissue - wide expression pattern of this receptor, they screen the full human tissue atlas and find expression in a limited number of normal tissues and cancers, including some reproductive and
lymphoid organs and cancers.
Basophils amplify the synthesis of autoantibodies by accumulating in secondary
lymphoid organs.

lymphoid organs.
Also called the lymphatic system, it is comprised of lymphatic vessels that run throughout the body (with the largest vessel being the thoracic duct, which collects a large portion of the body's lymph); lymph nodes, located in the neck, armpit, groin, and inside the center of the chest and abdomen; the tonsils and adenoids, which are collections of lymphoid tissue similar to lymph nodes; and the spleen and thymus, which are
lymphoid organs.
Secondary
lymphoid organs, which include the lymph nodes, tonsils and spleen, act as traps for incoming pathogens, whereupon foreign bodies are set upon by mature lymphocytes.
Red bone marrow and the thymus gland are considered the primary
lymphoid organs and act as incubators for maturation of lymphocytes — a type of white blood cell.
The prognosis of puppies that survive neonatal infections of CHV is guarded because damage to
lymphoid organs, brain, kidneys, and liver may be irreparable.
Therapy is typically unrewarding in systemically affected puppies, and the prognosis for puppies that do survive is guarded because damage to
lymphoid organs, brain, kidneys, and liver may be irreparable.

the lymphoid organ that is a reservoir for red blood cells and filters organisms from the blood?
