Early discoveries led researchers to home in on the hematopoietic system, the organs that produce the two kinds of blood cells, lymphoid and myeloid cells.

PTPN22 is involved in the formation of a key protein known as lymphoid tyrosine phosphatase (LYP), which helps control the activity of T and B cells in the immune system.

As things make their way through your digestive system, your gut - associated lymphoid tissue, or GALT, which is the term for the immune system in your gut, reviews everything to check for potentially harmful substances.

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.

These foreign particles really piss off your immune system, who's standing guard to protect you with 80 % of its soldiers right inside the gut wall in what's called the Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT).

In a healthy dog, the lymphoid system is an important part of the body's immune system defense against infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria.

Other, but rarer, causes of metastatic calcification include kidney disease (this is the most common cause in cats), malignant tumors producing abnormal hormones that increase blood calcium concentrations (e.g. tumors of the lymphoid system and glands of the anal sac), diabetes mellitus and lung disease.
