In mice deficient in either lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-alpha) or the type I tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor, but not the type II TNF receptor, germinal centers failed to develop in peripheral lymphoid organs. Germinal center formation was restored in LT-alpha-deficient mice by transplantation of normal bone marrow, indicating that the LT-alpha-expressing cells required to establish this lymphoid structure are derived from bone marrow.
在缺乏淋巴毒素α(LT-α)或I型肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)受体,但不缺乏II型TNF受体的小鼠中,外周淋巴器官无法形成生发中心。通过移植正常骨髓,LT-α缺陷小鼠的生发中心形成得以恢复,这表明建立这种淋巴结构所需的表达LT-α的细胞来源于骨髓。
