Description:
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.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Matsumoto, M -- Mariathasan, S -- Nahm, M H -- Baranyay, F -- Peschon, J J -- Chaplin, D D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Mar 1;271(5253):1289-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Immunology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8638112" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
