Antigen localisation regulates immune responses in a dose- and time-dependent fashion: a geographical view of immune reactivity

Immunological Reviews
R M ZinkernagelH Hengartner

Abstract

This review summarises experimental evidence to illustrate that induction of immune reactivity depends upon antigen reaching and being available in lymphoid organs in a dose- and time-dependent manner. If antigen reaches lymph organs in a localised staggered manner and with a concentration gradient, a response is induced in the draining lymph node. Antigen-presenting cells are of critical importance to transport antigen from the periphery to local organised lymphoid tissue. If antigen is all over the lymphoid system, then it deletes all specific cells in the thymus or induces them within a few days; because of their limited life-span they then die off, leaving the repertoire depleted of this specificity. If antigen does not reach lymphoid organs it is ignored by immune cells. Once a response is induced, activated but not resting T cells will reach antigen outside lymphoid organs, whereas activated B cells differentiate into plasma cells in an inducing environment, mostly in lymphoid tissue including bone marrow, but also in chronic lymphoid-like infiltrations in peripheral organs. In immunopathology (when the infectious agent is known) or in autoimmunity (when the triggering infectious agent is not known or not recognised) lymp...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
