Abstract
Our previous studies identified a role for MZM in the movement of lymphocytes into the splenic white pulp. Here we show that phagocytosis of colloidal carbon by marginal zone macrophages results in a splenic influx of B lymphocytes, and T lymphocytes of memory/activated phenotype, with concomitant upregulation of B Lymphocyte Chemoattractant (BLC, CXCL13) mRNA, a chemokine acting on B and memory/activated T lymphocytes. The recruitment of B cells and activated T cells to the spleen after phagocytic uptake would allow an immune response against blood-borne pathogens to be quickly and effectively mounted by bringing together the two key cell types responsible for generating humoral immunity
