Abstract
Germinal centers (GC) may develop in follicles of peripheral lymphoid organs as response to stimulation with T cell dependent antigens (for review see Nieuwenhuis and Opstelten, 1986). Essentially, GC are clusters of actively dividing B lymphoblastoid cells which are thought to give rise to memory-B cells. In addition to B cells, GC are composed of some T (helper) cells and a specific non-lymphoid cell, the follicular dendritic cell.KeywordsGerminal CenterFollicular Dendritic CellPeripheral Lymphoid OrganGerminal Center CellLeucocyte Common AntigenThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
