Positive and negative regulation of T cell responses by fibroblastic reticular cells within paracortical regions of lymph nodes
Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) form the structural backbone of the T cell rich zones in secondary lymphoid organs, but also actively influence the adaptive immune response. They provide a guidance path for immigrating T lymphocytes and dendritic cells (DC) and are the main local source of the cy...
