Lymphoid tissue on the mind

Trends Immunol. 2024 Apr 17:S1471-4906(24)00071-1. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2024.04.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo surveil an organ for pathogens, lymphoid structures need to sample antigens locally. The full set of lymphoid structures involved in surveilling for brain-tropic pathogens has not been defined. Through comprehensive imaging of the mouse meninges, a new study by Fitzpatrick et al. describes dural-associated lymphoid tissue (DALT) and its contribution to humoral responses following intranasal viral infection.PMID:38637201 | DOI:10.1016/j.it.2024.04.002
