Abolished net output of lymphocytes from the spleen after immunization with Salmonella typhi H

Cell release from the spleen was studied by comparing the content of mono- and polynuclear leucocytes in splenic afferent and efferent blood. A difference in the content of mononuclear cells was registered in normal animals, indicating a release of such cells from the spleen. Immunization with Salmonella typhi H antigen reduced this veno-arterial difference and abolished it totally after 11 days. Normal values were obtained again 28 days after immunization. The results indicate that the antigen causes an altered relation between input and output of mononuclear cells, mainly lymphocytes.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
