Summary

Artery tertiary lymphoid organs (ATLOs) form in atherosclerotic arteries, not healthy ones. These structures create neuroimmune cardiovascular interfaces (NICIs) that link the nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems, influencing disease progression.

Three-Dimensional Imaging of Aortic Tissues in Atherosclerosis

Here, we present optimized tissue-clearing protocols to image the murine aorta in three dimensions (3D). We delineate state-of-the-art procedures for immunostaining, optical clearing, and imaging with the intent to define the anatomical proximity of the peripheral nervous system with atherosclerotic plaques and the adventitia in...

Primary Lymphoid Organs

Primary lymphoid organs are pivotal in the formation, development, and maturation of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that serve as the backbone of our immune system. This crucial function underscores their fundamental role in maintaining our overall health and immunity. The two primary lymphoid organs of prime importance are the red bone marrow and the thymus.
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs

Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
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...

Quantification of Atherosclerosis in Mice

Murine models of atherosclerosis are useful tools to investigate pathogenic pathways on a molecular level, but require standardized quantification of lesion development. This protocol describes an optimized method to determine lesion size in the major arterial vessels including the aortic root, aortic arch, and brachiocephalic...

Assessment of the Synaptic Interface of Primary Human T Cells from Peripheral Blood and Lymphoid Tissue

The protocol describes a technique to study the ability of primary polyclonal human T cells to form synaptic interfaces using planar lipid bilayers. We use this technique to show the differential synapse formation capability of human primary T cells derived from lymph nodes and peripheral...

Assay for the Identification of Interferon-Gamma Secretion in Murine Lymphoid Organs

This video demonstrates an imaging method to visualize in situ interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) secretion in the mouse spleen. Following bacterial infection and the induction of IFN-γ accumulation inside T cells and natural killer cells, the spleen is harvested from the mouse. Upon obtaining tissue sections, immunostaining is performed to visualize IFN-γ inside the...
