Cytoplasmic RNA in the mouse spleen at the peak of primary immune response
Abstract:
Results of studies on the synthesis of different fractions of cytoplasmic RNA in the spleens of immunized mice at the peak of primary immune response are reported. RNA was extracted by the phenol-detergent procedure from the cytoplasm of spleen cells of mice immunized with sheep red blood cells. The kinetics of labeling in vivo with 32P-orthophosphate indicate an accelerated biosynthesis and transport from nucleus to cytoplasm of 28S, 18S and 4S fractions of RNA.

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...

Cells of the Adaptive Immune Response
The T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system develop from common lymphoid progenitor cells in the bone marrow. These progenitors give rise to precursors that eventually develop into both T and B lymphocytes. As these precursors mature, they gain the ability to detect and respond to foreign antigens in the body, a process known as immunocompetence. Additionally, these precursors acquire self-tolerance, a process that ensures they do not react to self-antigens. This intricate system...
