The realization of essential cellular'interactions in the immune
response convokes a better understandin~ of the fixed and free
cellular components of lymphatic tissue. Ger~inal centers of
lymphatic tissue have long been considered to have a funda~ental
role in the immune reaction, and have been suspected of being
topographic regions where so~e of these essential cellular inter-
actions may occur. The physiological significance of these topo-
graphic regions in lynphatic tissue is only now becoming clarified
from recent studies of antigen localization, but the histo2enic
relation of the cellular compartments still needs to be resolved.
This book represents the Proceedings of the Second International
Conference on Lymphatic Tissue Germinal Centers, held at the
University of Padova, Padova, Italy, June 26-28, 1968. The aim of
the ~eeting was to bring together current infor~ation on the
physiological significance of germinal centers in ly~rhatic tissue
and their possible role in the immune response. The range of
interests extended from phylogenesis and ~orphology to studies of
antigen and viral localization, cytokinetics and cytodifferen-
tiation, immunochemistry, and im~unosuppression. The interactions
of central lymphoid organs, such as the thymus and bursa, are
studies having an essential role in these Proceedings. Also,
several studies deal with lymphatic tissue germinal centers in
delayed hypersensitiv- ity and neoplastic disease. The effects of
immunosuppressive drugs, antilymphocyte serum, radiation and
hormones on lymphatic tissue and germinal centers are also areas
covered in these Proceedings.
