Centron–Cortex and Cortex–Medullary Cord Junctions in the Rat Lymph Node, as seen in 1µ Paraffin Sections

Abstract

PREVIOUS communications to Nature have shown (a) that lymph-borne carbon diffusing into rat lymph node cortex from the subcapsular sinus is deflected by a barrier system around the stromal follicle or ‘centron’1; (b) that lymph-borne iron dextran within the medullary cords is prevented from entering the cortex by a similar type of barrier system2.
