Interruption of the afferent lymphatic vessels of the popliteal lymph node [LN] in rats resulted in the disappearance of high endothelial venules (HEV) and immigrating lymphocytes within 3 wk. HEV showed several characteristic morphological changes: the endothelial cells became flattened and less pyroninophilic, the chromatin became condensed, and protein synthetizing and secretory cell organelles became scarce. At the same time, the number of macrophages in the LN was severely reduced. Injection of sheep red blood cells into such LN, 6 wk after operation, resulted in reappearance of HEV and immigrating lymphocytes and development of many plasma cells and some germinal centers. Injection of [Escherichia coli] lipopolysaccharide into the operated LN resulted in the appearance of many plasma cells and a few poorly developed germinal centers; HEV and immigrating lymphocytes remained almost absent. The results show a relationship between the immigration of lymphocytes and the activity of the endothelial cells in the HEV. The activation of the latter may occur by mediators released by antigen-stimulated macrophages and T cells. The morphological features of the HEV are independent of the presence of recirculating lymphocytes.
