Male Wistar rats were injected i.v. with 5-(3H)uridine-labeled lymphocytes isolated from lymph nodes of syngeneic donors and enriched in T cells. After short periods of time (3-120 min after injection), labeled lymphocytes were localized in spleen compartments using autoradiography to identify routes of lymphocyte movement from blood into splenic parenchyma and to follow migration pathways of recirculating lymphoctyes within the periarterial lymphoid sheath (PALS). Topographical analysis of labeled lymphocytes was performed in specific planes of PALS characterized by the diameter of the arterial vessel and termed PALS large, PALS medium, and PALS small (PALS L, PALS M, PALS S, respectively). Attention was also paid to accumulations of labeled lymphocytes close to the arterial vessel wall. Initially, labeled lymphocytes were localized in PALS S and PALS M near the terminal branching of arterial vessels and in the marginal zone (MZ). Lymphocytes apparently emigrate from blood into splenic parenchyma within 2 white pulp compartments: in MZ, and directly within PALS through the wall of capillary vessels. The sequential accumulation of labeled cells near arterial vessels of increasing diameter suggests that the recirculating pool of lymphocytes migrates into the central part of PALS L by 2 routes: from MZ, and along arterial vessels from PALS S and PALS M.
