Multi-layered microarchitecture of the LN. (A) Schematic overview of the LN architecture and cellular organization. Zoom-in panels represent confocal microscopy images stained for indicated markers. BF, B cell follicle; IF, inter-follicular; SCS, subcapsular sinus; HEV, high endothelial venule; FDC, follicular dendritic cell; TRC, T cell zone fibroblastic reticular cell; MRC, marginal reticular cell; BEC, blood endothelial cell; LEC, lymphatic endothelial cell. (B) Network graphs of the TRC network and equivalent network models; Watts-Strogatz small-world network, Erdos-Renyi random network and 1D ring lattice network. Colors indicate nodes with low (blue) or high (red) betweenness centrality.
