We have revealed that 100200 clusters, filled with closely
packed lymphocytes, can be found throughout the length of the
antimesenteric wall of the mouse small intestine. They are
composed of a large B cell area, including a germinal center, and
epithelia overlying the clusters contain M cells. A large fraction of B
cells displays
B220+CD19+CD23+IgMlowIgDhighCD5-Mac-1-
phenotype, and the composition of IgA+ B cells is smaller
but substantial. To our knowledge, these clusters are the first
identification of isolated lymphoid follicles (ILF) in mouse small
intestine. ILF can be first detected at 7 (BALB/c mice) and 25 (C57BL/6
mice) days after birth, and lymphoid clusters equivalent in terms of
cellular mass to ILF are present in germfree, athymic nude,
RAG-2-/-, TCR-
-/-, and Ig
µ-chain mutant (µm-/-) mice, although
c-kit+ cells outnumber B220+ cells
in germfree and athymic nude mice, and most lymphoid residents are
c-kit+B220- in
RAG-2-/-, TCR-
-/-, and
µm-/- mice. ILF develop normally in the progeny
of transplacentally manipulated Peyers patch (PP)-deficient mice, and
decreased numbers of conspicuously atrophied ILF are present in
IL-7R
-/- PPnull mice. Neither ILF nor PP
are detectable in lymphotoxin
-/- and
aly/aly mice that retain well-developed cryptopatches
(CP) and thymus-independent subsets of intraepithelial T cells, whereas
ILF, PP, CP, and thymus-independent subsets of intraepithelial T cells
disappear from common cytokine receptor
-chain mutant mice. These
findings indicate that ILF, PP, and CP constitute three distinct
organized gut-associated lymphoid tissues that reside in the lamina
propria of the mouse small intestine.
