Peyers patch and nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) are
mucosal lymphoid tissues that appear similar in structure and function.
Surprisingly, we found that NALT, unlike Peyers patch, was formed
independently of lymphotoxin (LT)
. Furthermore, using mice deficient
in the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-
, we found
that NALT was formed in the absence of
CD4+CD3- cells, which are thought to be the
embryonic source of LT
. However, we also found that NALT of
LT
-/- animals was disorganized and lymphopenic,
suggesting that the organization and recruitment of lymphocytes within
NALT remained dependent on LT
. Finally, we demonstrated that both
the structure and function of NALT were restored in
LT
-/- animals upon reconstitution with normal bone
marrow. These results demonstrate that the organogenesis of NALT occurs
through unique mechanisms.
