ABSTRACT
The peripheral cortex of a lymph node consists of folliculo-nodules (follicles with a nodule or germinal center) and an extrafollicular zone. In the course of an analysis of the nodes in rats under various experimental or abnormal conditions, our attention became focused on the particularities of a thin layer of peripheral cortex underlying the subcapsular sinus. The present paper reports on observations which led to the identification of the "subsinus layer" of the peripheral cortex. The observations suggest that this layer complements the activity of the inner wall of the subcapsular sinus. The layer probably contributes to the selection of certain elements from the afferent lymph and guides them towards the node area where they can join the cell population involved in the immunological activity in which they are to participate.
