Abstract
We have already reported that folliclar dendritic cells (FDCs) in the light zone of germinal centers (GCs) reacted positively for CD23, and that there is a close relationship between T cells and CD23-positive (CD23+) FDCs in the pattern of distribution on reactive and neoplastic follicles1. It was considered that CD23+ FDCs play an important role in interacting with T cells in follicles, and participate both in the formation of GCs and the preservation of folliclar structure.
