title: Immunoarchitecture of the human spleen.
abstract: New immunochemical staining techniques reveal key topographic aspects of splenic immune function. Distinct compartmentalization of B and T cells and lymphocytic subtypes within the white and red pulp of the human spleen provide a morphologic basis for division of labor in the immune response.
