Spleen: white pulp

The marginal zone is a region located at the interface of the PALS with the red pulp. The marginal zone contains numerous thin walled blood sinuses, which are supplied by radial branches from the central arteriole. The surrounding reticular tissue contains numerous lymphocytes and macrophages. The marginal zone is an important transit area for both immune cells and antigens and for the initiation of an immune response. 400x
