Localization of blood coagulation factors and fibrinolysis factors within lymphoid germinal centers in human lymph nodes

M Yamakawa et al. Histochemistry. 1991.

Abstract

The presence of nineteen blood coagulation factors and fibrinolysis factors was immunohistochemically evaluated in human lymph node germinal centers (GCs). Twelve of these factors were detected within lymphoid GCs. The predominant pattern was dendritic with occasional crescent-shaped, ring-shaped or 'moth-eaten' appearance. Immunostains of factor VIII-related antigen, factor I, protein C, tetranectin, antithrombin III, type 2-plasminogen activator inhibitor, and alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor were almost entirely absent from GCs, although they reacted in vascular wall and lumen, respectively. The immunostaining to high molecular weight kininogen, kallikrein, factors XII, X, V, II, XIIIa, XIIIs, plasminogen, tissue-plasminogen activator, and type 1-plasminogen activator inhibitor more frequently revealed a positive dendritic pattern. Immuno-electron microscopy demonstrated factor X and factor XIIIa attached to the cell surfaces of lymphocytes, macrophages, and follicular dendritic cells (FDCs); and in the intercellular space within GCs, especially attached to the labyrinthine-like structure of FDCs. No reaction products were observed in the perinuclear cisternae and rough endoplasmic reticulum in either lymphocytes or FDCs. Our data demonstrate that human lymphoid GCs really contain some of the proteins related to the blood coagulation and fibrinolysis cascades.
