摘要
Primary and secondary immune responses in the germinal centres of lymphoid organs have been studied in the past. There is now compelling evidence of a third stage in the immune response, in 'tertiary lymphoid organs' that develop at sites of chronic inflammation in response to persistent local antigen challenge. Germinal-centre-like reactions are well-documented in the target organs of autoimmune diseases. Here, we review recent evidence that they also occur at sites of allergic inflammation.
