IgG immunoglobulin in the wall of post-capillary venules: possible relationship to lymphocyte recirculation

Immunology. 1971 Jan;20(1):115-8.

Abstract

A markedly positive reaction for IgG at the endothelial cell borders in post-capillary venules of human tonsils was obtained using modified fluorescent antibody techniques. This observation is discussed in relation to lymphocyte recirculation at this site.
