Target/Biomarker Information

The Feline Lymph Node (fLN) emerges as a cornerstone of the feline immune system, diligently carrying out immune surveillance and orchestrating complex immune responses to safeguard a cat's health. Positioned strategically in various anatomical regions, the fLN serves as a sentinel, tirelessly monitoring the body's interstitial fluid, capturing antigens, and coordinating immune defenses.

Structurally, the fLN is an encapsulated organ, enclosed by a fibrous tissue known as the capsule. This capsule houses an intricate network of lymphatic sinuses and nodules where immune cells reside and interact. Within these microenvironments, immune cells are stationed, primed to detect and respond to potential threats. Among these immune cells, lymphocytes, the primary players of adaptive immunity, abound. T cells and B cells, distinct lymphocyte subsets, collaborate to recognize and target specific antigens, while macrophages act as the body's professional scavengers, clearing cellular debris and engulfing foreign invaders.

When antigens enter the lymphatic fluid, either through infection or other means, a series of events unfolds within the fLN. Antigen-presenting cells, including dendritic cells, encounter these antigens and capture them. They then migrate to the fLN, where they present the antigens to T cells. This presentation serves as a call to arms, activating T cells that recognize the specific antigen. B cells within the fLN also play a crucial role by producing antibodies that can neutralize invaders.

The fLN, in essence, functions as a training ground for immune cells. It is where naïve lymphocytes are exposed to antigens, learn to differentiate self from non-self, and develop memory responses. This training is critical for the cat's ability to mount swift and specific immune defenses upon subsequent encounters with the same antigens.
