Long-term survival after lung transplantation remains profoundly limited by graft rejection.
Recent work has shown that bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT), characterized by
the development of peripheral nodal addressin (PNAd)-expressing high endothelial venules
and enriched in B and Foxp3+ T cells, is important for the maintenance of allograft tolerance.
Mechanisms underlying BALT induction in tolerant pulmonary allografts, however, remain
poorly understood. Here, we show that the development of PNAd-expressing high …
