Context-Dependent Development of Lymphoid Stroma from Adult CD34+ Adventitial Progenitors

Despite the key role of primary and secondary lymphoid organ stroma in immunity, our understanding of the heterogeneity and ontogeny of these cells remains limited. Here, we identify a functionally distinct subset of BP3−PDPN+PDGFRβ+/α+CD34+ stromal adventitial cells in both lymph nodes (LNs) and thymus that is located within the vascular niche surrounding PDPN−PDGFRβ+/α−Esam-1+ITGA7+ pericytes. CD34+ adventitial cells developed in late...
