Follicles are areas in peripheral lymphoid organs, like lymph nodes, dominated by B cells and featuring follicular dendritic cells. They are crucial for B cell development and immune reactions.
An area of predominantly B cells in a peripheral lymphoid organ, such as a lymph node, which also contains follicular dendritic cells are called follicles. These are key sites for B cell maturation and immune responses.
