Lymphatic ganglions

Lymphatic ganglions are the place where immune cells proliferate and differentiate. The role of the lymphatic vessels is to take an antigen from tissue to the ganglions. This allows the specific immune response to be activated by activating the T and B lymphocytes. They are kidney-shaped and their size varies according to their location.
