Coverdesign:WMXDesignGmbH,Heidelberg,Germany Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www.springer.com) Preface The human immune system is a complex network oftissues and organs dispersed throughoutthebody.Theseanatomicformationsatdefinitelocationsandnumbers are populated overwhelmingly with white blood cells (lymphocytes and other leukocytes) that are specialized to recognize invading pathogens and eventually destroythese. Thesceneforsuchcollaborativeworkisthesetoftissuescollectivelyreferredto asperipherallymphoidtissuesandorgans,todistinguishfromthosecentral/primary lymphoid tissues where the bulk of pathogen-responsive cells develop. Among vertebrates, the mammalians (including humans) possess the broadest range of peripherallymphoidtissuesandorgans.Althoughsimilarinfunctions,theseterri- tories are remarkably different in the way how they emerge during development, gainfunctionalcompetence,andwhattissueorganizationtheyachieve. This interlinked relationship of development–structure–functionality necessi- tates a volume dedicated to those developmental events that occur at the site of future immune responses, but take place prior to any encounter with external pathogens, and are crucial for subsequent immunological defense. In this regard, these biological processes strikingly mirror the evolution and advance of human society where, as a result of several thousands of years of history and social development, sophisticated infrastructure suiting highly diverse activities has been created. Buildings for living, education, work, as well as transport routes andruleshavebeencreatedwellbeforetheactualneedarises,butinaforeseeable and predictable pattern as a common elementin preventing chaos and collapse of the system. These sites are to be filled in by people trained to perform their own individual tasks for the society’s benefit as dictated by their individual capacities and conditions. In this regard, lymphocytes (demonstrating a high-degree of indi- vidualitythroughtheirclonallyrearrangedantigenreceptors)populateandinteract within those tissues whose formation had been initiated well before the duty bell rang,intheformofantigensengagingbothclonalandnonclonalreceptors.
