The murine lacrimal gland demonstrates a high proportion of both IgA-producing cells and IgA-bearing cells, an observation consistent with tissues of the secretory immune system. This selective accumulation of IgA cells in the lacrimal gland was studied by observing the accumulation of various populations of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled lymphocytes in the gland. Labeled spleen cells were found to accumulate equally as well as mesenteric lymph node cells. T cells and T-cell-depleted populations of lymphocytes from spleen also showed migration into the gland. Surface staining of labeled cells found in the gland after 24 hr revealed that IgA-, IgG-, and IgM-bearing cells were all present in high proportions. These experiments demonstrate a random migration of lymphocytes into the lacrimal gland and suggest that the accumulation of IgA-bearing cells in the gland is regulated by the nonvascular microenvironment within the gland.
