TL;DR
By following the traffic of radiolabelled lymphocytes from the blood into the lesions the HEV‐like vessels have been shown to be the preferred site of migration.
Abstract
Vessels identical to lymph node high endothelial venules (HEV) have been described in sites of non-lymphoid tissue lymphocyte accumulation. In this study the function of these (HEV-like) vessels has been investigated in BCG-induced skin lesions in the rat. By following the traffic of radiolabelled lymphocytes from the blood into the lesions the HEV-like vessels have been shown to be the preferred site of migration. The complicated development of the vessels has been studied and an hypothesis advanced to explain their inter-relationship with tissue and circulating lymphocytes.

It was concluded that the re-circulating pool of small lymphocytes was located in the lymphoid tissue, the thymus excepted, and that the rapid ‘homing’ of cells into the lymph nodes had its basis in the special affinity ofsmall lymphocytes for the endothelium of the post-capillary venules.

Intravenously injected lymphocytes began to reappear in thoracic duct lymph in large numbers earlier than in previous studies so that the time taken for most T lymphocytes to cross LN from blood to lymph fell within the broad time band of 4-18 hr.

It is suggested that lymphocytes that adhere to HEV are capable of rapid dissociation under physiologic conditions, a property that could facilitate entry of lymphocytes into the lymph node after their interaction with the specialized endothelium in vivo.

The primary migration of lymphocytes from the blood was compared in nude rats and in euthymic rats, and B and T lymphocytes left the blood faster, but this was partly attributable to a larger intravascular pool of B lymphocytes in small blood vessels, especially in the lung.

The evidence suggests that human lymph node paracortical high endothelial venules are identical to similar vessels in the lymph nodes of experimental animals and which are known to be the site of selective migration of lymphocytes into lymph nodes.

Exposure of lymphocytes to trypsin not only exerts a differential effect on lymph node and spleen localisation, it differentiates the mechanism by which lymphocytes migrate in small numbers into normal skin and other non-lymphoid tissues (trypsin resistant) from that responsible for the migration of increased numbers of lymphocyte into cell-mediated immune (CMI) lesions in the skin.
