The first paragraphs of this chapter review the salient functions of lymphoid tissue, which is important in order to evaluate the unique function of the liver as lymphoid organ. This is followed by a thorough review of the current knowledge of hepatic immune functions that render the liver a lymphoid organ and will provide a conceptual framework for a better understanding of the more detailed chapters on particular hepatic immune functions in this textbook.
