inside a lymph node is the very last place i would expect a transplant. they are teaming with immune cells that should be hostile to an inter-species transplant. there are no red blood cells for oxygen, just lymph fluid. how would it recruit blood vessels to grow? it would be painful; swollen glands. why not orthotopic?

Years ago, someone noticed that hepatocytes injected into a mouse's abdomen would migrate into the lymph nodes and start making liver cells. I don't even know why they were doing that in the first place, but all this research follows from that observation.
