Follicules in the lymph node are surrounded and separated by the interfollicular cortex. Together with the lymph node follicle, the interfollicular cortex of the lymph node lobule make up the superficial cortex of the lymph node. Capillaries empty into the high endothelial venules located in the interfollicular cortex. The interfollicular cortex also serves as transit corriders for lymphocytes migrating between the B and T cell areas.
