Abstract:
We studied the expression and function of CD27 and CD70, which are reported to play an important role in the T-B cell interaction in tonsillar lymphocytes of patients with chronic tonsillitis. In comparison of CD27 and CD70 in peripheral lymphocytes of each patients, no significant difference was found. Furthermore, CD27 and CD70 in T-B cell interaction and antibody production in the tonsil was studied. Our findings was confirmed that CD27 and CD70 are involved in interactions between T/T, T/B and B/B cells. A comparative study of CD27- CD4+ cells and CD70+ CD4 cells, so-called memory cells in the T cell subset, was made in tonsillar lymphocytes and peripheral lymphocytes. No significant difference was found in the presence of CD27+ CD4+ cells, but the CD27- CD4+ cells increased in tonsillar lymphocytes. This suggests recurrent antigenic stimulation and the presence of memory cells in tonsillar lymphocytes. Localization of CD27 and CD70 in tonsillar tissue was also investigate.
