1Department of Anatomy, University of Oulu, Finland.
Abstract:
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity is demonstrated in lymphoid tissue for the first time using the histochemical (Hansson's) method. A CA-positive reaction was seen in lymphocytes present in T-lymphocyte areas in both the lymph node and the spleen. The most intense staining was seen in the small T-lymphocytes, whereas the medium-sized T-lymphocytes were less markedly stained. The cortical lymphocytes in the thymus were completely devoid of staining, but the small medullary T-lymphocytes stained intensely. The results suggest that peripheral and thymic medullary T-lymphocytes contain CA activity, which appears in these cells during their maturation in the thymus.
