The physiology and immunology of the pharyngeal lymphoid tissue
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America
|May 1, 1987
Abstract:
The immunologic structure and function of the parapharyngeal lymphoid tissue are presented. The antigen-processing activities of the tonsils are compared to those of the adenoids and other mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues. Both immunoglobin synthesis and secretion as well as T-lymphocyte activities are described.
