Further Investigations Into the Immunological Role of Tonsils

Abstract
The production of antibody by tonsils has been demonstrated previously by tissue culture technique after subcutaneous antigen administration. In the present study the immunological role of tonsils was investigated by two immuno-morphological methods. 1. The specific antibody producing cells were studied in tonsillar tissue after subcutaneous administration of antigen. 2. Antigen reception was studied after application of antigen to the epithelial layer of tonsils.
