A study is made of the structure of lymph nodes removed at autopsy and at the time of surgery from patients with non-neoplastic diseases. The lymph node structure is evaluated by means of H&E and ammoniacal silver staining. A variety of recognizable patterns are identified and designated as: control, non-immune phagocytosis, recognition, reactive, immune SH and degenerative syncytial histiocytosis. The findings are discussed in terms of antigen-induced reactivity and antibody synthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
