Hypertrophy of Pharyngeal Lymphoid Tissue

A reservoir of Moraxella catarrhalis in human pharyngeal lymphoid tissue.

BACKGROUND Early exposure of infants and long-term immunity suggest that colonization with Moraxella catarrhalis is more frequent than is determined by routine culture. We characterized a reservoir of M. catarrhalis in pharyngeal lymphoid tissue. METHODS Tissue from 40 patients (median age, 7.1 years) undergoing elective tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy was analyzed for the presence of M. c...

Tumours of Lymphoid Tissue

TUMOURS of Iymphoid tissue can provide some of the most difficult problems in diagnosis for the surgical pathologist. The difficulty is often not only classification but the recognition of tumours from the varied responses of lymphoid tissue to various disease stimu,li. Many pathologists will, therefore, welcome a monograph, which is based on a review of 410 cases seen at the Westminster Hospit...

Tertiary lymphoid tissue

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes influence colorectal cancer progression. We have recently documented that tertiary lymphoid tissue in the colorectal cancer microenvironment orchestrates lymphocyte infiltration and that tertiary lymphoid tissue and lymphocytes cooperate in a coordinated antitumor immune response to improve patient outcome. Thus, tertiary lymphoid tissue represents a potential tar...

Secondary Lymphoid Tissue Chemokine

Lymphoid tissue inducer cells

A model for other countries? Politicians and concerned citizens in other countries will observe Germany’s movements closely, as it is the first example of a high technology country turning its back on nuclear energy after using it for more than half a century. Around the world, many old and new users of nuclear reactors are sticking to their plans and policies, only adding a safety inspection h...
