Lymphoid tissue and cyclical endometrium.

The binding of peroxidase-labelled lectins to human endometrium in normal cyclical endometrium and endometrial adenocarcinoma.

The nature of endometrial glycoconjugates throughout the menstrual cycle was investigated using a panel of lectins directed against specific sugar groups. This approach was also applied to a series of endometrial adenocarcinomas the findings for which were compared with those of normal controls. A change in the expression of glycosubstances was found in relation to the phase of the menstrual cy...

Lymphoid tissue and gastric lymphomas

Lymphatics, Lymph and Lymphoid Tissue

In the introductory chapter of this book it is explained that in the lower vertebrates there are lymphatic vessels but no lymph nodes; the lymphoid tissue in fish and amphibia is associated with myeloid tissue in such organs as the intestines, kidney, and liver. Lymph nodes first appear in certain birds, but it is only in mammals that they are invariably present. However, even in mammals, where...

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...
