Lymphoid cells of the normal man intestinal mucosa possessing both kappa and lambda light chain specifities.
The presence of lymphoid cells possessing both kappa and lambda specificities has been observed in the intestinal mucosa of normal subjects. The variability in the number of such cells in different sections of the same sample and in different subjects seems to be a characteristic of this cell population and may reflect the high activity of the immune system in the gut.
