title: [Lymphocyte sub-populations and immunoglobulin concentrations in palatine and fancial tonsils (author's transl)].
abstract: The number of B- and T-lymphocytes as well as the cytological composition and concentrations of IgG, IgM, and IgA are compared in children's palatine and fancial tonsils. The B-lymphocytes prevail in both organs. IgG is the main immunoglobulin and IgM and IgA follow in their concentrations. No significant differences between palatine and fancial tonsils were detectable at all investigated parameters. Evidence as to the biological equivalence of the organs is disclosed.
