[Functional lymph node diagnosis].
This short review focuses on recent developments in the field of functional morphology of peripheral lymphoid tissues, in particular of lymph nodes. Emphasis is given to cellular and histological characteristics of lymph nodes in the course of cell-mediated and humoral immune responses. Against the background of regional and age-related changes, selected examples of a functional interpretation of structural changes are presented.
