title: [Concentration of RNA, DNA and protein in the human tonsil as a parameter for the discrimination of their function (author's transl)].
abstract: We have studied at 200 tonsils the tissue concentration and the organ content of RNA, DNA and protein. The results are used for the objective discrimination of different clinical states. It could be shown that the time of the maximal physiological activity reaches to the age of 20 years. Our results may be used as directions for the indication of the tonsilectomy.
