[Evidence for T cell activation in the tonsil].
The simultaneous autoradiography and the appearance of acid alpha-naphthylacetat esterase as a cytochemical T cell marker show that only in few T cells of the tonsil a DNA-synthesis takes place. Their labelling index is lower than a power of ten compared to B cells.
