Divergence of cortisol-induced involution of T and B cell areas in mouse lymph nodes and spleen. A histomorphometrical, enzyme-histochemical, and immunohistochemical study.
The present functional and morphological studies strongly favour the concept that systemic immunosuppression with corticosteroids evokes differential, but not necessarily independent, lymph node and splenic responses.
