[Lymphoid tissue of the human vermiform appendix and its cellular composition at different ages].
The lymphoid tissue of 55 human appendices has been studied beginning from 25 weeks of the intrauterine development up to 80 years of age. Most of lymphocytes have been found to include immunoglobulines of various types; in some cases alcaline phosphatase activity was evident in lymphocytes of the mantle zone of lymphatic follicles in children and grown-up persons, and lack of acidic phosphatase activity in lymphocytes make it possible to consider the appendicular lymphoid tissue as a B-dependent type of lymphoid tissue. A suggestion is made that during the intrauterine development and the early childhood the appendicular lymphocytes could settle in other lymphoid formations.
