[Apoptosis lymphocytes T and B in adenoid].
Apoptosis is a physiological form of cell death, which plays an important role in embryogenesis, cellular homeostasis, tissue atrophy and removal of tumor and mutated cells. Apoptosis of T and B lymphocytes is a fundamental process regulating antigen receptor selection during T cell maturation and homeostasis of the immune system. It also plays a key role in elimination of autoreactive lymphocytes. There are two major signaling pathways of apoptosis: the death receptor pathway and intrinsic pathway the mitochondrial pathway.
