Optical and Electron Microscope Studies of ‘Immunologically Competent Cells’ in Graft Reactions

Nature volume 193, pages 992–993 (1962)Cite this article

Abstract

THE lymph glands draining an allogenic graft contain pyroninophilic cells with deeply basophilic cytoplasm1, and it is usual to identify these with the cells found in lymphoid tissue after stimulation by a bacterial antigen2. Different authors have given them different names, including ‘hemocytoblast’3, but most agree on their final evolution into plasma cells.
