Abstract
Immunoglobulin G, A and M contents of homogenized tonsillar lymphocytes were measured. Higher Ig values were found in adults than in children. Inflammatory processes increased the immunoglobulin levels of tonsillar lymphocytes. The changes in tonsillar IgG and IgA levels suggest the importance of local immunoglobulin production in the defence mechanism of tonsils. Two isolated IgA deficiencies were detected among the 85 patients.Entities:
