We analysed subsets of tonsillar lymphocytes and activated cells in each subset by two-color flow cytometry. There were many helper T cells (CD 4+ leu 8-) and few inducer T cells (CD 4+ leu 8+) in the tonsil. The situation was the reverse in the peripheral blood. The tonsil had few suppressor T cells (CD 8+ CD 11+). The proportion of activated cells (HLA-DR+) was low in the peripheral blood and high in the tonsil. In the tonsil, the ratio of cells with transferrin receptors to total lymphocytes was higher in the B than in the T subset, and higher in the subset of CD 4+ than in that of CD 8+ cells. Activated and proliferating lymphocytes were more abundant in the tonsils of children than in those of adults and more abundant in patients with hyperplastic tonsillitis than in those with recurrent tonsillitis.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D014069 Tonsillitis Inflammation of the tonsils, especially the PALATINE TONSILS but the ADENOIDS (pharyngeal tonsils) and lingual tonsils may also be involved. Tonsillitis usually is caused by bacterial infection. Tonsillitis may be acute, chronic, or recurrent. Tonsillitides
