A PRELIMINARY NOTE ON THE COMPOSITION OF LYMPHOCYTES IN HUMAN PERIPHERAL LYMPH

T Godal, A Engeset

Abstract


Pilot experiments on the composition of lymphocytes

in human peripheral lymph, mainly from healthy

human volunteers, are presented. The experiments

undertaken so far show a reduced proportion of B

cells and an increased proportion of "Ia" positive

lymphocytes in peripheral lymph as compared to

peripheral blood. If confirmed, these data would suggest

that lymphocyte circulation through extravascular

subcutaneous tissues is a highly selective process.
