Human Peyer's patches: an immunohistochemical study.
TLDR
The mantle zones of the B cell follicles in human Peyer's patches were surrounded by B cells which did not express surface IgD but which mostly expressed surface immunoglobulin of the IgM and/or IgA1 isotype, and cells expressing surface IgG or IgA2 were detected.Abstract:
We have used immunoperoxidase techniques to characterise the Peyer's patches in human terminal ileum. The mantle zones of the B cell follicles in human Peyer's patches were surrounded by B cells which did not express surface IgD but which mostly expressed surface immunoglobulin of the IgM and/or IgA1 isotype. Few cells expressing surface IgG or IgA2 were detected. Cells with cytoplasmic immunoglobulin of all isotypes except IgD were present in the dome regions of the Peyer's patches as well as in the lamina propria. There was little evidence of traffic of immunoglobulin synthesising cells across the high endothelial venules. T cells were seen to surround the lymphoid follicles. They were most concentrated on the serosal aspect around the high endothelial venules. Cells with macrophage-like morphology were present in both the lamina propria and the dome region of the follicles; those in the lamina propria containing lysozyme and those in the dome region S100 protein. The results are discussed in relation to the generation and dissemination of antibody producing cells in human gut.read more

TL;DR: It is concluded that gastric MALT is acquired in H pylori infection and that this provides the necessary background in which MALT lymphoma might develop.

TL;DR: In this paper their morphological features are reviewed; recent findings based on immunohistochemistry and DNA analysis are presented; and the biological behaviour of these tumours is discussed insofar as they offer insight into mucosal immunological mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify human lymphoid tissue-inducer cells (LTi cells) as lineage-negative RORC+ CD127+ cells with the functional ability to interact with mesenchymal cells through lymphotoxin and tumor necrosis factor.

Peyer's Patches: The Immune Sensors of the Intestine
TL;DR: The gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) consists of isolated or aggregated lymphoid follicles forming Peyer's patches (PPs), which can be considered as the immune sensors of the intestine by their ability to transport luminal antigens and bacteria.

Primary B cell lymphoma of the thyroid and its relationship to Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
TL;DR: This study confirms the close association between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and B cell lymphoma of the thyroid gland and suggests that this tumor belongs to the group of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas derived from MALT.

TL;DR: The early stages of absorption of intravenously injected horseradish peroxidase in proximal tubules of mouse kidney were studied with a new ultrastructural cytochemical technique, which gives sharp localization and is sensitive to protein transport.

Peyer's patches: an enriched source of precursors for iga-producing immunocytes in the rabbit
Susan W. Craig,John J. Cebra +1 more
TL;DR: Pyer's patches are a highly enriched source of cells which have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into IgA-producing immunocytes and are far more efficient in seeding the gut of irradiated recipient rabbits with donor cells that give rise to immunoglobulin-producing cells than cells from peripheral blood or popliteal lymph nodes.

TL;DR: The developments in macrophage biology over the past few years were not predicted till 1972, and Macrophages are definitely involved in some response to many of the conventional polyclonal stimuli.

TL;DR: Treatment of sections with trypsin prior to the use of the unlabelled antibody-enzyme method using PAP renders the technique reliable, provided the enzyme is used in a carefully controlled manner.
