A morphologic study of rabbit bronchial lymphoid aggregates and lymphoepithelium.
Abstract
Ultrastructural studies of the rabbit bronchial mucosa were performed with scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The former revealed that the bronchus-associated lymphoid aggregates could be distinguished from the surrounding tissue, since they were covered with epithelial cells possessing microvilli but not cilia. These lymphoepithelial cells were irregularly placed and provided crevices of varying dimensions at their junctions with …
