Abstract
The surface topology of the lymphocytes in human tonsils was performed by means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was revealed that human tonsils consist of both 40.7% villous and 26.6% smooth surface lymphocytes. In general, the percentage results agree with those of E and EAC binding lymphocytes of human tonsils, as previously reported. Our serial experiments using immunological techniques proved the existence of two types of lymphocytes (T and B cell) having immunological roles.Keywords
