The Rabbit Appendix: A Central or Peripheral Lymphoid Organ?

  • Chapter
Morphological and Functional Aspects of Immunity

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 12))

Abstract

Recent experiments (Miller) (1) indicate the antibody-forming-cell-precursor (AFCP) in mice to be BM derived. On the other hand Good and coworkers demonstrated that in the chicken the Bursa of Fabricius is essential in the development of the antibody forming capacity. In the rabbit the gut-associated lymphoid tissue like Peyer’s patches etc. should represent the Bursa-aequivalent (2). Fichtelius (3) claims the intimate relationship between epithelium and lymphoid tissue to be essential for its functioning as a first level lymphoid organ.
