1. Weldeyer’s ring
2. Lymphoid compartments of palatine tonsil
3. Immunology process in palatine tonsil
4. Immunopathological aspect of palatine tonsil
• Tonsilitis and tonsilectomy
1. Nasopharyngeal tonsil (NT) OR adenoid
2. Tubal tonsils (TT)
3. Palatine tonsils (PT)
4. Lingual tonsils (LT)
entrance to the digestive & respiratory tracts
Immunological role:early recognition of antigen
initiation of an immune response.
Play a role in the immune function
1. Reticular crypt of epithelium
2. The extrafolicular area
3. The mantle zone of lymphoid
follicles
4. The follicular germinal centres

SSE: stratified squamous epithel, CT: connective tissue, LN: lymphatic nodule
Each tonsil contains 10 – 30 branched crypts Enlarge the surface up to 300 cm2 increase the surface for Ag contact
1. Transportation of antigen by M cells or dendritic cells (DC) to the extrafollicular areas
2. Activation of T cells in the extrafollicular areaAPC: Interdigitating DC

lymphatic
Only few immunocompetent cells are available in normal tonsil
Lymphocytes migrate continuously from the blood to tonsils
3. Stimulation of naïve B cells in the extrafollicular zones by activated T cells Colonize the primary lymphoid follicles Act as “founder cells” for Germinal centres (GC)
4. Clonal expansion of B cells
5. Somatic hypermutaion in B cell Ig V region
genes
6. Positive selection of B cells that are able to receive Ag specific signals by high affinity
7. Differentiation to B memory cells and plasma cells of various immunoglobulins
J chain is needed for the formation of sIgA and sIgM Termination of effector B cells:
Regional secretory effector sites (upper aerodigestive tract)
As extrafollicular plasma cells Join the systemic immune
DOGMA:Decreased J-chain expression by
tonsilar B cells reduce sIg A levels in saliva
Age (years)
In children Reduce the level of IgA antibody to poliovirus
3-4 times in the nasopharyngeal secretions Delay the local immune response to
subsequent live oral polio vaccine Decrease serum Ig and salivary IgA for up to
3-4 yrs

Children 3 – 14 years old with tonsil & adenoid hypertrophy, measure of local and blod Ig A, Ig G, Ig M

Case : chronic tonsilitis, healthy children as control Measured count of blood B and T lymphocytes, Ig
G, Ig A, Ig M. Before tonsilectomy : B cells, Ig G, Ig A, Ig M. >
control After tonsilectony :
B cells : normal T cells : increase Ig G, Ig A and Ig M < before tonsilectomy Ig G, Ig A and Ig M = control

In young adultsA slight reduction of total IgM and salivary IgG antibodies to Streptococcus mutans and EBV
Kritila et al., Clin Immunol 1996: 80: 110-5
In severe case in children: Reduce the number of episodes of sore
throat Reduce the days with sore throat
In less severely affected children: The impact is minimal
some children get better without any surgery
