Abstract
WE recently described a permeability factor (or factors) extracted from lymph node cells of mice, rats and guinea-pigs1. This factor has been shown to be active in increasing vascular permeability, causing emigration of leucocytes2 and bringing about the deposition of a material closely resembling connective tissue fibrinoid3. It has been suggested that this material might be responsible for delayed hypersensitivity reactions in rats and guinea-pigs4,5. The present investigation was undertaken to determine whether a similar factor (or factors) was present in human lymphoid tissues.
