Antigen and Antibody Localization in Hassall's Corpuscles

Nature volume 215, pages 1073–1075 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

HASSALI's corpuscles in the guinea-pig thymus take up carbon1,2 and Evans blue3,4 from the circulation. In man, these corpuscles contain gamma globulin5–7. We therefore studied the localization in the thymus of albumin and globulin injected into the circulation by autoradiography and compared it with that in other lymphoid tissues.
