Research Abstract |
Siglec-2 is expressed in large amounts in B-cell areas of the lymphoid follicles in the tonsils, and its expression is particularly strong in the mantle zone, which is the area of accumulation of relatively small lymphocytes similar to those found in the epithelial side. Further, Siglec-6 has been shown to be expressed in the mast cells in the connective tissue and T -cell areas, namely, in the interfollicular region; however, the expression levels differed depending on the sample. The expression levels of Siglec-2 and Siglec-6 in mast cells and B cells in focal tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis, and tonsillar hypertrophy were analyzed and compared, but no apparent significant difference was found.
