In an electron microscopy study of lymph nodes from syphilitic rabbits plasmablasts and plasma cells were unequivocally identified in germinal centres. Up to 20% of the plasma cells possessed unusual cytological features. Paracortical hypoplasia was shown to be associated with actively phagocytic histiocytes. These findings may reflect morphological correlates of the aberrant immune regulation which has been observed in infection with Treponema pallidum.
在一项对梅毒兔淋巴结的电子显微镜研究中，在生发中心明确鉴定出了成浆细胞和浆细胞。高达20%的浆细胞具有异常的细胞学特征。副皮质发育不全被证明与活跃吞噬的组织细胞有关。这些发现可能反映了在梅毒螺旋体感染中观察到的异常免疫调节的形态学关联。
