No significant differences were found between hyperplastic tonsillitis and recurrent tonsillitis in the intensity of cell-mediated immune response of tonsillar T cells, the ratio of T cell subsets, the ratio of Tac-positive cells, and the stimulation index determined after incubation in the presence of TCGF alone. However, the proportion of the cells in phase S+G2+M, the ratio of OKT9-positive cells to total tonsillar lymphocytes, and the amount of polyamines (especially putrescine) were greater in hypertrophied tonsils than in the tonsils with recurrent tonsillitis. Some characteristics of recurrent tonsillitis are discussed from these differences. Comparison of tonsillar lymphocytes from children vs. adults produced similar results. The proportion of cells in phase S+G2+M, the ratio of OKT9, and the amount of polyamines were greater in tonsils of children. In addition, differences in the function of tonsillar and peripheral lymphocytes from the patient are also discussed.
在仅存在TCGF的情况下孵育后测定的扁桃体T细胞的细胞介导免疫反应强度、T细胞亚群比例、Tac阳性细胞比例和刺激指数方面，增生性扁桃体炎和复发性扁桃体炎之间未发现显著差异。然而，肥大扁桃体中S+G2+M期细胞的比例、OKT9阳性细胞与扁桃体淋巴细胞总数的比例以及多胺（尤其是腐胺）的含量高于复发性扁桃体炎的扁桃体。从这些差异出发讨论了复发性扁桃体炎的一些特征。儿童与成人扁桃体淋巴细胞的比较产生了相似的结果。儿童扁桃体中S+G2+M期细胞的比例、OKT9比例和多胺含量更高。此外，还讨论了患者扁桃体淋巴细胞与外周淋巴细胞功能的差异。
