Immunological phenomena occurring in the mucosa of the middle ear and Eustachian tube were investigated following tubal obstruction in squirrel monkeys which produced middle ear effusions. Although there are many variations among specimens, in general all classes of immunoglobulin producing plasma cells have shown an increase in number and/or an increase in intensity of fluorescence. IgG and IgA-producing plasma cells were more prominent than those producing other immunoglobulins. These findings support the concept that the middle ear and Eustachian tube in monkeys as in humans is protected by an immunodefense system.
在松鼠猴中，通过造成中耳积液的咽鼓管阻塞，研究了中耳和咽鼓管黏膜中发生的免疫现象。尽管不同标本之间存在许多差异，但总体而言，所有产生免疫球蛋白的浆细胞类别在数量上均有所增加和/或荧光强度有所增强。产生IgG和IgA的浆细胞比产生其他免疫球蛋白的浆细胞更为突出。这些发现支持了这样一种观念，即猴子的中耳和咽鼓管与人类一样，受到免疫防御系统的保护。
