The nasopharyngeal and palatine tonsil, two lymphoepithelial structures situated at the entrance of respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, show striking similarity with lymphoid tissue of bronchus and gut (BALT, GALT). The information obtained by previous investigations in our laboratory on M-cells in the lymphoepithelium of the Peyer's patches (PP) served as a guidance in our search for M-cells in adenoids and tonsils.
鼻咽扁桃体和腭扁桃体是位于呼吸道和胃肠道入口处的两个淋巴上皮结构，与支气管和肠道的淋巴组织（支气管相关淋巴组织、肠道相关淋巴组织）有显著相似性。我们实验室之前对派尔集合淋巴结（PP）淋巴上皮中M细胞的研究所得信息，为我们在腺样体和扁桃体中寻找M细胞提供了指导。
