Gene context of Tonsillitis

  • ENA-78 does not seem to play a pivotal role in tonsillitis in vivo [24].
  • No significant differences were observed when comparing the frequency of IFN-gamma-producing cells between cell suspensions obtained from hyperplastic and tonsillitis specimens [25].
  • In tissue sections from tonsils in a resting stage after recurrent tonsillitis we observed cells producing IL-1 alpha and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) which were exclusively localized in the mantle zone of the follicle and in the extrafollicular area [26].
  • Effect of tonsillectomy on serum concentrations of interleukins and TNF-alpha in patients with chronic tonsillitis [27].
  • Activation by S. pyogenes A bacteria gave rise to higher frequencies of IFN-gamma- and TNF-beta-synthesizing cells in the recurrent tonsillitis group [28].
