摘要：

The lymphoepithelium covering the bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) of the rabbit lung was studied with monoclonal antibodies against vimentin, using the indirect immunoperoxidase technique. In the lymphoepithelium single cells which had a membranous apical cytoplasm and engulfed intraepithelial lymphocytes were vimentin-immunoreactive. All other epithelial cells of the lymphoepithelium and of the surrounding airway epithelium did not bind vimentin antibodies. The results support the hypothesis that the membranous epithelial cells in the lymphoepithelium of rabbit BALT are analogous with intestinal M-cells, which in rabbit Peyer's patches and appendix are selectively labelled by vimentin antibodies.
