    Abstract:
    The cell population of normal human lymphnode was studied by a histochemical technique showing alpha-naphthyl-acetate-esterasic activity. Two distinct cell populations were evidenced: a) macrophagic cells, bearing a diffused ANAE cytoplasmic positivity, most of which were in the subcapsular area, whereas a minority of them was found within the lymphatic nodules and the paracortical area; b) lymphocytic cells, bearing on ANAE positive cytoplasmic spot, most of which were in the paracortical area, whereas a minority of them was found within the lymphatic nodules. A discussion of the results we got, as compared with those which are reported by literature, confirms what is already well-known about the cell colonization of the various areas in the lymphnode. Besides it gives a chance to identify lymphocytes bearing an ANAE positive cytoplasmic spot with T lymphocytes belonging to the "helper-inducer" subclass.
