摘要：

The purpose of this communication is to review briefly our work on the origin of tingible bodies in rat spleen germinal centers. These nuclear breakdown products have been of considerable interest to many observers. Heiberg (1923) suggested the germinal centers to be graveyards of lymphocytes. Cottier (1961), however, suggested on the basis of his experimental work that tingible bodies may originate from the breakdown of germinal center cells themselves. Our studies are in full support of this view and have been published in part previously ( Fliedner et al., 1962 and 1964).
