Experiments, pursuing after the ultrastructure of immature reticulum cells, lymphocytes and plasma cells often occured together in lymphatic tissues after antigenic stimulations, were performed and clarified their relationship and origin among them. Immature forms of both lymphocytes and plasma cells show morphologic similarities which seems to derive from same origin. And so they both should be called by the common name of "Immunoblast". However, they vary each to some extent. Immature plasma cells have tendencies to increased numbers of rER and to large mitochondria in accordance with elevated globulin synthesis, and its proliferation is appeared in the medullary pulp and cortical tissue close to the sinus, where antigenic content is very high. Vigorous proliferation of plasma cells in lymphnodes depends on the cell division of plasmoblast, preplasmocytes and plasma cells.
