It was established in experimnts on dogs that in transplantation of the pancreas and in chronic pancreatitis there is a reaction of lymphoid follicles of the intestine similar to that of the peripheral organs of immunity. Microerosions of the mucous membrane and lesion of the enterocytic ultrastructures bear a compensatory-adaptive character and reflect a nonspecific component of immune homeostasis.
