"Sympathectomy is a technique about which we have limited knowledge, applied to disorders about which we have little understanding."

Immunoglobulin producing cells in the rat dental pulp after unilateral sympathectomy.
Sympathectomy results in recruitment of cells expressing κ and λ light chains into the dental pulp (P=0.005). Electron microscopy revealed these cells to be mainly plasma cells and Mott cells. We conclude that neural imbalance caused by unilateral sympathectomy recruits immunoglobulin producing cells in the dental pulp. Our results are in agreement with a model of immune regulation in which the sympathetic nervous system exerts a tonic regulatory effect over lymphocyte proliferation and migration.
