[Appearance of nuclear formations of the "drumstick" type in neutrophilic leukocytes under the influence of neonatal thymectomy in male-rats].
The morphology of nuclei of neutrophil luecocytes was studied in neonatally thymectomized Wistar rats. In thymectomized males, the number of neutrophils with "drumsticks" increased up to 5.9 for 500 neutrophils counted, whereas no such changes were observed in females. The contents of "drumsticks" in neutrophils of the intact Wistar rats was shown to be equal in males and females therefore unfitting for sex identification. The neonatal thymectomy did not influence and absolute quantity of neutrophils but led to a greater segmentation index of the nucleus.
