title: [Histological study of the lymph nodes of cattle, before and after antigenic stimulation. 2. Immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy].
abstract: A histological and cytological study of stimulated and non-stimulated bovine lymph nodes was performed using immunocytochemistry and electron-microscopic techniques. Immunohistochemical staining using polyclonal antibodies revealed cytoplasmic immunoglobulins producing lymphoid cells. A protein S100 specific serum evidenced antigen presenting cells, macrophages and endothelial cells. In order to identify T lymphocytes, two monoclonal antibodies (M1 and M12) were used. The electron-microscopic study confirmed the localization and identification of different lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells of the lymph node. The techniques used in the present work seem to be suitable for investigating bovine lymph nodes and those with pathologic alterations.
