Morphofunctional characteristics of antigen-presenting cells in lymph node in mice with experimental West Nile fever.
Pronounced transformation of cells in mesenteric lymph nodes, mainly in the thymus-independent zone and sinuses, was detected in albino mice experimentally infected with West Nile fever (strain 986). Maximum antigen-presenting activity was exhibited by activated macrophages, minimum activity--by dendritic cells of lymphoid follicles.
