  • Title: Surface morphology of immunocompetent cells isolated from spleen of Bufo himalayanus (Günther).
    Author: Bhattacharjee K, Das SK.
    Journal: Indian J Exp Biol; 2008 Mar; 46(3):191-5. PubMed ID: 18432059.
    Abstract:
    Immunocompetent cells were isolated from spleen of B. himalayanus and studied surface morphology of the three different cell types--(i) plastic adherent; (ii) nylon wool adherent; and (iii) nylon wool non-adherent cells. As revealed by scanning electron microscopy, they resembled the macrophages, B and T cells, respectively. Presence of such cell types indicated that Bufo himalayanus possessed a well-organized immune system. Further work is needed to characterize the functional efficacy of these immunocompetent cells found in B. himalayanus.
