  • Title: [The types of macrophages in the central lymph of rabbits during the use of radon baths].
    Author: Kuznetsov AV.
    Journal: Morfologiia; 1995; 108(1):44-5. PubMed ID: 7550914.
    Abstract:
    Three types of macrophages circulating in central lymph were revealed by original method of lymph getting from rabbits. Type I has common morphological properties, type II and III are described in central lymph for the first time. Processes and protrusion are present in these types. Macrophages with processes are called by the author dendritic macrophages. They get into contact with lymphocytes. Type II and III macrophages number increases after radon balneotreatment in proportion with radon content, which is connected with radon effect on the skin receptor area, where intraepithelial macrophages are located. The latter are the precursors of dendritic cells of the other types and are the main antigen-presenting cells in the initial phase of the immune response.
