| Summary: | <b>Aim: </b> This study was performed to determine the histologic
structure and localization of the alpha-naphthyl acetate
esterase (ANAE)-and acid phosphatase (ACP-ase) positive
lymphocytes in hemal nodes of Kyrgyzstan's mountain Yaks
(Bos grinniens). <p>
<b>Materials and Methods: </b> For this purpose, tissue samples
from hemal nodes of six, 2–4 year-old-aged Kyrgyzstan's
mountain Yaks were used. After processing, tissue sections
were taken and stained with Crossmon's trichrome stain. In
frozen sections, alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) and
acid phosphatase (ACP-ase) were demonstrated. <p>
<b>Results: </b> The results showed that the hemal nodes were
surrounded by a highly thick connective tissue capsule involving
smooth muscle fibers and had a very large sinus
system compromised by subcapsular and deep sinuses
filled with blood. Cortical and medullar regions were not
definite. Lymphatic nodules and cords were observed in
the deeper region of hemal nodes. ANAE- and ACP-ase positive
lymphocytes localized especially in the margin of the
lymphatic nodules and also interfollicular areas. <p>
<b>Conclusions: </b> Yaks are very important animals for Krygyzstan
economi as food source because they provide milk, milk products,
meat, and meat products. Besides, yaks can survive
and adaptable to the highly extreme ecological conditions
such as high altitude, very low annual average temperature,
short growing season for calf, and great seasonal variation in
feed supply. So it is thought that extensive research regarding
this species must be planned. |
