CELL FACTORS'' CONDITION OF LOCAL IMMUNITY OF VAGINAS MUCOSA IN CATS
The state of cellular factors of local immunity of the mucous membrane of the cats vagina was studied in this work. The study identified cytogram condition and antimicrobial potential of Oxygen-dependent phagocytic mechanisms of protection. It was stated that cytological composition of the vaginal mucosa was presented by epithelial cells and phagocytes. Horny basal, parabasal, intermediate and superfitial epitheliocytes and neutrophil granulocytes were dominating in specimens in the interestrus period. Segmentonuclear microphagal cells with clear core fine cytoplasm were identified in specimens. Phagocytic cells with signs of physiological aging (apoptosis) were seen in various fields. The intensity of the antimicrobial potential of Oxygen-dependent mechanisms of cytochemical reaction with nitroblue tetrazolium while located on the first and second levels of reactivity, which is one of the criteria in the evaluation parameters of homeostasis cellular link of local immunity.
