A Histochemical and Immunohistochemical Study on Glandula Mandibularis Mast Cells in Angora Goat

Mast cells are particularly in association with structures, especially the skin, respiratory, and digestive systems proximity to surfaces that interface external environment. This study was carry out demonstrate distribution heterogeneity of mast Angora goat glandula mandibularis by using morphological, histochemical, immunohistochemical methods. A total seven healthy male adult goats' mandibular glands were studied. distinctly distinguished their metachromatic staining preparates stained toluidine blue. The observed various sizes shapes, round, oval, elongate-shaped. seen both intralobular interlobular interstitium mandibularis. Many interstitium, around blood vessels. Alcian-blue/Safranin O combined method used determine cell heterogeneity. In mandibularis, blue-colored alcian-blue (AB) (+) pink-red colored safranin (SO) subtypes observed. Chymase positive usually one interstitium. As a result, gland which is local species examined; morphology, locations, cells, chymase expression specified.
