backgrounds: seminoma is frequently observed in human and canine testes especially in cryptorchids. canine and human seminomas are typically associated with leukocytic infiltration. objectives: we aimed to identify the type of lymphocytes that infiltrate to seminomas. methods: tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were evaluated by immunohistological techniques in 5 dogs with diffuse seminoma. routine...

Ten commercially available rabbit polyclonal anti-NOS antibodies were tested for their immunohistological applicability in normal human, guinea pig, rat, and mouse organs. Most antibodies reacted as expected and described in the literature with various tissues of the investigated species. Several antibodies did not react with the expected cell populations in a certain species, or reacted in pre...

The immunohistological reactivity of six retinoblastomas was investigated by means of 18 monoclonal antibodies and compared with that of adult and fetal retina. The antigenic profiles were found to be characteristic for each cell type studied and indicated that a panel of monoclonal antibodies could achieve a specific immunolocalisation not afforded by any single antibody. Immunohistological co...

PURPOSE To investigate conjunctiva-associated lymphoid tissue (CALT) in mouse conjunctiva. METHOD We examined normal mice, ranging in age from 4 to 6 weeks, to investigate the presence of follicular tissue histologically. Next, we treated mice by topical instillation of ovalbumin and cholera toxin B, and then examined conjunctival follicles by immunohistological methods. RESULTS Follicular ...
