Description
Summary:<b>Aim:</b> This study was carried out to determine the localization of the asid phosphatase (ACP-ase)-positive lymphocytes in hemal nodes of Turkish Merino ram.<p> <b>Materials and Methods:</b> For this purpose, tissue samples from hemal nodes of six 2-year-old-aged Turkish Merino rams were used. In frozen sections, ACP-ase was demonstrated.<p> <b>Results:</b> The results showed that ACP-ase-positive lymphocytes localized especially in the germinal centers of the secondary lymphatic nodules. A few ACP-ase-positive lymphocytes were observed in primary follicles, interfollicular area and lymphatic cords.<p> <b>Conclusion:</b> It was concluded that the further experimental studies should be performed on hemal nodes of ruminants.
