lypmh nudes changes in mice in response to schistosomal infection

ABSTRACT

White albino mice were infected with circa ria of Schistosoma Mansoni. The mesenteric lymph nodes were examined both histologically and histo chemically for demonstration of cytoplasmic RNA granules using methyl green pyronin, as well as for some enzymes namely succinic dehydrogenase, alpha esterase and acid phosphatase. The histopathological changes suggested an immunological reaction. The histochemical examination revealed an increased activity of succinic dehydrogenase, alpha esterase and acid phosphatase enzymes suggesting that they are evolved in these immunological reactions
