Tasmanian devil lymphoid tissues (thymus, spleen, and lymph node) from seven animals, including pouch young, juvenile, and adult devils, were investigated using histological and immunohistochemical techniques. Antibodies against the conserved intracytoplasmic portion of CD3 and CD79b (T- and B-cell markers, respectively) and MHC II were used to label immune cells. The thymus from the juvenile devils and the pouch young had CD3+ cells that were primarily located in the medulla of the organ. The spleen consisted of red and white pulp areas with characteristic lymphoid follicles with CD79b+ and MHC II+ cells and nonfollicular T-cell-dominated periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths. Peripheral lymph nodes presented three distinct regions, outer cortex and medulla (both with primarily CD79b+ and MHC II+ cells) and paracortex (mainly CD3+ cells). Tissue architecture and distribution of the immune cells were similar to that seen in eutherian mammals and other marsupials, indicating that the Tasmanian devil has all the structural elements necessary for effective adaptive immunity.
使用组织学和免疫组织化学技术,对来自7只袋獾(包括育儿袋幼崽、幼年袋獾和成年袋獾)的淋巴组织(胸腺、脾脏和淋巴结)进行了研究。使用针对CD3和CD79b保守胞质部分的抗体(分别为T细胞和B细胞标志物)以及MHC II来标记免疫细胞。幼年袋獾和育儿袋幼崽的胸腺中有CD3 +细胞,主要位于器官的髓质。脾脏由红髓和白髓区域组成,具有特征性的淋巴滤泡,其中有CD79b +和MHC II +细胞以及非滤泡性T细胞主导的动脉周围淋巴鞘。外周淋巴结呈现三个不同区域,外层皮质和髓质(两者主要为CD79b +和MHC II +细胞)以及副皮质(主要为CD3 +细胞)。免疫细胞的组织结构和分布与真兽类哺乳动物和其他有袋动物相似,表明袋獾具有有效适应性免疫所需的所有结构要素。
