MORPHOFUNCTIONAL ESTIMATION OF IMMUNE FUNCTION OF LYMPH NODE OF OLD AGE IN THE CONDITIONS OF PHYTOTHERAPY

Abstract

The morphofunctional estimation of the immune status of a lymph node of animals of old. age is spent in experiment. Data has shown decrease in immune function of the lymph node because of a fibrosis process of cells depletion of paracortex structure in the conditions of a lymphopoiesis reduction. The ageing strengthens the cellular immunity that is characterized by increase in paracortex size at preservation of a parity of lymphoid nodules with the germinative centre and without the germinative centre. The phytotherapy strengthens proliferative processes accompanied by increase of number of cells in lymphoid nodules, stimulates of macrophage reaction and increases number of plasmablasts in all structurally and functional zones of a lymph node of animals of old age. There is a formation of the immune answer on the mixed type in the conditions of phytotherapy. The result has practical importance for use of the immunefocused phytotherapy in programs of endoecological rehabilitations taking into account the age factor
