Influence of the Estrous Cycle on the Presence and Distribution of Immune Cells in the Rat Reproductive Tract
Abstract
PROBLEM: Previous studies have shown that the uterus and vagina contain cells that can present antigen to ovalbumin-specific T-cells. The objective of the present study was to systematically characterize the immune cells [major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-II+, macrophages, granulocytes, dendritic cells, and CD8+ cells] present in the uterus and vagina of the rat and to examine their distribution at various stages of the estrous …
