Abstract
Morphometric investigations of the Harderian gland in normal and bursectomized chickens at the 16th, 30th, and 60th day after hatching, show a significant suppressive effect of bursectomy on the volume of the plasma cell compartment in this organ. However, the suppression of the plasma cell population in the Harderian gland is not complete. The plasma cells remaining in the Harderian gland after bursectomy are probably components of a bursa-independent B cell population.
Morphometrische Untersuchungen an der Harderschen Drüse normaler und bursektomierter Hühnchen am 16., 30. und 60. Lebenstag zeigen einen signifikanten suppressiven Effekt der Bursektomie auf den Plasmazellgehalt dieses Organs. Die Unterdrückung der Plasmazell-Population in der Harderschen Drüse ist allerdings nicht total. Die nach der Bursektomie in der Harderschen Drüse verbliebenen Plasmazellen sind wahrscheinlich Bestandteile einer bursaunabhängigen B-Zell-Population.
