Effect of radon on dendritic cells of the central lymph and on process-forming bone marrow cells of rabbits

The phenotypic parameters of dendritic cells of the central lymph and of red marrow cells with processes in rabbits are compared using the light-optical and morphological methods and an original technique of lymph sampling. The effect of radon on the time course of the number of the above-mentioned cells is explored. Two major types of cells with processes are identified in the red marrow: cells with one process and cells with two or more processes. These cells and the corresponding types of dendritic cells of the central lymph are not identical, which does not rule out their common origin. the number of above-mentioned cells correlates with the activity of radon.
