Ag. Babaeva et al., MORPHOLOGICAL-CHARACTERISTICS OF LYMPHOCYTE-HEPATOCYTE CONTACTS IN VARIOUS PERIODS OF LIVER-REGENERATION IN MICE, Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 117(2), 1994, pp. 178-181
The histo- and ultrastructure of regenerating murine liver is studied
after excision of 2/3 of its tissue. Counts of leukocytes and lymphocy
tes are found to be increased in the intertrabecular spaces after the
operation. Lymphocytes come in close contact with hepatocytes and reti
culoendotheliocytes forming microtunnels at the sites of contact.
