Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a diagnostic method for the assessment of the lower respiratory airway health status in horses. Differential cell count and sometimes also total nucleated cell count (TNCC) are routinely measured by time-consuming manual m
Differential cell count and sometimes also total nucleated cell count (TNCC) are routinely measured by time-consuming manual methods, while faster automated methods exist. The aims of this study were to compare: 1) the Sysmex XN-V body fluid (BF) mode with the manua...
Cytokines are hormonelike peptides or intracellular signaling proteins released from white blood cells and all nucleated cells. They function by serving as chemical messengers within the immune system, and also communicate with certain cells in the nervous system. They have immune modulating effects, ...
Gorman ME, Villarroel A, Tornquist SJ, Flachsbart J, Warden A, Boeder L (2009) Comparison between manual and automated total nucleated cell counts using the ADVIA 120 for pleural and peritoneal fluid samples from dogs, cats, horses, and alpacas. Vet Clin Pathol 38:388–391...
As with programmed nucleated cell death or apoptosis, eryptosis is a coordinated suicidal death that ultimately eliminates defective cells without cell membrane rupture and release of intracellular material. It is considered a valuable mechanism to avoid a complication of hemolysis by initiating a ...
All the microbiological cultures and sonication fluid cultures were negative. The histological examination instead confirmed the diagnosis of ARMD, describing the presence of inflammatory tissue typical of a foreign body reaction with multinucleated cells, macrophages full of iron deposits, and histio-...
