Cellular composition of spleen and peritoneal exudate in mice after injection of cyclophosphamide-treated L 1210 leukemia cells

Folia Histochem Cytobiol. 1987;25(1):23-7.

Abstract

The composition of peritoneal exudate and spleen cells of CD2F1 mice after fourfold i.p. administration of L 1210 leukemia cells treated with cyclophosphamide (L 1210-CY cells) were examined. The number of cells in peritoneal cavity did not increase, however, the spleen weight rose after administration of L 1210-CY cells. The per cent of lymphocytes T was increased 2.5 times but the content of macrophages and lymphocytes B was normal in the peritoneal cavity after L 1210-CY cells injections. In the spleen an 1.4 times increase of the per cent of lymphocytes B, but normal level of macrophages and lymphocytes T were observed.
