Abstract
子宮蓄膿症罹患犬(3例)の末梢血および健康なビーグル犬(5例)から好中球を分離し,それぞれ培養後,アポトーシスの経時的推移をTUNEL(TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling)法により解析した。24時間培養後,好中球のアポトーシス率は健康犬群では54.3±7%,子宮蓄膿症群では26.4±5%であった。子宮蓄膿症罹患犬の好中球のアポトーシスは健常犬のそれに比べ,低下しており,寿命が延長していることが明らかになった。
Polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) apoptosis was examined in three dogs with pyometra by TUNEL assay in a 24-hr incubation period and compared with that in healthy control dogs (n=5). The incidence of apoptotic PMNs in dogs with pyometra was 26.4±5% and that in healthy dogs was 54.3±7%. The results indicated that apoptotic PMN rates in dogs with pyometra were significantly lower than those in control dogs (p<0.05), suggesting the prolongation of PMN survival.
