PECULIARITIES OF THE LYMPHATIC VESSELS DISTRIBUTION IN NORMAL AND AFFECTED ORAL MUCOSA
Abstract:
The immunohistochemical staining is employed the D2-40 antibody in visualizing the lymphatic vessels in prepared tissue sections taken from various parts of the fixed or free (jugular, gingival, papillary, labial) oral mucosa. The lymphatic vessels form rich terminal networks in the superficial structures and in the subepithelium of the oral mucosa. The specific features of the lymphatic networks in both the normal and affected oral mucosa can help the research of the role played by the lymphatic system in a series of mucosal, periodontal or potentially malign conditions.
