ABSTRACT: This study analyzed clinical and cyto-histomorphological parameters of the ocular surface Shih Tzu dogs, non-carriers carriers quantitative keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) at different stages. Thirty-five eyes from 23 male female dogs between two eight years were evaluated in four groups: control group (CG - without KCS), mild KCS (KCS1), moderate (KCS2), severe (KCS3). Most variable...

Conjunctivochalasis (CCh) is a condition characterized by redundant, loose, and non- edematous conjunctival folds that often located in inferior bulbar conjunctiva. CCh asymptomatic but also can cause many symptoms. The symptoms of are connected to delayed tear clearance or film instability. CCH overlooked clinical practice; therefore, it important recognize this differentiate from chronic eye ...

The virus plaque assay has been developed as a tool for enumerating activated lymphocytes. In previous studies using mitogens it was found that the assay detects activated Tbut not activated B-lymphocytes. In the present studies, the mixed lymphocyte reaction was studied by the virus plaque assay as well as by incorporation of thymidine and development of cytotoxic lymphocytes. In combinations ...
