Effect of intratracheal injection of mica dust on the lymph nodes of guinea pigs. 1975

R Shanker, and A P Sahu, and R K Dogra, and S H Zaidi

Histopathological changes in the tracheo-bronchial lymph nodes were studied up to 365 days in guinea pigs following intratracheal injection of a suspension of mica dust. In general, the cytotoxic effect provoked by dust was not pronounced as the majority of the swollen dust-laden macrophages retained their normal structure at the termination of the experiment and fibrotic lesions were limited to the formation of thick reticulin fibers. The poor fibrogenic response of mica dust has been attributed to its low cytotoxicity.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
