"Nude rabbit" with aplasia of B-lymphoid structures.

Acta Univ Palacki Olomuc Fac Med

Institute of Immunology, Medical Faculty, Palacký University, Olomouc, Czechoslovakia.

Published: January 1995

An original observation of the randombred nude rabbit with aplasia of B-lymphoid structures (absence of the follicles in lymph nodes and spleen, no Peyer's plaques). The thymus gland and the T-dependent structures in the spleen and lymph nodes were-on the contrary-well preserved. The nude skin of this genetic rabbit mutant contained large numbers of hair follicles showing almost intrafollicular retention of hairs with their subsequent dysplasia at the subepidermal and ostiopilar level.
