“…The plasma cells were more numerous in the common pheasant compare with the hybrid. Consistent with the study of Khan et al (2007), the plasma cells in the examined birds were located in the interstitial space, interacinar space, apical part of the lobule, and lumina of the lobules of the HG.…”

“…Ohishima et al (2002) made various observations concerning the proportions of plasma cells. Differences in HG plasma cell numbers between broilers and native chickens were reported by Khan et al (2007). The epithelial cells of the HG ducts play the crucial role in secretion of Ig by plasma cells.…”

“…This strongly suggests that the B cells of the bursa migrate through the HG interstitial cells via blood circulation. These B cells further differentiate into plasma cells and move to the apical parts of the lobules, producing Ig that are released into the duct system (Khan et al, 2007). In the HG of the common pheasant, the plasma cells were densely located in the central part of lobes, where relatively lower number of ducts were also observed.…”

“…The HG produces lacrimal fluid; hence, the main function of this gland is to lubricate the surface of the eyeball and third eyelid (Baba et al, 1990). This gland is also as a source of pheromones and growth factors (Frahmand & Mohammadpour, 2015;Khan et al, 2007;Kozlu & Altunay, 2011;Klećkowska-Nawrot et al, 2015). Furthermore in birds, the HG is a lymphoepithelial organ which, together with the spleen, the bursa of Fabricius, and the caecal tonsils, belongs to a system of avian organs that determines both general and local immunity (Khan et al, 2007;Nasrin et al, 2013).…”

The gland is a site of activation and terminal differentiation of B-cells, as well as plasma cell proliferation (Khan et al, 2011;Koskela et al, 2003;Savage et al, 1992;Scott et al, 1993;Tsuji et al, 1993).…”

Harderian gland, histology, histochemistry, common pheasant, hybrid of Italian amber and common pheasant. ABStRACtThe aim of the present study was to demonstrate the histological and histochemical structure of the Harderian gland in wild and hybrid of wild and domestic birds. The samples were stained with haematoxylin-eosin, methyl green-pyronin Y, periodic acid-Schiff, alcian blue pH 2.5, aldehyde fuchsin and Hale's dialyzed iron staining's. In both species, the glands had multilobar tubuloacinar structure type I. The Harderian gland was located in the orbit near the inter-orbital septum, between the medial rectus muscle, the pyramidal muscle of the third eyelid, and the ventral oblique muscle. In the common pheasant, the gland was wider in the proximal and distal part. The common pheasant had more elongated lobes of the Harderian gland than in the hybrid. In the common pheasant, the glandular cells presented darkly-stained serous secretion and lightly-stained mucous secretion. In the hybrid, the glandular cells presented seromucous secretion. The central lobar space, interacinar space, and apical parts of the acini of the Harderian glands were filled with many lymphocytes and plasma cells, particularly in the common pheasant, where centers of all large lobes were abundantly filled with plasma cells. The plasma cells dominated in common pheasant's Harderian gland, while in the hybrid, lymphocytes and plasma cells were present at similar quantities. The cells positive for periodic acid of Schiff staining were dominant in hybrid. Periodic acid-Schiff, Hale's dialyzed iron and alcian blue pH 2.5 stainings demonstrated acid-carboxylated mucopolysaccharides in the glandular cells cytoplasm of the examined birds.
