As one of the largest secondary lymphoid organs, the spleen, besides having a
key role in filtering the blood, supporting the lymphocyte differentiation as well
as maintaining immune system control, is the centre of haematopoiesis during
the fetal period. Such essential cellular processes as cell maintenance, cell division
and communication between cells are regulated by intermediate filaments. Among
these filaments, vimentin and desmin play an important role in keeping mechanical
strength and giving support to the cellular differentiation processes. Therefore,
the presented study aims to find out how immunohistochemical distributions
of vimentin and desmin are done in the fetal bovine spleen during gestation
periods. In this study, from each gestational period, 10 spleen tissue samples were
collected. Before serial sections were prepared and stained immunohistochemically,
those spleen tissue samples were processed via basic histological procedures and
embedded in paraffin. The study demonstrate that vimentin and desmin exhibited
various levels of staining intensity within splenic cell during gestation. As a result,
throughout prenatal development, vimentin and desmin proteins have been seen
to have different dynamics with regards to the staining intensity and distribution
in the spleen. With this study, it was concluded that proteins from both might have
a crucial role in giving contribution to the essential biological processes, like cell
proliferation and differentiation, the structural organization of the splenic stroma,
blood cell formation, and the regulation of immune responses.
