Materials and Methods: For this purpose, tissue samples from hemal nodes of six 2-year-old-aged Turkish Merino rams were used. In frozen sections, ACP-ase was demonstrated. Results: The results showed that ACP-ase-positive lymphocytes localized especially in the germinal centers of the secondary lymphatic nodules. A few ACP-ase-positive lymphocytes were observed in primary follicles, interfollicular area and lymphatic cords. Conclusion: It was concluded that the further experimental studies should be performed on hemal nodes of ruminants UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/eurasianjvetsci/issue//262163 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/228686 ER -
