Lymphoid Organs in Leukemia and Other Pathologies in Cattle

Abstract

Using the reaction of anaphylaxis with desensitization on guinea pigs, the antigenic structure of lymphoid organs in leukemia and other pathologies of cattle was studied. It is believed that neoplasia is the result of a distortion of the gene activity program due to the introduction of an oncogenic virus into the cell genome, integration with other biological objects, or gene mutation. All this leads to the emergence, first of all, of quantitative anomalies, expressed in continuous, uncontrolled cell division, cell migration and changes in their biochemical activity. In all likelihood, the essence of the identified differences described in the article is that in the biological fluids of cows with leukemia there are, in addition to BLV antigens, water-soluble leukemia-associated antigens.
