Jinekolojik Örneklerde Makrofaj-Demir İlişkisinin Sitolojik ve Sitokimyasal Olarak İncelenmesi
Özet
Macrophages play important roles in phagocytosis of pathogens, antigen processing, clearence of apoptotic cells and tissue renewal, on the other hand they take part in storage of body iron and delivering it to tissues. The purpose of our study is examining the association between macrophage and iron in cervico-vaginal smears by using cytological and cytochemical method and determining the relation between infection in smears and macrophage iron storage.
