The Structure Of Bursa Of Fabricius In The Long-Legged Buzzard (Buteo Rufinus): Histological And Histochemical Study

The bursa of Fabricius (BF) is a lymphoepithelial organ found only in birds. Differences in morphology of BF could play an important role in immune response. The objective of this study was to investigate the histological and histochemical characteristics of the bursa of Fabricius in the long-legged...
