Abstract

Background: Our study has immunohistochemically examined T cells localization and number as well as proliferative activity level for the bulbourethral gland epithelium in men of different ages, using monoclonal antibodies against CD45RO and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA).

Results: We have found that the T cells have been localized mainly in excretory ducts epithelium of the glands in any age group, meanwhile their relative number varies with age. The excretory ducts epithelium has shown a high proliferative activity when in acini the PCNA index has been low. Postnatal dynamics of the epithelium proliferative activity positively correlates with age-related density fluctuations in lymphocytic infiltration of the glands.

Conclusions: We consider that intraepithelial T cells may contribute to the regulation of epithelial cells proliferation in the bulbourethral glands.
