AbstractUsing the SD rats as an experimental model of apoptosis in lymphocytes of the mesenteric lymph nodes with cycloheximide, the structure of lymphocyte were observed with in situ end labeling and electron microscope technique. The results showed that many of the lymphocytes displayed the morphology of apoptosis after 4 hours treatment with cycloheximide with shrinkage of nuclear pyknosis, or chromatin condensation and margination, mitochondria and endoplastic reticula proliferation, autophagosomes and apoptotic bodies formation. Our present study demonstrated that cycloheximide mainly induced apoptosis of B lymphocyte in germinal center of mesenteric lymph nodes. The phenomenon of mitochondria and endoplastic reticula proliferation was an active process of apoptosis.
