Pathology of the Harderian Gland in chicken and duck

The lymphoid tissue of the upper respiratory tract includes paraocular and paranasallymphoid structures as well as some lymphoid accumulations in the pharynx and larynx. However, of all these paraocular lymphoid tissue, the Harderian gland is highly immunopotent. The role of the Harderian gland...

520 3 |a The lymphoid tissue of the upper respiratory tract includes paraocular and paranasallymphoid structures as well as some lymphoid accumulations in the pharynx and larynx. However, of all these paraocular lymphoid tissue, the Harderian gland is highly immunopotent. The role of the Harderian gland in the immunopathological response was evaluated taking chicken and duck as models and RD, IBD and Duck plague vaccines as antigens. The sequential cellular response following ocular antigenic stimulation was clarified. Significant increase in the plasma cell number, enlargement of the lymphoid foci and Russell body formation following ocular antigenic stimulation were the hall marks of the immune response of the Harderian gland of the chicken but this was not so much significant in the case of ducks. Harderian gland was highly reactive especially in the chicken but not so much in the case of ducks. Intraocular vaccination was found to be comparatively more effective in immunological protection in chicken. It would therefore, appear that through local administration of the antigen at the Harderian gland the duck may not respond in the same way as in the case of chicken. It was pointed out that the local antibody produced by the Harderian gland contributed in a major way to the immunological defence at the oculonasal and oropharyngeal areas and it has an obvious relevance to the epidemiology and the control of respiratory viral diseases in the avian species.
