| Abstract | ||
| The present study was planned to clarify some blood parameters of camels including erythrocyte count, haemoglobin esumauon. ESR, total and differential leu- cocyuc count. The effects of age and sea- sons (summer and winter) on these values were recorded. In addition some of the immunological properties of lymphoctes were also studied including separation of lymphocytes, preparation of anti-lymphocyte serum and detection of the prepared anti-lymphocytic serum either by studying their effect on human erythrocyte sedimentation rate or by using agglutination test against camel, humag or sheep blood. The results revealed that: The RBCs count increased proporational to age and it was higher in winter than in summer. This was clear at old ages (more than 2.5 years old). Band cells percentage was higher in summer than in winter and it was clear in ages between 2-5 year old. Other blood parameters showed no significant changes. The ESR of human blood showed no significant change except after incubation of the human blood at 33°C/3 hrs, it was significantly decreased after 24 hrs. Agglutination test of anti-camel lymphocyte serum using camel, human or sheep Jymphocyes revealed clear positive results. | ||
