Sampling of lymph from lymph vessels afferent to the supramammary lymph gland in the cow

Obel, Nils J.; Östensson, Karin; Åström, Göran

Abstract

A technique for catheterization of a lymph vessel afferent to the supramammary lymph gland in the cow is described. The operation was made with the cow under general anaesthesia. The lymph vessel was catheterized with a 30 cm long heparinized polyethylene catheter with an external diameter of 2.5 to 3 mm. Generally at least 5 ml of lymph could be collected within a period of 3 to 5 minutes. In 11 out of 15 cows lymph could be collected for 7 days or longer.
