Tissue Structure of Reproductive Organs of Rooster and Localization of IL-1β and IL-6 in Reproductive Organs

【Objective】 IL-1β and IL-6 act as important roles in immune defence of reproductive organs of roosters.The objective of the present study is to reveal tissue structure of reproductive organs of rooster,and localized the expression of IL-1β and IL-6.【Method】 In the experiment,the tissues of reproductive organs from mature-healthy rooster were dehydrated,embedded and stained with Hematoxylin-eosin,and then the tissues structure of testis,epididymis and duct deferens were captured and analyzed.Meanwhile IL-1β and IL-6 were localized in reproductive tract by immunohistochemistry.【Results】 The results showed that reproductive tract from epididymis was the main segment of reproductive tract of rooster,and then the change tendency of epithelium of reproductive tract highly adapted to sperm delivery;IL-1β and IL-6 mainly were located in the proximal efferent duct of epididymis,moreover,IL-1β was mainly localized in the proximal efferent duct with short bolds,and IL-6 was mainly localized in the proximal efferent duct with long bolds.【Conclusion】 The result suggested that epididymal efferent duct,especially proximal efferent duct maybe was main segment of reproductive tract of rooster for clearances abnormal sperm and dead cells.
