Group,

Note esp. stim of contralateral nodes - systemic, not just local, stimulation.

 Changes of morphological parameters of relative area of structural components
on histological section, submicroscopic peculiarities of cells from regional
and contralateral popliteal lymph nodes (LN) of albino rats were found to
correlate with the dose of irradiation of low power laser (LPL) (3-30.0
J/cm2). It was proven that 3.0 J/cm2 irradiation stimulates LN. It is
essential that local action of LPL causes similar reaction in the
contralateral right popliteal LN, which indicates systemic reaction of the
immune system to this physical factor.
