Study of the glucocorticoid effects on the counts of Bcl-2-positive cells in various zones of the spleen showed that dexamethasone and prednisolone stimulated migration of apoptosis-resistant cells to the spleen, but their effects on cell distribution in various morphofunctional zones of the spleen were different. The population of Bcl-2-positive cells is divided into morphotypes, differing by location and reaction to glucocorticoids.
