In the present study are described the changes of neutrophilic leukocytes' response on injection of different substances. There are evaluated possibilities to use the changes of these leukocytes as a criterion for injected stub wound age estimation. The experimental study was carried out on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded material from rat skin. Results show that changes of neutrophilic leukocytes and their response depend on time since injury and injected substance and use of this particular cell response as a criterion for stub wound age estimation is recommended.
