Abstract:
The staining characteristics of the peripheral blood cells from mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, dog, marmoset and monkey were studied. In marmoset, it is easy to distinguish neutrophils from eosinophils by using the phosphate-buffered solution of pH 5 or 6. It was found in the special staining methods that neutrophil granules showed intense peroxidase and Sudan black B reactions in marmoset in comparison with those in the other species of experimental animals. Neutrophil granules rabbit was, however, intensely stained with esterase and acid phosphatase.
