Tinctorial behavior of the cell types in the adenohypophysis of Swiss albino mice.
The cytological features of the pituitary of normal male inbred Swiss albino mice were studied. On the basis of 4 staining methods (CW, MTS, PAS-OG-MB, AT-PAS-OG), 5 types of chromophil cells have been identified: 2 types of acidophils--red and orange--and 3 types of basophils--angular to polyhedral dark-staining large cells, dark-staining small round cells and oval light-staining large cells.
