title: Cytochemical differences in leucocytes of normal adult males and females.
abstract: Peripheral blood samples were drawn from 50 patients (25 males and 25 females) with no apparent haematologic disorders. Smears were stained for Periodic Acid-Schiff and beta-glucuronidase reactions. Diffuse to moderate activity was observed in leucocytes for both stains. There was a significant difference in males and females in positive reactions in monocytes stained for beta-glucuronidase and in lymphocytes and granulocytes stained for PAS.
