title: The cytochemistry of rabbit peripheral blood leukocytes.
abstract: The authors report on their investigations of the differentiation between neutrophilic and eosinophilic granulocytes of the peripheral blood in healthy rabbits. By varying the pH-value and the incubation time it is possible to achieve a reliable differentiation between neutrophilic and eosinophilic granulocytes of the rabbit by means of 6 different cytochemical methods which could only be made incompletely with the routine methods used up till now (Eosin-, Giemsa-, Wright's-colouring etc.). Moreover, monocytes and lymphocytes can also be identified reliably.
