title: A comparison of cholinesterase activity of plasma, erythrocytes, and cerebrospinal fluid of sheep, calves, dogs, swine, and rabbits.
abstract: Cerebrospinal fluid cholinesterase activity was determined in 5 species of domestic animals. Suitable samples of cerebrospinal fluid could be obtained repeatedly from sheep, calves, and dogs without killing, but not from pigs and rabbits. The cholinesterase activity among erythrocytes, plasma, and cerebrospinal fluid of these species was also compared statistically.
