Cytochemical localization of peroxidase in amoeboid cells in the corpus callosum in postnatal rats.
Cytochemical study of the "amoeboid cells" in the corpus callosum in the early postnatal rat brain showed that a few of them exhibited peroxidase activity. The enzyme activity was localized in a variable number of cytoplasmic granules measuring 0.2 micron and this resembles that of monocyte-derived macrophages.
