title: [Modification of method for detection the monoamines in leukocytes on blood smears].
abstract: Yokoo's fluorescent histochemical method for measuring leukocyte monoamines in blood smears has been modified. Sophisticated equipment proposed by the authors is replaced by Russian devices and microscope. Optimal conditions for detecting serotonin in leukocytes are selected. Evaluation of the leukocyte monoamines carried out in patients demonstrated the usefulness of the method for the diagnosis and evaluation of the efficacy of vitamin therapy. Monoamine distribution in normal human lymphocytes has been evaluated for different ages.
