Studies on Fluctuation of the Function of the Reticuloendothelial System. 2nd Report.

Espccially on the Relationship Between the Congo Red Index and Phagocytic Ratio of Histiocytes in Subcutaneous Tissue.

Abstract

Studies on the function of reticuloendothelial system of animal were made through the comparison of the value of congo red index and phagocytic ratio of histiocytes in subcutaneous tissue to india ink, and blood picture of normal rabbits.
No exact paralleled reaction was found between the values obtained by the conga red method and phagocytic ratio of histiocytes of subcutaneous tissue and also through the blood picture, value of the mean number of nuclear lobes of multinuclear leucocytes, there seems to be no close relation between them.
