| Abstract: | A preliminary report is made on the distribution of acid phosphatases and acid esterases in the cells of rainbow trout. A modified technique for the cytochemical demonstration of acid esterases is given, resulting in clearer visualization. Lymphocytes undergoing transformation in the presence of phytohaemagglutinin show a parallel decrease in enzyme localization for acid esterase and acid phosphatase as transformation in culture proceeds. |
