Histochemistry, Japanese quail, SpleenAbstract
Histochemical study was conducted on spleen of 48 normal Japanese quail birds irrespective of sex at different age groups. Sections were processed with various staining methods to study the histochemical details. Capsule and trabeculae showed increasing PAS positive activity with the advancement of the age. PAS positive activity was also observed to be increased in tunica intima and tunica adventitia of trabecular arteries and trabecular veins. Moderate to strong AB-PAS activity was observed in the tunica intima and tunica adventitia of trabecular arteries and veins in first two age groups. The AB-PAS activity was found absent in the tissue of white pulp in first week age ofbirds.
