Abstract

Cytochemical and cytoenzymic studies were carried out on the blood cells of ten apparently healthy
pigs of 1-2 years of age. Erythrocytes did not exhibit any reaction when stained with acid ferrocyanide stain.
The lymphocytic cytoplasm exhibited intense red fluorescenne as compared to granulocytes. Nuclear DNA
stained orthochromatically greenish yellow whereas, cytoplasmic RNA stained metachromatically red when
stained with supravital stain. The lymphocytes also showed intense reaction when stained with methyl greenpyronin
stain. The neutrophils showed intense positive reaction for cytochrome oxidase, weak to negative
reaction for aminopeptidase and arylsulphatase. The eosinophils showed strong positive reaction for
arylsulphatase while leukocytes showed positive reaction for succinate dehydrogenase.
