[Possible causes of the heterogeneity of the histochemical properties of tissue basophils].

By means of a complex of histochemical staining techniques cytoplasmic biopolymeres of tissue basophils (TB) have been studied in the stomach of the men (64 observations), in that of the rat and dog (40 species each). The data obtained are compared to those of the literature on presence of histamin in the TB investigated. A hypothesis is formulated according to which heterogeneity of the TB histochemical properties at the level of the histophysiological microsystem is a reflection of the intertissue integration along the line: parenchymal cell-TB of the connective tissue stroma; at the cellular level TB heterogeneity is determined by presence or absence in them of histochemically determinated protein, its qualitative composition that, in its turn, depends on type and/or on set of bioamines, initiating the TB new formation.
