Pieces of ovary and ultimobranchial gland from adult laying hens were examined by an indirect peroxidase technique which differentiated tissue eosinophil and heterophil leucocytes. The results showed that in both organs, brown-staining peroxidase-positive eosinophils were greatly out-numbered by pink- to red-staining heterophils, thus demonstrating that eosinophils are not the dominant granulocyte present, as has been widely reported. It is suggested that the heterophils may be required in a phagocytic role.
采用间接过氧化物酶技术对成年产蛋母鸡的卵巢和鳃后腺组织进行检查，该技术可区分组织中的嗜酸性粒细胞和嗜异性粒细胞。结果显示，在这两个器官中，呈棕色染色的过氧化物酶阳性嗜酸性粒细胞数量远少于呈粉红色至红色染色的嗜异性粒细胞，这表明嗜酸性粒细胞并非如广泛报道的那样是主要的粒细胞。研究表明，嗜异性粒细胞可能具有吞噬作用。
