Branched Cells in the Epidermis of the Sheep

BRANCHED cells positive for alkaline phosphatase, and which are darkened by osmium iodide, have been found in the epidermis of certain African primates 1–3 . Other dendritic cells have been revealed by gold impregnation and methylene blue in the non-pigmented epidermis of guinea-pigs, rabbits and ma...

Description
Summary:BRANCHED cells positive for alkaline phosphatase, and which are darkened by osmium iodide, have been found in the epidermis of certain African primates 1–3 . Other dendritic cells have been revealed by gold impregnation and methylene blue in the non-pigmented epidermis of guinea-pigs, rabbits and man 4 , and by gold impregnation and electron microscopy in the epidermis of man 5 .
