  • Title: Demonstration of acid alpha naphthyl acetate esterase activity in bovine lymphocytes and monocytes or macrophages.
    Author: Dhingra VK, Gupta RK, Sadana JR.
    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 1982 Jul; 33(1):26-30. PubMed ID: 7134645.
    Abstract:
    Nonspecific acid alpha naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) activity has been demonstrated in bovine lymphocytes and monocytes-macrophages. The lymphocytes exhibited a solitary reddish brown globular reaction adjacent to the cell membrane (T-pattern) whereas the monocytes-macrophages revealed a diffuse reddish brown cytoplasmic reaction (M-pattern) product. Cytocentrifuge smears of lymphocytes forming rosettes with sheep erythrocytes also revealed T-pattern ANAE reaction in the majority of the cells. Similar T- and M-patterns of ANAE activity were observed in cryostat sections of biopsies collected from normal bovine lymph nodes and horn cancer tissue sections from bullocks.
