Blood and bone marrow cells of the straw-coloured fruit bat, Eidolon helvum were examined for Sudan black B and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive material, peroxidase, naphthol ASD chloroacetate esterase and beta-glucuronidase. A strong peroxidase reaction was given by developing granulocytes and monocytes in bone marrow smears, but the mature cells in the peripheral blood smears showed no reactivity. Further, developing and mature erythrocytes in both blood and bone marrow smears showed intense peroxidase reactivity.

Human blood lymphocyte subpopulations, revealed by a panel of commercially available monoclonal antibodies by means of a rosetting technique, were submitted to direct cytochemical analysis and were shown to have distinguishing characteristics. T cells reactive with OKT3 antibody (T3+) displayed higher beta-glucuronidase and dot-like alpha-naphthyl acetate acid esterase (ANAE) activity than T3- cells. Helper/inducer cells (T4+) were characterized by a high level of dot-like ANAE activity, whereas cytotoxic/suppressor cells (T8+) displayed selective naphthol-ASD-chloroacetate esterase activity. These results provide evidence for association of some cytoplasmic enzyme activities with the expression of membrane differentiation markers defined by monoclonal antibodies.
