AB  - A correlated morphological and cytochemical approach to the hemocytes in 
      Leucophaea maderae characterizes the granule contents of blood cells with May 
      Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG), periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), Alcian blue (AB), and Sudan 
      black B stainings, and after fluorochroming with acridine orange (AO). The cell 
      nucleus and nuclear DNA is demonstrated with the Feulgen reaction. The activities 
      of alpha-naphtyl butyrate esterase (ANBE) and acid phosphatase (AcPase) have been 
      investigated in hemocytes, by both light and electron microscopy. The study 
      discloses five cells types: prohemocyts, plasmatocytes, granulocytes, 
      spherulocytes, and cytocytes. Occasional Sudan black-positive cells could 
      represent an adipohemocyte category. The different patterns of cytochemical 
      staining suggest a variety of functional roles for hemocytes. The most selective 
      reaction pattern in terms of cytological differentiation among hemocytes occurred 
      with the ANBE reaction. Ultrastructural analysis of intercellular granule 
      contents, and the demonstration of cells with intermediate features, suggests 
      that the hemolymph of Leucophaea maderae contains a developmental series from 
      prohemocyte to plasmatocyte to granulocyte and then to spherulocyte. (c) 1993
