“…The current study found positive reaction for both acid phosphatase and esterase as previous studies on fish did [8,9,12,45]. We believe that the findings in monocytes certainly are indicative of the role of this cell in the innate immune response.…”

“…Veterinary haematology has relied on classical Romanowsky staining to identify erythrocytes, thrombocytes and leucocytes, but cellular classification of fish leucocytes is not always reliable using classical staining methods (Tavares-Dias, 2006) because fish show a wide diversity of leucocytes, with different cell types and structural heterogeneity observed even between closely-related species (Meseguer et al, 1994;Shigdar et al, 2009). In addition, piscine leucocytes are generally less differentiated than their mammalian counterparts, making them more difficult to distinguish from each other (Hine et al, 1987;Shigdar et al, 2009). The ultrastructural analysis in the leucocyte is a useful tool for precise characterization of the cell type as well as provides a more detailed demonstration of intracellular components (Da Silva et al, 2011).…”

The ultrastructural and cytochemical properties of peripheral blood cells of Gymnocypris eckloni were investigated by transmission electron microscopy and a range of cytochemical techniques to provide clear insight into the structure and function of blood cells from this fish. Ultrastructurally, erythrocytes, leucocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes), thrombocytes and plasma cells were identified in the peripheral blood of G. eckloni. The most special ultrastructural characteristics of blood cells in this fish were that neutrophils exhibited only one type of cytoplasmic granules containing an eccentric, spherical or oval electron-dense core, and eosinophils presented two types of granules with non-uniform electronic density and without crystalloids in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes and thrombocytes were positive for periodic acid-Schiff and α-naphthyl acetate esterase staining. Intense peroxidase positive staining was observed in neutrophils and monocytes, but not in eosinophils, lymphocytes and thrombocytes. Neutrophils, eosinophils and monocytes were stained positively for acid phosphatase, whereas lymphocytes and thrombocytes did not stain. Leucocytes and thrombocytes were negative for alkaline phosphatase and Sudan black B staining. Erythrocytes were negative for all cytochemical staining. The cytochemical and ultrastructural features of peripheral blood cells of G. eckloni were similar to those of other fish species. However, some important differences were identified in G. eckloni.

Fish show a wide diversity of leukocytes, with different cell types and structural heterogeneity even between closely related species (Shigdar et al, 2009). In differential count in fishes, leukocytes in blood smears are commonly characterized by lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, and eosinophils (Blaxhall and Daisley, 1973).…”
