Abstract
Summary
In a group of Swiss albino mice injected with cortisone acetate it was found that 8 hours post injection the spleens contained a significant increase in the number of eosinophilic leucocytes. It is postulated that this may be the locale of the eosinophilic leucocytes during their disappearance from the circulating blood following adrenal cortical stimulation. The number of eosinophilic leucocytes found in the spleen could account for the number that disappeared from the circulating blood following a single injection of cortisone acetate.
