Summary
A study was made of the antigenic reactivity of the spleen, appendix, intestine and esophagus in hens by estimating the PAS—positive and pyroninophilic cells. The amount of lymphatic tissue was determined in the hen conjunctiva. The greatest number of PAS—positive cells was revealed in the membrane proper of appendices and intestine, the least-in the splenic follicules. The lymphatic tissue of conjunctiva increased almost 2.5-fold during the observation period.
