Zusammenfassung

Histochemische Reaktionen an regredierenden Schwänzen von Krallenfroschlarven haben ergeben, dass die saure Phosphatase und die kathepsinartigen Esterasen vorwiegend in Makrophagen des subepidermalen Bindegewebes angereichert sind. Somit dürfte die erhöhte Aktivität dieser Fermente im regredierenden Schwanzgewebe auf der lokalen Aktivierung von Makrophagen beruhen.
