Abstract
ONE of us has shown as early as 1929 that the characteristic function of the reticulo-endothelial cells, namely, the granular storage of colloidal substances, can also be studied in surviving tissues1. The Kupffer cells store colloidal gold, silver or carbon in large quantities if these substances are perfused in a suitable solution through the portal system of the isolated liver1–5. Perfusion experiments carried out on rat liver furnished numerous valuable data concerning the mechanism of storage4.
