Abstract
By means of the luminescent-histochemical method of S. A. M. Cross, S. W.-B. Ewen and E. W. D. Rost [9] in the premedullary zone of the thymus lobule cortex histamine-containing cells have been found; they have different form, size, luminescent colour. The histamine-containing cells differently react to introduction of biologically active substances: histamine, noradrenaline, acetylcholine. Their amount depends on sex and age of the animals.
