Abstract
Only 2 major mast cell (MC) subtypes are commonly recognized in the mouse: the large connective tissue mast cells (CTMCs) and the mucosal mast cells (MMCs). Interepithelial mucosal inflammatory cells, most commonly identified as globule leukocytes (GLs), represent a third MC subtype in mice, which we term interepithelial mucosal mast cells (ieMMCs). This term clearly distinguishes ieMMCs from lamina proprial MMCs (lpMMCs) while clearly communicating their common MC lineage. Both lpMMCs and ieMMCs are rare in normal mouse intestinal mucosa, but increased numbers of ieMMCs are seen as part of type 2 immune responses to intestinal helminth infections and in food allergies. Interestingly, we found that increased ieMMCs were consistently associated with decreased mucosal inflammation and damage, suggesting that they might have a role in controlling helminth-induced immunopathology. We also found that ieMMC hyperplasia can develop in the absence of helminth infections, for example, in Treg-deficient mice, Arf null mice, some nude mice, and certain graft-vs-host responses. Since tuft cell hyperplasia plays a critical role in type 2 immune responses to intestinal helminths, we looked for (but did not find) any direct relationship between ieMMC and tuft cell numbers in the intestinal mucosa. Much remains to be learned about the differing functions of ieMMCs and lpMMCs in the intestinal mucosa, but an essential step in deciphering their roles in mucosal immune responses will be to apply immunohistochemistry methods to consistently and accurately identify them in tissue sections.

Abstract
The increased susceptibility during pregnancy to certain pathogens that cause abortions may be related to changes in the distribution and phenotype of lymphocyte subpopulations in the uterus. Histological, electron microscopic and immunocytochemical techniques were used in this study to examine whether such variations occur in different stages of the reproductive cycle of goats. The study of non-pregnant goats showed that most uterine lymphocytes were T cells and displayed both an intraepithelial and stromal distribution. CD8+ T lymphocytes were more numerous than CD4+ T lymphocytes. In the endometrial epithelium two lymphocyte subpopulations were observed: non-granulated CD2+ CD8+ T lymphocytes and granulated CD2+ CD8- T lymphocytes. During gestation, no lymphocytes were observed in the placentomal area, while a decreased number of T lymphocyte subpopulations were found in the inter-placentomal area. In the inter-caruncular epithelium, non-granulated CD2+ CD8+ T lymphocytes disappeared, whereas the granulated CD2+ CD8- T lymphocyte subpopulations increased their number and changed their morphology.

Abstract
Granulated metrial gland cells, also known as uterine natural killer cells or large granular lymphocytes, are pregnancy associated leucocytes of granular phenotype. They are well characterised in mice and humans in terms of their structure, origin and distribution although the function of these cells has yet to be determined. In this review, granulated metrial gland cells in 'minor' species of rodents, insectivores, primates and species with epitheliochorial placentae are described. Emphasis is given to the comparative structure and distribution of granulated metrial gland cells in these minor species and to their possible functional association with trophoblast. Comparative studies of granulated metrial gland cells in minor species complements other approaches such as can be provided using mutant mice.

Abstract
In sheep that had been given three immunizing infections with Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Ostertagia circumcincta infective (L3) larvae, drenched after the last infection and challenged with larvae of the same species, there was a significant increase in numbers of small intestine mucosal tissue globule leukocytes (TGLs) and lumenal globule leukocytes (LuGLs) compared with sheep that had only been drenched and challenged. There was a positive correlation between the numbers of LuGLs and TGLs in the small intestine but the ratio of these two cell types was lower in non-immunized than immunized sheep. In immunized sheep positive correlations were observed between LuGLs and levels of arylsulphatase and peroxidase in the intestinal mucus and between arylsulphatase and larval migration inhibition (LMI) activity in mucus. Lumen eosinophils correlated with blood eosinophils, serum antibody against T. colubriformis correlated with peroxidase in the mucus and blood eosinophils correlated with nematode specific IgM levels in the intestinal mucus. In the abomasum, TGLs were present but not LuGLs. Sheep repeatedly infected with T. axei also had significantly more LuGLs in the small intestine than control animals. Two sheep that had a surgically prepared isolated small intestinal loop, after oral infection with T. colubriformis had TGLs and LuGLs in the intact intestine, but not in the isolated loop. Significantly more LuGLs were produced in sheep by allowing repeated T. colubriformis L3 infections to develop to adult stages compared to sheep treated with the same number of larvae, but where the infections were terminated by drenching at various intervals.

Abstract
PROBLEM Previous studies have revealed the presence of a unique population of CD45R+ granulated cells in the sheep uterine epithelium. In the present study, dramatic changes in this cell population and in the nongranulated lymphocytes in the uterine and endometrial glandular epithelium of non-cycling, cycling, pregnant, and postparturient sheep are described. In noncycling and cycling sheep, the granules in the granulated intraepithelial cells were small. From days 55 to 134 of pregnancy, the granules in these cells were large, and there was a significant increase (P < 0.01) in the proportion of this cell population in the uterine epithelium but not in the endometrial glandular epithelium located in the deeper region of the stroma. The number of these cells declined dramatically (P < 0.01) from 2 to 15 days after parturition. Both the tissue distribution and the time of activation of these cells suggests they are different from the granulated lymphocytes described in placentae of mice and man. CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that this unique population of granulated cells is derived from lymphocytes, and that these cells become metabolically active from mid- to late-pregnancy and may play a physiological role during pregnancy or birth. In contrast, the number of nongranulated intraepithelial lymphocytes were suppressed throughout pregnancy and they probably do not play a role in pregnancy.

Abstract
The histochemical and ultrastructural features of the globular leukocyte of the bovine respiratory tract is described and found to be similar to those localized in the abomasum and bile ducts of cattle. Histochemical analysis of these cells demonstrated low amounts of carboxylated mucin mixed with neutral mucin and large amounts of basic protein. Two types of globules were seen in the leucocytes; one with a homegeneous electron dense material and another with vesiculated, crastalloid containing bodies.

Abstract
Globule leukocytes in the epithelium of the rat trachea may be counterparts of mucosal mast cells that are located in the gastrointestinal tract. If they are indeed similar to mucosal mast cells, globule leukocytes would be expected to decrease in number in rats treated with dexamethasone but not in rats treated with compound 48/80, an agent which causes non-antigenic degranulation of connective tissue mast cells. In this study, we determined the number and compared the distribution of globule leukocytes and connective tissue mast cells in the tracheas of pathogen-free rats. We then determined whether the number of these two types of cells changes in rats treated for 5 days with compound 48/80, dexamethasone, a combination of compound 48/80 and dexamethasone, or saline. We identified globule leukocytes and mast cells in whole mounts and histological sections of rat tracheas by using a histochemical reaction that demonstrates the chymotrypsin-like protease (chloroacetate esterase) present in mast cell granules. Using this method, we found that approximately 225,000 globule leukocytes were present in the epithelium of the trachea. These cells were most abundant in the rostral trachea. Rats treated with dexamethasone had a 91% reduction in the number of globule leukocytes with protease-containing granules, but rats treated with compound 48/80 had a normal number of these cells. We found some 55,000 connective tissue mast cells in the same tracheas. Mast cells were most abundant in the posterior membrane of the caudal trachea and in the lamina propria between cartilaginous rings. Rats treated with compound 48/80 had a 96% reduction in mast cells with protease-containing granules, but rats treated with dexamethasone had a normal complement of mast cells. We conclude that globule leukocytes are abundant in the tracheas of healthy rats, are similar in morphology and pharmacological responses to mucosal mast cells located in other organs of rats, and are more numerous than and have a different distribution than connective tissue mast cells. Globule leukocytes in the tracheal epithelium may have a role in respiratory defenses similar to that of mucosal mast cells in other organs.

Abstract
Globule leukocytes, dispersed throughout the respiratory epithelium as single cells, were isolated from rat trachea and were enriched by centrifugation on a discontinuous Percoll gradient. The isolation and enrichment procedure yields a cell fraction containing 75% globule leukocytes. The cell viability, as assessed by trypan blue exclusion, was at least 98%. Cells were maintained in short-term culture without apparent loss of viability and enzyme activity. The isolated globule leukocytes seem not to express significant levels of cytotoxicity against 51Cr-labeled YAC-1 target cells. In fixed cytocentrifuge smears, globule leukocytes appear as more or less rounded to oval cells with a low nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio and with a mostly eccentrically located nucleus. Characteristic intracytoplasmic granules are stained with toluidine blue, alcian blue, and May-Grünwald-Giemsa stains. The applied cytochemical methods demonstrate that tracheal globule leukocytes are stained for alpha naphthyl acetate esterase and naphthol-AS-D-chloroacetate esterase, but not for alpha naphthyl butyrate esterase, N-acetyl-DL-phenylalanine-B-naphthyl esterase, and endogenous peroxidase. Isolated rat peritoneal cells were used as positive control cells for the cytochemical reactions. The obtained cytochemical profile of tracheal globule leukocytes is compared to the known cytochemical profile of intestinal globule leukocytes and large granular lymphocytes. The cytochemical dissimilarities between tracheal and intestinal globule leukocytes may suggest that both kinds of globule leukocytes represent a different form of the same cell type or even different cell types. The cytochemical pattern of tracheal globule leukocytes is closely related to that of large granular lymphocytes, which have been postulated as a possible source for globule leukocytes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Changes in the numbers of globule leucocytes, mast cells, eosinophils and goblet cells in the gastrointestinal mucosa were examined in relation to the development of resistance and elimination of nematodes in grazing sheep in their first year of life. Sheep immunised against Trichostrongylus colubriformis, and sheep treated with dexamethasone were also examined. A strong association between resistance to infection and the presence of globule leucocytes was found. In contrast, the numbers of mast cells or goblet cells were not correlated with resistance. Globule leucocyte and eosinophil numbers were also correlated with antiparasite activity in mucus. Immunising infections of T. colubriformis given to 10-month-old sheep, their duration limited by thiabendazole treatment, gave rise to considerable immunity to homologous challenge infections. Larvae that developed to the 4th stage were as effective at stimulating immunity as those that developed to the 5th stage. Dexamethasone treatment abrogated resistance to trickle challenge infection with T. colubriformis and reduced mucosal globule leucocyte and mast cell numbers. After cessation of drug treatment, the re-establishment of resistance and adult worm elimination were associated with repopulation of the mucosa with large numbers of globule leucocytes and high antiparasite activities in mucus.

Abstract
Ovine mucosal mast cells and globule leucocytes have been isolated from the abomasum of normal sheep, and from animals challenged with Ostertagia circumcincta. The ultrastructural, morphological and histochemical properties of these cells have been investigated. The granules of ovine mucosal immunoglobulin and a serine esterase. These cells also possess surface immunoglobulin. Cells morphologically intermediate between mucosal mast cells and bulin. Cells morphologically intermediate between mucosal mast cells and globule leucocytes have similar granule and surface properties. These observations, together with quantitative data, indicate that alterations in the granule structure of mucosal mast cells as a consequence of prolonged antigenic challenge give rise to mast cells in the epithelium which, in the past, have been commonly recognized as globule leucocytes.

Abstract
Amine-containing cells in the tracheal epithelium are typically of the small-granule type (diameter approximately 100 nm). However, in the rat, another amine-containing cell type has been identified that possesses the amine-handling features of the APUD-series of cells (amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation) but not the ultrastructural characteristics. It has been postulated that these cells may be related to cutaneous melanocytes. In this study, fluorescent cells were present in the laryngeal and tracheal epithelial lining of adult Sprague-Dawley rats following freeze-drying and exposure to formaldehyde vapor (FIF or formaldehyde-induced fluorescence). Microspectrofluorimetry revealed an emission maximum at 493 nm. The excitation maximum could not be calculated but appeared to be around or below 350 nm (to record spectra below requires the use of quartz optics). Yellow fluorescence also emanated from serotonin-containing mast cells (excitation and emission maxima: 401/515 nm). Tracheal segments processed according to the aqueous formaldehyde ( AFIF ) technique, for the demonstration of 5- hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) or serotonin (5-HT), failed to identify fluorescent cells in the epithelial lining even though connective-tissue mast cells were evident. Subsequent treatment of AFIF -fixed sections with formaldehyde and HCl vapors ( AFIF -HCl) resulted in the formation of a fluorogenic compound within numerous cells in the tracheal lining (455/537 nm). This spectral shift and increase in intensity of fluorescence following acidification are characteristic for standards and/or cells that contain tryptamine, tryptophan, or peptides with NH2-terminal tryptophan and are markedly different from microspectrofluorimetric data reported for the phenylethylamines or serotonin. It is therefore postulated that these cells contain a closely related beta-(3-indolyl) ethylamine-like compound, serotonin excluded. The morphology of the fluorescent cells was similar when prepared according to the FIF or AFIF -HCl techniques. Conjunctive staining, the examination of a single section first by fluorescence microscopy and subsequently by other histochemical and cytochemical methods, demonstrated that the fluorescent granules were also methylene blue, alcian blue, periodic-acid Schiff, and ferric- fericyanide positive. Subsequent correlative electron microscopic examination of Epon-embedded AFIF -HCl-treated tracheal sections demonstrated that these amine-containing cells were globule leukocytes.

Abstract
The globule leucocyte is a cell with a wide distribution in the digestive, respiratory, biliary, urinary and genital tract epithelia of homeotherms. It occurs in the crypts of the rat small intestine and within the epithelium on the villous bases but not on the remainder of the villi. A characteristic feature of this cell is the presence of acidophilic cytoplasmic granules, 0.5 to a few micrometers in diameter. The nucleus resembles that of intraepithelial intestinal lymphocytes. In this investigation, a quantitative study was made of the effect of thyroidectomy and/or castration on the number of globule leucocytes in the duodenal crypts of immature and adult rats. In sham-operated rats, globule leucocytes were rare, occurring with a frequency of 1 or 2 per 1,000 epithelial cells. After thyroidectomy, they increased to 14--20 per 1,000 epithelial cells. Castration did not influence the number of globule leucocytes but resulted in an increase in the number, size and acidophilia of their cytoplasmic granules. In immature rats, but not in adults, castration combined with thyroidectomy enhanced the effect of thyroidectomy, increasing globule leucocyte number to 32 per 1,000 epithelial cells. Treatment of thyroidectomized-castrates with thyroxine, initiated 38 days after operation, reduced the crypt globule leucocyte population to normal, whereas treatment with testosterone did not. Growth hormone failed to influence the elevated number of globule leucocytes in thyroidectomized rats, suggesting that this action of thyroxine was not mediated via an influence on growth hormone release. Because of their similar nuclear morphology, intraepithelial crypt lymphocytes were also counted and there was no obvious relationship in the fluctuations of these two cell populations. It is suggested that the greater number of crypt globule leucocytes in thyroid deficiency may reflect changes in the intestinal secretory immunoglobulin system and this is being investigated, beginning with a study of the distribution of IgE.

Abstract
Infections of Raillietina cesticillus in the small intestine of the fowl caused a mononuclear leucocyte infiltration, which occurred in the tissues around the worm scolices and was especially prevalent in challenge infections. There was no evidence of vascular congestion or of a neutrophilic response, and the cellular reaction seemed to consist of a local proliferation of lymphoid tissue. Mast cell and pyroninophylic cell numbers increased in the intestinal mucosa of birds with longstanding primary infections and with secondary infections, but very little eosinlophil infiltration was detected and the globule leucocyte response was minimal. The infections had no effect on the numbers of theliolymphocytes and goblet cells. Challenge infections did not result in an increased level of serum antibodies, but more cells containing globulin seemed to be present in the intestinal mucosa of these birds. The interrelationships of the various cell responses to the cestode and the origin of the globule leucocyte are discussed in the light of previous work on helminth infections.

Abstract
The intraepithelial lymphoid cells of chicken small intestine were studied by light microscopy using 1 mu Epon sections, and by electron microscopy. Three cell types were found: small lymphocytes, large lymphoid cells, and granular cells. These cells correspond to the theliolymphocytes and globule leucocytes of previous authors. The numbers of all cell types increased with age. Correlation was found between the number of small lymphocytes and large lymphoid cells, but not between granular cells and either of the other two. A hypothesis is proposed, assigning these cells with a function in mucosal immunity.

Abstract
Sheep infected with Oesophagostomum columbianum showed anorexia, loss of weight, diarrhoea and macroscopically obvious oedema and inflammation of the alimentary tract. Arthus-like lesions caused by the larvae developed particularly in the large intestine.The gross immunological responses of the sheep were associated with antibodies in greater titre within the mucus of the gut than in the serum. Acquired immunity was manifest through an antibody-antigen reaction which was localized mostly in the large intestine and which involved proliferation of the lymphoid tissue of the gut and an increased synthesis of protein. Lower titres of antibody in serum than in mucus may indicate leakage of antibody away from the gut. The direct effects of antibody were established by the respiratory inhibition of the 3rd-stage larvae. The presence of antibody was associated with particularly high concentrations of β globulin after first and β and γ globulins after second infection. Specific antibody was demonstrated in these protein fractions by blockage of electrophoretic movement by larval antigen in the buffer.The antibody-antigen reaction may act as a trigger which releases the nonspecific effects of excess mucus production and oedema which causes mechanical dislodgement of the infection. The natural and specific respiratory inhibitory effects of mucus on the worm would facilitate this dislodgement process.The greatest cellular reactions occurred where there was an active infection. Usually these reactions were associated with oedema, hyperaemia and an increase in the size of the mesenteric lymph nodes.
