Abstract

Application of a commercial Diff-Quick kit for fish hematology was evaluated. Diff-Quick stain was incomplete in staining not only the nucleus and cytoplasm but also granules of leucocytes that were stained in soluton I and II for five seconds. However, when the staining time changed to 5 seconds in solution I and 10 seconds in solution II, followed by washing with deionized distilled water, the kit showed the similar results as in May-Grunwald Giemsa stain. The results indicate that the kit can be used in fish hematology for rapid staining.

수산 혈액학에 시판의 Diff-Quick kit를 사용할 수 있는지의 여부를 검토하였다. 제조사의 지시에 따라 뱀장어의 말초혈액의 도말표본을 염색하였을 때는 핵의 염색성이 불량하여 핵 내에 미염색의 부분도 남아 있고, 또한 세포질의 호염기성도 저하되었으며, 백혈구 과립의 염색도 불량하여 상법으로 사용하는 May-Glunward Giemsa염색에 비해 염색성이 나빴다. 그러나 염색 시간을 변경하여 solution I에 5초, solution II에 10초 염색 후 이온교환수로 세척하였을 때 양호한 결과를 얻었으며, 혈구의 분류도 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 염색 조건을 다른 어종인 메기를 비롯한 3종의 어류의 말초혈액의 도말표본에 적용해본 결과 이들 어류의 혈액 염색에도 적용 가능한 것으로 나타났다.
