Abstract
The range of normal total Kurloff cell levels in blood was 0-225 cells/mm3 in 150 male and 61-819 mm3 in 250 female guinea-pigs. Kurloff cell levels had a logarithmic frequency distribution in females and were positively skewed with a substantial number of zero values in males. A transient rise in Kurloff cell levels results after a single injection of aqueous oestrogen whereas a sustained increase in numbers of these cells occurs when oestrogen is administered in oily suspension.
