Abstract
Differential counts of the leukocytes of tadpoles and frogs, R. catesbeiana were made 48 hr. after the injection of hydrocortisone acetate (experimentals) or distilled water (controls). Neutrophilia and lymphopenia were evident in both the immature and mature experimental animals, but not in the controls. These changes in the distribution of white blood cells resemble those known in mammals and in R. pipiens.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
