ACTIVITY OF LEUKOCYTE ENZYMES IN AMERICAN MINK (NEOVISON VISON): GENOTYPIC AND AGE-RELATED DIFFERENCES

The activity and localization of enzymes in blood leukocytes were examined in dark brown (+/+), silver-blue (p/p) and sapphire (a/a p/p) minks during several periods of postnatal development. This study was performed by morphometric and cytochemical methods using light microscopy and image analysis software “VidеoTest». Significant genotypic differences were determined in the distribution of peroxidase, naphthol AS-D chloroacetate esterase...
