Biopsies of small intestine from 7 dogs were examined by fluorescence microscopy to determine the number of IgM-containing cells in the lamina propria. Biopsies were taken from duodenum, jejunum, and ileium. (Cell counts were made by 2 persons to demonstrate reproducibility.) There were 452.24 +/- 60.09 cells per mm2 in the duodenum 572.68 +/- 62.13 cells per mm2 in the jejunum, and 107.47 +/- 59.57 cells per mm2 in the ileum. All sections were cut at 6 micrometer. The ileum had fewer cells than either duodenum or jejunum (P = 0.000038 and 0.00001, respectively), whereas duodenum and jejunum did not differ significantly in numbers of cells (P = 0.17528). Quantifying autofluorescent cells in the same sites showed no significant differences among the 3 tissues (P = 0.24697). The autofluorescent cells differed in intensity and morphology from the IgM cells. These two observations tend to support the contention that the autofluorescent cells did not bias the IgM cell counts at the 3 sites. Total autofluorescence (cells, collagen, and vessels) was higher in the ileum than in either the jejunum or the duodenum (P = 0.04967 and 0.03050, respectively). However, all 3 categories counted (IgM cells, autofluorescent cells, and autofluorescent structures) had significant dog-tissue interactions. This will necessitate determining normals for each age-sex-breed category of dog studied.
