The morphology of reticular cells of the sheathed arteries, in the red pulp of pig spleen, was studied by using transmission electron microscopy; and their histochemical reactivity with periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate (PA-TCH-SP). The phagocytic ability was evaluated by injecting colloidal carbon into the splenic artery. Reticular cells of the sheathed arteries were classified as type I and type II cells. Type I cells have a nucleus with scanty chromatin, and the cytoplasm reacts positively to PA-TCH-SP. The PA-TCH-SP-positive granules are considered to be subunits of beta-glycogen particles based on their morphological features. Type II cells have a nucleus with abundant chromatin and are not stained by PA-TCH-SP. Both types of reticular cells are connected with reticular fibers. Results of the colloidal carbon injection showed that type I reticular cells did not ingest carbon particles during the time frame of the experiment, whereas type II reticular cells are phagocytic and ingested carbon.
