Özet

The purpose of our study was to determine the percentages of alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE)and acid phosphatase (ACP)-positive peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), the presence of the ANAE and ACP enzymes in leukocytes, and the proportion of PBL in greyhounds. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the cephalic antebrachial vein of 14 (7 animals of each sex) healthy 1-2-year-old greyhounds. Mean percentages of ANAE-positive PBL were found to be 73.29 +/- 0.95% in female and 74.29 +/- 2.21% in male dogs. The difference between mean values of the genders was not statistically significant. The ACP values were 36.00 +/- 2.94% for females and 33.57 +/- 2.15% for males. No significant differences were found with regard to gender. For both enzymes, although monocytes and eosinophilic granulocytes displayed a positive reaction, neutrophils gave negative reactions. The proportion of PBL was 36.29 +/- 5.31% and 33.00 +/- 2.38 % in female and male dogs, respectively. The differences were not significant.
