Extract

Oral and subcutaneous administration of the compounds aminopropyl-aminostyrylmethoxyquinoline trihydrochloride and o-β-diethylaminoethyl harmol hydrochloride causes the appearance of peculiar bodies in the blood cells of canaries and mice.

The bodies are irregular in shape and size, stain intensely blue with Leish-man's and Giemsa's stains, and are most numerous in erythrocytes, but occur also in eosinophiles, leucocytes and reticulo-endothelial cells.

The bodies show no cytological structure, are not seen to undergo multiplication, and are not transmissible by blood inoculation.

They are apparently non-living inclusions in the blood cells caused by the action of these two chemical compounds.
