✦ Synopsis

The histochemical test described here makes use of the Sakaguchi ( '25) reaction. I n this reaction a red color develops when a-naplithol, alkali and hypochlorite or hypobromite are added to a solution of arginine or a solution of a protein containing arginine. Poller ( 'as), Weber ('30) and Dumazert 'The author developed this test before learning of Serra's work.
