Tissue basophils situating in the connective tissue layer of the human visceral peritoneum have been studied. Their histochemical characteristic depends on the fact, to what tissue structure the serous membrane adjoins. Near mesothelium of the visceral peritoneum, contacting with the muscular tunic, two varieties of tissue basophils are revealed. The cells of the first variety positively react to heparin, those of the second variety--to heparin, protein, to neutral and/or sealo-containing carbohydrate components. Near mesothelium of the serous membrane, adjoining epithelial or connective tissue structures, tissue basophils of the first variety only are situated.
