Characteristics of mature deer monocyte-derived macrophages. (A) Monocyte-derived macrophages stained positive (black) for α-naphthyl esterase at day 7 of culture (20X magnification). This enzyme is detected primarily in monocytes and macrophages and is virtually absent from granulocytes and other leukocytes, confirming that these adherent cells derived from deer blood are of a monocytic lineage. (B) Ziehl-Nielsen stain of deer MDM (blue nucleus) which has phagocytosed MAP bacilli; red, acid-fast microorganisms (100X magnification).
