As is known, the cellular infiltrate obtained in the rabbit cornea consists exclusively of small pseudo-eosinophilic multinucleated cells, sharply different from human leukocytes. With this in mind, the author implanted pieces of rabbit cornea under the skin of the human shoulder. Studying, then, these sections in a series of slices, he never encountered a single human leukocyte in the corneal infiltrate, but only pseudo-eosinophilic histiocytes. Hence the author sees in the corneal cell infiltration an exclusively histiocytic reaction.
