Abstract
Eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusion bodies observed in the liver of a rabbit were round to oval with a clear halo and measured from 4 to 10 μm in diameter. They were nonglycogenic (PAS-positive after diastase treatment) and stained with burnt Sudan black, indicating bound lipid. The inclusion bodies, when examined by electron microscopy, were composed of a uniform amorphous material. They varied in size and density. It is suggested that the bodies were enlarged lysosomes and were nonviral.
