Abstract
Sections of frozen-dried stomach mucosa of the rabbit cut at various levels from the surface were analyzed for esterase activity in relation to the proportions of cell types present. Aside from the fraction attributable to extracellular esterase all the esterase activity appears to be in proportion to the numbers of foveolar and neck mucous cells present in the sample.
