Abstract

The term “histiocytes” was first proposed by Kiyono (53) and Aschoff (3). They distinguished myeloid cells, lymphoid cells and histiocytes in terms of phagocytosis of in vivo administered lithium carmine. Histiocytes with active phagocytic ability are now considered to be derived from bone marrow monocytes as described later, but their fetal development still needs experimental elucidation. Fetal differentiation of histiocytes from fetal mesenchymal cells in the yolk sac was studied by Kiyono, and he observed that histioid cells showed transition between primitive endothelial cells and mononuclear lymphoid cells. This very early stage of hematopoiesis has not yet been studied by modern immunological methods, therefore the possibility that these primitive histioid cells could migrate to the whole body and stay there as facultative histiocytes should be reexamined, because phagocytic cells play an important role for organogenesis during fetal development, and usually these cells appear earlier than the complete development of myeloid cells and early hepatic hematogenesis mainly produces erythrocytes (105).
