Adult female guinea pigs received subcutaneous implants of diethylstilbestrol-cholestrol pellets which produced splenomegaly and increased numbers of splenic Kurloff cells. Latex spheres subsequently injected intravenously were not phagocytized by Kurloff cells within the lungs and spleen as examined with the electron microscope. This is considered as evidence that Kurloff cells are probably not phagocytic. The origin of these cells is discussed.
