Changes in Kupffer cells in mice given i.v. Indian ink were studied with EM. Kupffer and hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells took up Indian ink particles by pinocytosis. A few Ito cells and heptocytes ingested a small number of particles. The C particles were stored in cytoplasmic vacuoles in all cell types. Aggregates of Kupffer cells containing many vacuoles stuffed with C particles were seen in the sinusoidal lumen, Disse space and interlobular connective tissue space 3 and 4 days after injection, with Indian ink. One mo. after injection large clumps of aggregated Kupffer cells containing numerous C-filled vacuoles were distributed in the Disse space and other connective tissue spaces. The Kupffer cells in these clumps were in close contact and were partly fused with one another. After 3, 4 and 6 mo., large multinucleate foreign body giant cells with numerous large vacuoles containing densely-packed ink particles were seen throughout the liver tissue. They were probably formed by fusion of Kupffer cells. Some endothelial cells also stored ink particles in cytoplasmic vacuoles for as long as 6 mo. after injection.
