Rodlet cells in the caudal region of the intestine showed comparable cytoplasmic granulation (Fig. Mallory trichrome stains. Rodlet cells were immunostained positively against TNF- and S100 antibodies, indicating that they have an immune function. Conclusions: Rodlet cells, with their neutral glycoprotein secretions, play a crucial role in the immunity of Binni fish intestine. 0.05).
