We previously reported that no Kupffer cells reacted with the antibody against lysozyme, and Ito cells contained a large cytoplasmic vacuole in the feline liver. In this report, we further examined the characteristics of porcine and bovine hepatic non-parenchymal cells. In the liver of both animals, Kupffer cells were positive for lysozyme, and cytoplasmic vacuoles in Ito cells were small. The histopathological characteristics of porcine and bovine hepatic non-parenchymal cells were different from those of the feline liver.
