Acidophilic cell
In the broadest sense, an acidophilic cell is understood to be a cell that is acidophilic , that is, one that can be stained by acidic dyes such as eosin . In the anterior pituitary lobe , however, a distinction is usually made between acidophilic, basophilic and chromophobic cells. The acidophilic cells in the anterior pituitary gland include the somatropin- producing cells and the prolactin- producing cells, which, however, cannot be distinguished from one another in the histological section.
