AN ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC HISTOCHEMICAL OBSERVATION ON LYSOSOMAL ACID PHOSPHATASE AND ARYLSULPHATASE IN THE HEPATOCYTE OF GUINEA PIG, PIGEON AND TOAD / 解剖学报

ABSTRACT

By using the cytochemical methods, the activity of lysosomal acid phosphatase (ACP) and arylsulphatase (ArSase) in liver cells of the three kinds of vertebrates, guinea pig, pigeon and toad, was observed. The results show that the distribution of the two enzymes has some difference in the hepatocytes of all three kinds of animals. There are four forms of ArSase localization in the dense bodies of hepatocytes. Furthermore the three kinds of animals have different ArSase localization characteristics. The biological significance of these phenomena was discussed.
