Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The endocrine pancreas of Triturus cristatus carnifex was studied with the aid of immunocytochemical methods, showing cells immunoreactive to anti-insulin serum (B cells), a small population of cells immunoreactive to anti-glucagon serum only (A cells), rare cells positive to anti-PP serum only (PP or F cells), and a larger population of cells immunoreactive both to anti-glucagon and to anti-PP sera. B cells lied in the core of the islet, while the A/PP cells were located at the periphery, forming digitations extending into the exocrine parenchyma. D cells were present in small number in the islet while they were more numerous scattered in the exocrine parenchyma. A/PP cells as well as D cells showed one or two long cytoplasmic extensions often in contact with blood vessels.
