[Electron microscopic study of intracellular digestion in intestinal cells of the ixodid tick Hyalomma asiaticum. I. Formation of primary and secondary lysosomes].
The formation of primary and secondary lysosomes in digestive cells of midgut of the tick H. asiaticum was investigated using ultracytochemical methods for acid phosphatase. This enzyme is synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae to be concentrated in the Golgi complex. Vesicles 0.1-0.15 mum in diameter filled with the enzyme are propagated from the distal Golgi cisternae which are primary lysosomes. Secondary lysosomes are produced in result of fusion of primary lysosomes with heterophagosomes that appear during endocytosis. Another type of structures responsible for transport of lysosomal enzymes into heterophagosomes is represented by dense bodies 0.3-0.5 mum in size. These are rich in acid phosphatase being different stages of heterophagolysosomes and telolysosomes.
