The isolation of single cells from the avian salt gland.
Collagenase, hyaluronidase, and trypsin were used to isolate single cells from the avian salt gland. Three cell types were distinquishable in the resultant cell suspension: peripheral, intermediate, and principal cells. The fine structure of these cells is described and related to the morphology of the intact gland.
