title: The isolation of single cells from the avian salt gland.
abstract: 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.
