Intracellular localization of calcitonin in the C cells of the rat.
Specific localization of C cells at the electron microscope level was achieved by an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. The hormone is present in the electron dense granules. The presence of granules apparently devoid of calcitonin was also detected.
