title: Histochemical differentiation of endocrine gastrointestinal cells in test animals, with special reference to chicken embryos.
abstract: Based upon the characteristics of argent-affinity and argyrophilia and the application of specific immune histochemical methods, endocrine cells can be differentiated in the most prominent species of test animals. These methods are demonstrated in chicken embryos, because embryological studies made in order to reveal the still unknown endodermal or neuroectodermal origin of these cells are highly important.
