Ultrastructural identification of the Sertoli cell in the testis of the northern pike, Esox lucius.
Identification of the intralobular Sertoli cell in the testis of Esox lucius is based upon residual body phagocytosis. Formerly, this lipid-containing cell type was refereed to as the "lobule boundary cell" and erroneously believed to be homologous to the interstitial Leydig cell.
