title: Freeze-fracture aspects of the perineurium of spinal ganglia.
abstract: The internal portion of the capsule of the spinal ganglia of rabbit is composed of continuous superimposed layers of flattended cells (perineurium). In replicas, extensive meshworks of strands, presumably forming zonulae occludentes, are found between the perineurial cells of the same layer. Adjacent layers are joint by maculae occludentes located on the lateral processes of the perineurial cells. Occasionally small gap junctions lie within the meshes of the zonulae occludentes.
