title: Immunocytochemical localisation of the carbonic anhydrase III in the rat parotid gland.
abstract: Immunohistochemical localisation of the carbonic anhydrase III isozyme in rat parotid glands was studied. In parotid glands, CA-III was found to be present in the striated and excretory duct cells with heterogenous staining. No significant activity could be found in other regions of the glands. Ultrastructurally, the reaction of anti-CA-III isozyme was noted to occur diffusely in the cytoplasm of the cells.
