title: Ultrastructural identification of calbindin-D28k-immunoreactive cells in the rat superficial pineal body.
abstract: The vitamin-D-dependent calcium-binding protein, calbindin-D28k, was detected immunocytochemically in the majority of pericapillary pinealocytes of the rat superficial pineal body. The interstitial cells were calbindin-negative. The significance of these findings is discussed.
