title: Trypsin-like immunoreactivity in human Paneth cells.
abstract: Human intestinal Paneth cells characterized by their content of lysozyme were shown to contain cationic trypsin immunoreactivity. This trypsin-like immunoreactivity was shown in the Paneth cells at their normal localization at the basis of the crypts of Lieberkühn and also in Paneth cells of metaplastic areas in gastric mucosa. This original finding is a further indication of a resemblance between Paneth and acinar pancreatic cells.
