title: The use of horseradish peroxidase to demonstrate degenerate cells in rat larynx after acute tobacco smoke exposure.
abstract: Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was administered topically to laryngeal epithelia of rats exposed to tobacco smoke for a single 20-min period. The HRP demonstrated the distribution of degenerate and/or injured cells. These cells were specifically located in the ciliated epithelium in the ventrolateral region, at the base of the epiglottis.
