Lysosomal enzymes in oocytes of the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus.
Histochemical investigations reveal that the intact oocytes of the Mongolian gerbil. Meriones unguiculatus, contain numerous acid phosphatase positive granules in every follicular stage. Non-specific esterase is active in early oocytes only in a faint peripheral margin of the ooplasm and in the zona pellucida of large secondary and tertiary follicles.
