title: Cytochemical detection of endogenous peroxidase in the intralobular ducts of hamster major salivary glands.
abstract: Light and electron microscopic cytochemical investigation of endogenous peroxidase activity in the intralobular ducts of hamster major salivary glands was carried out using the diaminobenzidine-hydrogen peroxidase method. The peroxidase reaction product was localized in the nuclear envelope, the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus and secretory granules in both the intercalated duct cells and the striated duct light cells of all glands. These results suggest the ability of the intralobular duct cells to secrete peroxidase the same as that of acinar cells in hamster salivary glands.
