The Ultrastructure of Free Intestinal Cells Isolated eith EDTA

Summary

A brief electron microscopic study of free rat intestinal cells, isolated with the calcium chelator EDTA is given. The cells appeared morphologically intact, as was shown by nigrosin-staining. The junctional complexes were modified or lost.
