| Résumé : | A new cell with relatively little cytoplasm has been identified in the second kind of follicle in the C3H mouse thyroid gland. It has as ultrastructural characteristics the presence of clusters of fiber in the cytoplasm, vesicles near the basal plasma membrane, and half desmosomes in the basal plasma membrane. It resembles the U cell found in the ultimobranchial follicle of the Fischer rat thyroid, but has a somewhat larger amount of granular reticulum. It is found in the follicle wall between other epithelial cells and the basement membrane, but occasionally is in contact with the lumen. It also occurs as a double layer in the follicle wall. Cell debris in the lumen of the follicle contains fibrils and may be the result of desquamation of this fibril‐containing cell. Copyright © 1972 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. |
