Distribution of argyrophilic proteins in the nuclei of hepatocytes

S Orkisz et al. Folia Histochem Cytobiol. 1991.

Abstract

The ultrastructural study on the distribution of argyrophilic proteins of hepatocytes was carried out. Because it has been suggested that the numbers of silver grains were connected with transcriptional activity of nucleoli, we used in our studies as a model the regenerating liver. Among extranucleolar structures affinity to silver interchromatin granules and weakly perichromatin granules was demonstrated. Deposits of silver grains were always located within dense fibrillar components and fibrillar centers. Our study does not enable to indicate a direct relationship between numbers of silver grains deposits and transcriptional activity of nucleoli.
