Localization of human pancreatic polypeptide in an argyrophilic fourth cell type in islets of the rat pancreas

M R Schweisthal et al. Am J Anat. 1978 Jun.

Abstract

An argyrophilic fourth cell type in the rat pancreatic islet can be differentiated from other silver-staining cells by using a modification of the Grimelius aqueous silver nitrate technique. Restaining of the tissues using fluorescent techniques with anti-HPP (Human Pancreatic Polypeptide) serum results in bright fluorescence in the fourth cell type.
