Abstract excerpt
Mast cells in jejunum, skin, and tongue of Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) were examined in terms of their histochemical, enzyme-histochemical, and ultrastructural properties. When glycosaminoglycans of mast cells in jejunum and tongue were characterized by measuring the critical electr...
