Summary Specific PgI antibodies devoid of PgII cross reactivity have been applied to aldehyde-osmium fixed human, fundic-type, gastric mucosa investigated with the protein A-immunogold technique. PgI immunoreactivity has been detected in the homogeneous secretory granules of glandular chief cells, in bipartite granules of mucous-neck cells, in the granules of cells showing intermediate patterns and topography in between chief and mucous-neck cells (transitional cells), as well as in the granules of a few cells in the foveolar/mucous-neck boundary zone showing mixed foveolar/mucous-neck granule populations. The findings support progressive transformation of mucous-neck cells into chief cells.
