    Notes: Summary Immunocytochemical double staining techniques were used to study PP- and glucagon-like-immunoreactivity in pancreatic endocrine cells of mouse. An antiserum against FMRFamide appeared to react with all PP-immunoreactive endocrine cells. With fluorescence microscopy most PP/FMRFamide-immunoreactive cells also showed glucagon-immunoreactivity, but cells containing only PP-or glucagon-like substances were found as well. The proportion of cells containing PP-, glucagon, and both immunoreactivities varied strongly from islet to islet in all parts of the pancreas. Using an electron microscopical immunogold double staining procedure on Lowicryl-embedded pancreas, PP/FMRFamide-and glucagon-immunoreactivity appeared to be present in the majority of endocrine A cells; both immunoreactivities were randomly distributed within the granules of these cells. Cells containing only PP/FMRFamide-or glucagon-immunoreactivity were also found. Glucagon-and a faint FMRFamide-immunoreactivity was also observed in osmicated epon-embedded tissue. Independent of their immunoreactivity all positive cells showed the same round electron dense secretory granules.

    Notes: Abstract Insulin (B)-, somatostatin 25 (SST-25) (D1)-, somatostatin 14 (SST-14) (D2)-, glucagon (A)-, and glucagon PP/PYY/NPY (PP-like)-immunoreactive cells in islets of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were characterized according to their ultrastructure and immunogold labeling. Cells labeled with antisera to bonito and salmon insulin had numerous secretory granules with a small halo and round core, and a few with wide halo and round or crystalloid core. Gold particles were found throughout the granule in tissue labeled with the former but only in the core in tissue labeled with the latter. D1 cells had large granules with a medium electron-dense content and some with a darker core. D2 had smaller medium or high electron-dense secretory granules than D1 cells, located mainly in cell periphery. Glucagon-immunoreactive cells contained some granules with a polygonal core that was heavily labeled and other granules with a round core with no or hardly any labeling. Glucagon and PP-like immunoreactivity were co-localized in secretory granules, in which the gold particles showed no different distribution with the various antisera used. PYY-immunoreactive granules were also found in nerve endings. All the pancreatic endocrine cell types showing involutive characteristics are found.
