Summary
Intranuclear inclusions of three basic types are described in various parts of the rabbit adenohypophysis in vivo and in organ and cell cultures. These inclusions are mostly found in the postnatal tissue but occur in both glandular and non-glandular cells. A comparison is made with similar structures encountered elsewhere. Their significance is not known.
