Fine structure and nature of the crystalloid intranuclear and intracytoplasmic inclusions in dog cauda epididymidis

Crystalloid inclusions are found both in nuclei and cytoplasm of epithelial cells in the dog cauda epididymidis. They are made up of layers of parallel filaments which form a 90° angle from a layer to the next one. The crystalloids are never surrounded with a membrane. Enzyme digestions on ultrathin...

Summary:Crystalloid inclusions are found both in nuclei and cytoplasm of epithelial cells in the dog cauda epididymidis. They are made up of layers of parallel filaments which form a 90° angle from a layer to the next one. The crystalloids are never surrounded with a membrane. Enzyme digestions on ultrathin sections show that they are proteinaceous in nature.
