Morphological aspects of endocrine cells in human fetal gastrointestinal mucosa. Microscopical, electronmicroscopical and immunohistochemical studies.

This paper describes the morphological features and distribution of endocrine cells in the human fetal gastrointestinal mucosa between the 8-9th and the 36th the weeks of gestation. We used techniques of argentic impregnation, techniques with chromogranine and neuron specific enolase, electronmicroscopical techniques and immunohistochemical techniques as well (PAP and ABC) with antibodies for G ce…
