The secretory granules of the acinar cells of the mouse submaxillary gland

Abstract

Absence of membranes from the secretion granules of the acinar cells of the submaxillary gland of the mouse had led to speculation concerning mechanisms of secretion of these cells. By means of rapid perfusion fixation, smooth membranes have been identified around the secretion granules, and the mode of secretion proves to be similar to that of the other exocrine glands. The evidence suggests that potent membranolytic agents of unknown nature, capable of rapidly destroying the membranes are present in these secretory granules.
