Abstract
In the thyroid glands of the horse, pig, deer, mole, and rat, C-cells could be demonstrated by means of the immunocytochemical PAP-technique using rabbit antisera against human calcitonin. Only in ruminants, the crossreaction between the intracellularly stored antigen and the antibodies used appeared to be incomplete.Keywords
