A technique of preparation of ultrathin sections of liver tissue infected with mycobacteria, concretely of Kupffer cells containing Mycobacterium avium, was described. Satisfactory preservation of the ultrastructure of both liver and mycobacteria was achieved by a modification of sampling, dehydration and Vestopal-embedding procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
