Abstract:The surface binding characteristics and permeability properties of the endothelium of secondary lamellae from the gills of several species of marine teleosts were investigated by introducing cationized ferritin and native ferritin into the microcirculation under normal environmental conditions. Neither type of ferritin bound to the luminal surface of the gill endothelium. No transcellular movement of cationized ferritin was detected, either via transendothelial channels or individual vesicles, nor was passage … Show more
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.
