Abstract
Cultured rabbit kidney cells were exposed to uranyl acetate. This produced single-membrane-bound presumably lysosomal bodies (called 'uraniosomes') containing electron-dense crystals in the cultured cells. Similar crystalline deposits were seen in extracellular locations also. All uraniosomes and extracellular uranium deposits analyzed by electron-probe x-ray analysis were found to contain uranium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus. Traces of sulphur were detected in some but not all uraniosomes and extracellular uranium deposits.Entities:
