Abstract
Nineteen spontaneous pancreatic islet cell tumors were studied in 26-month-old control Fischer 344 rats. Seventeen of 19 (89%) tumors demonstrated insulin reactivity using peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemistry. None of ten tumors had positive glucagon immunoreactivity. Immunocytochemical and ultrastructural observations suggested that spontaneous occurring islet cell tumors of F344 rats were composed exclusively of beta cells.Entities:
