“…Orthogonal arrays of intramembrane particles similar to those described in the present paper also have been reported in a wide variety of other cells and tissues, including skeletal muscle fibers Smith et al, 1975;Ishikawa et al, 1975;Saito et al, 19841, cardiac myocytes (McNutt, 19751, renal epithelia (Humbert et a]., 1975;Nakamura and Nagano, 1985;Orci et al, 1981;Hatae, 1983), tracheal epithelia (Inoue and Hogg, 1977;Gordon, 1985), stomach parietal cells (Bordi and Perrelet, 19781, uterus (Robenek and Greven, 1980), gill epithelia (Bartels, 1984;Lane et al, 19871, eye lens fibers (Zampighi et al, 1982;Lo and Harding, 1984), and olfactory epithelia (Kerjaschki and Horandner, 1976;Usukura and Yamada, 1978;Miragall, 1983). The square shape of intramembrane particles also has been observed in olfactory receptor cells (Usukura and Yamada, 1978), olfactory supporting cells (Kerjaschki and Horandner, 1976), and renal collecting tubules (Nakamura and Nagano, 1985).…”
