Specific organization of intracytoplasmic filaments in the dog testicular interstitial cell

Cell and Tissue Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In the dog testicular interstitial cells the cytoplasmic filaments are occasionally arranged in large bundles piled closely in an extensive area adjacent to the Golgi region in the cytoplasm. Some of the large bundles show conspicuous circular or spiral configurations which are composed of elaborate arrangements of both circular and longitudinal filaments and accompany tubules of agranular endoplasmic reticulum running parallel to the longitudinal filaments.
