Summary
The nuclear inclusion is described in the epithelial cell lining in the oviduct of the ‘laying’ hen. The majority of them show a layered structure in respect of variation of electron density. Some are situated in the centre of the nucleus, others in the nuclear membrane and similar bodies were observed in the cytoplasm of other cells. The nature of these inclusions is discussed including the possibility that they represent a form of nuclear secretion.
