Abstract
The presence of cells containing N-acetylindolylalkylamines in the acini of the pancreas, at the boundary between the adrenal cortex and medulla, beneath the capsule of the liver, and in the wall of blood vessels was demonstrated by an immunohistochemical method using specific antisera against melatonin and N-acetylserotonin. Further investigations are necessary for the morphological identification of the type of these cells.
