[Ultrastructural analysis of reactive changes in the exo- and endocrine epithelium of embryonal pancreas in organ cultures].

The purpose of the work was to study reactive changes of endocrine and exocrine epithelii of the rat embryonic pancreas in organic culturation. The culturation was carried out at 34 degrees C and in the nutritional mixture of the following composition: medium 199--70%, cattle serum--20%, chicken embryo extract--10%, glucose--400 mg/100 ml, vitamin "C"--7 mg/100 ml, benzilpenicillin--50 U/ml. Three series of experiments were carried out with cultivation of the pancreatic gland of 18, 19 and 20-day-old embryos for 4--28 days.
