| Research Abstract |
I hypothesized that rat parotid cell can take amylase from lumen to make secretory granule. I examined that whether parotid gland take color dye into granules by endocytosis, and that whether the dye can be detected in living cells. In this study, I succeeded in detection of fluorescence in immature granules. This result expects visualization of secretory granules. Next, I will examine granule maturation and exocytosis using that method.
