| Research Abstract |
Lysosomes are Organelles essential for the degradation of biological components, and contain soluble acid hydrolases as well as lysosomal membrane proteins.Secretory lysosomes referred to as lytic granules are present in cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. In this study novel molecular probes using lysosomal membrane proteins were constructed for the visualization and purification of secretory lysosomes such as lytic granules and the intracellular localization of these molecular probes on various types of cells was analyzed.
