Abstract

Abstract Clear cells aggregated on the tip of crista profunda intermedia (CPI) are deduced to be Merkel cells (MK) by summarizing the results reported by previous authors. Among epidermal clear cells, only MKs stain positively with the Abidin‐Biotin‐Peroxydase Complex (ABC) method for neuron‐specific enolase (NSE).
