A METHOD FOR THE MICRODISSECTION OF INTACT PANCREATIC ISLETS OF MAMMALS

Abstract

ABSTRACT A technique for the dissection of fresh pancreatic islets of different mammalian species is described. Besides being suitable for microchemical analyses, the isolated islets seem of potential value for direct studies of the metabolism of the islet cells. The method has proved to be useful for the isolation of relatively large amounts of islet tissue for analytical purposes.
