Immunocytochemical reaction for demonstration of calbindin D-28K has been performed in superficial pineal bodies of the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) and the rat. Whereas in the Mongolian gerbil there were no clearly expressed calbindin immunoreactive cells, these were numerous in the rat pineal body. Here the calbindin-positive cells - probably pinealocytes - were disposed along capillaries. In view of the role of calbindin in binding and transporting calcium and regulating its intracellular levels, the absence of this protein in the gerbil pineal body has been interpreted as signifying the inability of pinealocytes to eliminate intracellular calcium with possible consequent formation of acervuli.
已在长爪沙鼠（Meriones unguiculatus）和大鼠的松果体浅层进行了用于显示钙结合蛋白D - 28K的免疫细胞化学反应。在长爪沙鼠中，没有明显表达钙结合蛋白免疫反应性的细胞，而在大鼠松果体中却有许多这样的细胞。在这里，钙结合蛋白阳性细胞——可能是松果体细胞——沿着毛细血管分布。鉴于钙结合蛋白在结合和转运钙以及调节其细胞内水平方面的作用，长爪沙鼠松果体中这种蛋白质的缺失被解释为意味着松果体细胞无法消除细胞内的钙，可能会因此形成凝集体。
