The distribution of C-cells in the thyroid gland of the gerbil (Meriones inguiculatus) was studied on serial sections in the cranio-caudal direction. C-cells were visualized by immunofluorescence with an anti-calcitonin immune serum. A very heterogeneous distribution was found. C-cells first appear in the posterio-interior position. Then they progressively occupy the whole posterior part and finally are confined to the posterio-exterior position. No C-cells at all were detected in the upper and lower poles. According to the species, there is a wide variation in the relative distribution of C-cells in the thyroid gland. Our results add to the information available about the distribution of C-cells and its bearing on phylogenic evolution.
采用沿颅尾方向的连续切片，对长爪沙鼠（Meriones inguiculatus）甲状腺中C细胞的分布进行了研究。使用抗降钙素免疫血清通过免疫荧光法使C细胞可视化。结果发现其分布极不均匀。C细胞最初出现在后内侧位置。然后它们逐渐占据整个后部，最终局限于后外侧位置。在上极和下极未检测到任何C细胞。根据物种不同，甲状腺中C细胞的相对分布存在很大差异。我们的研究结果补充了有关C细胞分布及其系统发育进化关系的现有信息。
