The apical intercellular junctions between the hamster ovary surface epithelial cells were studied by freeze-fracture. The results showed tight junctions consisting of intertwining ridges on P faces and complementary furrows on E faces. Typical gap junctions, in the form of clusters of particles on P faces and complementary pits on E faces, were also observed associated with the tight junctional elements. Sometimes the gap junction are the outermost element of the junctional complexes. These observations explain data previously obtained in tracer experiments with lanthanum.
通过冷冻蚀刻技术研究了仓鼠卵巢表面上皮细胞间的顶端细胞连接。结果显示，紧密连接在P面由相互缠绕的嵴构成，在E面由互补的沟构成。典型的缝隙连接，在P面呈颗粒簇状，在E面呈互补的凹坑状，也被观察到与紧密连接元件相关联。有时缝隙连接是连接复合体的最外层元件。这些观察结果解释了先前用镧进行示踪实验所获得的数据。
