Abstract
Interdigitating cells in the thymus of the sea bass, Dicentrarchus lab
rax, occur principally in the internal zone and in the border with the
external zone. Ultrastructurally, the most characteristic cytological
features of these cells are their low electron density, complicated l
abyrinthine membrane-membrane contacts, scantiness of cytoplasmic orga
nelles, presence of Birbeck-like granules, juxtanuclear tubulo-vesicul
ar complex, and phagocytic capacity. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
