Detergent-Induced Changes in the Protein Constituents of Various Cell Types of Opercular Epidermis of Rita rita

摘要

Fish （Rita rita） were exposed to an anionic detergent, dodecylbenzene sodium sulfonate, at a concentration of 6.9mg/liter (96-hr LC50 of the detergent).A series of histochemical techniques, used in this study for the demonstration of various protein constituents, indicated a gradual decrease in the intensity of staining reactions of the cytoplasmic material, suggesting a loss of protein moieties from the club cells and the epithelial cells of the opercular epidermis as a result of detergent exposure. 1990 Academic Press.Inc.
