    Abstract

    The ultrastructural localization of acid phosphatase has been studied in the stem cells of duodenal crypt of X-irradiated mice. After a transitional increase of the cytochemically detectable activity of this enzyme, in the first hours after irradiation, the reaction appears less and less important in the cells. These observations are in agreement with the morphological alterations of the ultrastructures provoked by the irradiation. The meaning of these modifications is discussed.
