AB - Abstract Using tannic acid stain, the effect of periodic acid upon elastic fibers was investigated. By prolonged treatment with periodic acid, elastic fibers of the rabbit carotid artery revealed a fibrillar network that consisted of fine fibrils approximately 4 nm in diameter. This finding is interpreted to be the result of removal of tannic acid-reactive materials with which the elastin substructure was previously masked. Similar features were observed after prolonged treatment with osmium tetroxide, as indicated by Cliff. Taking these two treatments into account, the elastin substructure was discussed. elastin substructure, rabbit carotid artery, tannic acid-reactive materials, periodic acid, osmium tetroxide This content is only available as a PDF. © 1982 Oxford University Press
