Myrosin grains

Transmission electron microscopy analyses of ultrathin sections have indicated that there are several vacuoles in myrosin cells of embryos. These vacuoles contain myrosinase, as revealed by immunogold labelling studies, and have been referred to as myrosin grains.40, 1 Recently, confocal laser scanning immuno-microscopy analysis with the anti-myrosinase monoclonal antibody 3D7 has been...
