Abstract
Serous granules in the human parotid gland have a well-defined substructure, consisting of a dense spherule suspended in a moderately dense matrix. Immunogold labeling with an antibody against carbonic anhydrase VI revealed that this enzyme is localized within the matrix and is absent from the spherule. This location matches that of a number of other salivary gland proteins. Cell organelles involved in the secretory pathway are devoid of label. Labeling was not observed in any ductular component of the gland.
