| Method | Mexican toads (Bufo marinus) were maintained on wet peat moss. Toads were killed by decapitation and excised urinary hemibladders were mounted on PE-190 polyethylene tubing (Becton Dickinson & Co., Parsippany, N J), serosa side out, using 3-0 silk suture. Endocytic vesicle morphology was studied by preparing the microsomal pellet using horseradish peroxidase (10 mg/ml, type II Sigma Chemical Co.) |
