ABSTRACT Internalization of Listeria monocytogenes into human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC) has recently been demonstrated to be dependent upon the inlB gene. In the present scanning electron microscopic study we show that L. monocytogenes efficiently interacts with the surface of HBMEC in an inlB-independent manner which is also different from invasion. The inlB-dependent invasion of HBMEC by L. monocytogenes is accompanied by intracellular multiplication, movement, and production of bacterium-containing protrusions. These protrusions extend from the cell surface without perturbation of any adjacent cellular membrane.

ABSTRACT The ultrastructure of one hyperplastic and three adenomatous parathyroid glands have been described. Electron dense bodies measuring 0.08–0.5 microns in diameter and similar to those reported by Roth & Munger (1962) and Weymouth & Sheridan (1966) were described. These bodies were increased in number in the pathological glands, observed primarily at the vascular pole of the cell and frequently within the adjoining endothelial cells. Similar structures were found frequently within the mitochondria. In all probability, these electron dense bodies represent secretory material; the mitochondria play an intimate role in this metabolic process of secretion. Large, whorl-shaped structures, composed of concentric membranes, were also described. These structures may be of functional significance in hypersecreting glands, since they were observed in the pathological parathyroid glands only. »Transitional« cells were readily apparent.
