Summary

GRANULOCYTES HAVE BEEN FROZEN IN PURE SALINE. TWO TYPES OF INTRACELLULAR ICE FORMATION WERE DETERMINED, NAMELY: A DIFFUSE ICE FRONT (DARKENING) AND NO ICE FRONT. THE POSSIBLE SITES OF ICE FORMATION ARE DISCUSSED. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO DECIDE DEFINITELY IF THE MECHANISM OF INTRACELLULAR ICE FORMATION IS INITIATED EXTRACELLULARLY OR NOT. A HYPOTHESIS CONCERNING THE GROWTH OF EXTRACELLULAR ICE INTO THE CELL AND INITIATING INTRACELLULAR FREEZING IS PRESENTED.
