The origin and renewal of the argentaffin cells in the pyloric glands of hamsters were studied by flash, cumulative and pulse labelling autoradiography with3H-thymidine. The argentaffin cells were identified by the Diazo Method using Fast Red B Salt.By flash labelling autoradiography, it was shown that the argentaffin cells located from the middle to the lower level of the pyloric mucosa were not labelled with3H-thymidine, indicating that this cell type has no proliferative activity. On the 10th and the 20th day of cumulative labelling, 31% and 63% of the argentaffin cells in the gland were found to be labelled, respectively. The labelled argentaffin cells were concentrated in the upper part of the gland (around the region of the isthmus), and no label was found over nuclei of the cells at the lowermost level of the gland. These labelled cells were shown to undergo a downward migration in the days following pulse labelling. They were replaced by unlabelled (and weakly or very weakly labelled) cells which arose at the region of the isthmus. The argentaffin cells in the pyloric gland are thought to arise from epithelial precursor cells at the region of the isthmus.The labelled argentaffin cells in the gland were found to decrease in number almost exponentially after pulse labelling. This indicates that the life span of argentaffin cells is not fixed, but their renewal conforms to the “random loss system”. The half time of turnover of this cell population was 15 days on average.
