A new endothelial cell structure, named the endothelial pocket, has been found by combined transmission and scanning electron microscopic studies of renal peritubular capillaries. Transmission EM observations made on these and other fenestrated capillaries demonstrated that each pocket consists of an attenuated fold of fenestrated endothelium that projects 200 nm into the lumen above the rest of the endothelial surface. Beneath this luminal fold, there is a space and then another layer of fenestrated endothelium which abuts the basal lamina. The linear density of endothelial pockets was measured in the capillaries of the kidney cortex, intestinal mucosa and exocrine pancreas in mice and determined to be 0.067, 0.017 and 0.007 pockets·μm-1respectively. Cationic ferritin decoration of the anionic sites on the luminal surface of the endothelium in these capillary beds revealed that both unlabelled and labelled diaphragms are clustered. In such specimens, the majority of the luminal diaphragms on endothelial pockets did not have cationic ferritin binding sites detectable by either scanning or transmission EM. On this account as well as on account of their general morphology, endothelial pockets appear to be multifold versions of the simple transendothelial channel.
