The prenatal development of endogenous peroxidase activity in the submandibular gland of rat was investigated by means of the diaminobenzidine-H2O2 histochemical method. The submandibular gland of a 16-day-old fetus was composed of cords of uniform, undifferentiated cells which contained no secretory granules and revealed no peroxidase activity. Peroxidase activity first appeared at the 17th day of gestation in the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope in a few cells. At the 18th day of gestation cells which exhibited reaction products in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope also contained secretory granules with a strong peroxidase activity. During the last days of gestation the number of peroxidase positive cells, which contained numerous secretory granules, increased. The peroxidase-containing cells are the immediate precursors of the proacinar cells of early postnatal stages. During the same time period, when the peroxidase-containing cells differentiated, a second cell type also differentiated in the cellular cords. The development of this cell type was marked by the appearance of secretory granules stainable with toluidine blue. Through the prenatal development, this cell type revealed no peroxidase activity and was identified with the terminal tubule cell of the newborn. The morphologic and cytochemical findings indicate that terminal tubule cells and proacinar cells are committed cells; the former differentiate toward 2nd order intercalated duct cells and the latter transform to mature acinar cells.
