Kallikrein was located in the apical portion of the striated duct cells of the cat's submandibular gland by an immunohistochemical technique. This portion only of these cells showed an intense band of specific fluorescence. There was no evidence of specific fluorescence in the acinar and demilune cells nor in the interstitial tissue or blood besells. In some sections the collecting ducts showed a very fine fluorescent luminal rim.
