Studies were done on 3 wild species of rodents: field voles (Microtus agrestis, Linnaeus 1761), bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus, Schreber 1780), and forest mice (Apodemus flavicollis, Melchior 1834). Immunocytochemical reactions were used to detect calcitonin (CT), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), chromogranin A (CgA) in the thyroid parafollicular (C) cells in all species examined. Antisera to human CT, rat CGRP, bovine CgA, rat NSE and human NSE give probably a positive reaction in all C cells in the rodents examined. However, in the NSE determining reaction, much feebler positive C cells were observed. Individual variation in respect of shape and distribution of C cells was observed in all species. In forest mice the C cells resembled in shape the C cells previously described in mouse and rat. In field voles and bank voles the C cells were assembled into small groups more often than in forest mice. Antibodies (anti-human CT, anti-rat CGRP, anti-bovine CgA, anti-rat NSE and anti-human NSE) used by us were good markers of C cells in the thyroids of the 3 species of free-living rodents examined.
