    Notes: Histological observations using specialized techniques reveal neurosecretory cells in 18 centers throughout the rind (cortex) of the central nerve mass or synganglion of Dermacentor variabilis. Many cells contribute to complicated networks of neurosecretory pathways and tracts in pre- and post-esophageal portions of the synganglion. The four types of neurohemal-neuroendocrine associations found in Dermacentor resemble structures found in soft ticks (Argasidae) and in other Arachnida, but are more diverse than those described from any other single species. Neurosecretory terminals are distributed diffusely and in two concentrated associations within the perineurium of the synganglion and major peripheral nerves. Terminals are also distributed in the perineurial layers of lateral segmental organs which lie in the general hemocoel at the level of the pedal nerves. A retrocerebral organ complex surrounds the esophagus at its junction with the midgut. The complex includes dorsal and ventro-lateral lobes (containing neurosecretory terminals and intrinsic secretory cells) and the proventricular (neurohemal) plexus. This plexus seems to be a modified (concentrated) cardioglial association. Cardioglial associations are also formed by the neurosecretory innervation of vascular walls of the dorsal aorta and circulatory sinuses which envelope the synganglion and major peripheral nerves. Inferential considerations of neurosecretory and endocrine interactions in the Acari are based on these anatomical and histological data which also provide the basis for evolutionary considerations of anatomical relationships and specializations in the neurosecretory systems of other Arachnida.

    Notes: The antennae of the sawyer beetles Monochamus notatus and M. scutellatus were examined with the light and scanning electron microscopes to determine the types, number, distribution and innervation of the sense organs. Nine types of sensilla are described. Both short, thin-walled pegs (sensilla basiconica) and reversely curved thick-walled hairs (sensilla trichodea) are chemoreceptors. There are three types of long, thick-walled hairs (sensilla chaetica) which may be mechanoreceptors. One of these is modified in males to form unique snail-shaped pegs. A few dome-shaped organs, probably campaniform sensilla, were found.In addition to sense organs, many glands occur in association with the sensilla, and the antennae are well supplied with dermal glands connected by canals to small pores on the surface.

    Notes: The host-virus interactions of Simian virus 40 (SV40) and polyoma virus (Py) with cell lines established from a teratocarcinoma were studied. The cells utilized in this study were the multipotential stem cell of the teratocarcinoma, embryonal carcinoma, and differentiated cells derived from embryonal carcinoma. Several lines of differentiated cells were established in vitro which included parietal yolk sac, epithelial, and spindle cell types. Embryonal carcinoma cells are not susceptible to infection by either SV40 or Py virus. However, differentiated cells are susceptible to infection by these viruses. The differentiated cells are permissive for Py virus replication and nonpermissive for SV40. Several continuously growing cell lines have been established from the SV40 infected cultures which express T antigen in 100% of the cells. The results indicate that undifferentiated embryonal carcinoma cells and their differentiated progeny respond quite differently to challenge with these two oncogenic DNA viruses.

    Notes: The multiplication rate of sparse cultures of chick embryo cells is only slightly lower at pH 6.9 than at pH 7.4. There is, however, a marked reduction in the multiplication rate of the pH 6.9 cultures before they reach confluency. Cultures at pH 7.4 continue to multiply beyond confluency with only a slight decrease in the multiplication rate.Eighty to ninety percent of the glucose taken up by the cells growing at each pH is converted to lactic acid which is released into the medium. Metabolic reduction in pH of the medium is almost entirely accounted for by the amount of lactic acid produced by the cells. Neither the intracellular nor extracellular accumulation of lactic acid nor the accompanying reduction in pH is sufficient to explain density dependent inhibition of the rate of multiplication of chick cells.The rate of lactic acid production and the multiplication rate of chick cells are independent of glucose concentration in the range of 2-16 mM. In view of the kinetic parameters for the uptake of glucose, this shows that glycolysis is not limited by the rate of glucose uptake and that depletion of glucose from the medium cannot account for the onset of density dependent inhibition of multiplication. However, when cells reach very high population densities, conventional glucose concentrations of 5 mM can be depleted overnight by chick cells. Since the multiplication rate of cells is dependent on glucose concentration when it falls below 2 mM, depletion of glucose may cause some growth inhibition in crowded cultures supplied with conventional medium.

    Notes: C57BL bone marrow cells were separated on the basis of their sedimentation velocity at unit gravity and cell fractions cultured in agar using three types of colony stimulating factor (CSF). Colony-forming cells separated as a single peak (s = 4.4 mm/hr) in cultures stimulated by mouse lung conditioned medium (CSFMLCM) or endotoxin serum (CSFES). Clusterforming cells were separable into two peaks and the majority were larger than colony-forming cells (s = 5.7 mm/hr). Partial segregation of colony-forming cells was observed according to the morphological types of colonies generated, large cells tending to generate macrophage colonies and small cells, granulocytic colonies. Large colony-forming cells were more responsive to stimulation by CSF than small cells. Human urine (CSFHU) appeared unable to stimulate the proliferation of most small colony-forming cells.Colony-forming cells appear to be a highly heterogeneous population with intrinsic differences in responsiveness to CSF and with differing capacities to generate colonies whose cells differentiate to granulocytes of macrophages.

    Notes: Phenotypic sexual differentiation during embryogenesis is a complex process involving the action of at least 18 genes. These genes regulate gonadal differentiation, gonadal hormone formation, and in the male the cellular action of three necessary hormones, namely müllerian regression factor, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone. Analysis of two of the mutations affecting sexual development is consistent with the thesis that the two androgens testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have separate and specific roles in virilization of the male urogenital tract, testosterone stimulating wolffian duct development and dihydrotestosterone mediating development of the urogenital sinus and external genitalia. In the disorder familial incomplete male pseudohermaphroditism, type 2, deficient dihydrotestosterone formation is associated with a selective failure of virilization of the urogenital sinus and external genitalia, whereas the wolffian duct derivatives develop normally. On the other hand, in the testicular feminization syndrome there is a complete failure in the development of the male phenotype, indicating that the primary defect involves an abnormality in some biochemical step that is common to the action of both androgens. Evidence from studies in the submandibular gland of the mouse with testicular feminization suggests that the fundamental defect lies in the translocation and/or nuclear binding of the cytoplasmic androgen receptor. It remains to be proven whether these events in the postnatal, sexually dimorphic submandibular gland of the testicular feminization mouse reflect prenatal events occurring in the urogenital tissues during embryogenesis.

    Notes: The inclusion of DMSO in the media of suspension cultures of Friend erythroleukemia cells results in the erythroid differentiation of these cells. The studies reported here were directed towards answering two questions: (1) How long an exposure to DMSO is necessary to induce the differentiation of these cells; and (2) What is the fate of the differentiating cells when DMSO is removed from the medium. Exposure to DMSO for less than 24 hours failed to produce any detectable evidence of erythroid differentiation. On the other hand, culture in the presence of DMSO for 24 hours followed by culture in DMSO-free medium for four additional days produced a small but detectable increment in the proportion of benzidine positive cells in the culture. Once the differentiation of an individual cell was initiated, the process continued after removal of DMSO from the medium. The cell became progressively more differentiated as evidenced by increases in the intensity of benzidine staining as well as in the rate of heme synthesis and heme content. However, when cells which had been induced to differentiate by DMSO were cultured in DMSO-free medium for more than 3-4 days, they became vacuolated and apparently died. This latter phenomenon, as well as the more rapid proliferation of the undifferentiated cells in the culture, accounts for the observation that when new cultures are established from cultures which have been grown in the presence of DMSO for several days, the culture which results ultimately contains only differentiated cells.

    Notes: Anucleate HTC cells have been used to determine the importance of the nucleus in the regulation of the intracellular levels of tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) in hepatoma tissue culture (HTC) cells. In the absence of the nucleus, neither the induction of the enzyme by dexamethasone nor its deinduction upon removal of the hormone occurs. Degradation of the enzyme takes place when protein synthesis is inhibited in anucleates by cycloheximide. Therefore, the maintenance of induced levels of enzyme activity after dexamethasone withdrawal from pre-induced anucleates suggests that the nucleus is required for the inactivation of the TAT mRNA.

    Notes: Low (5 × 10-9 M to 10-7 M) acetylcholine concentrations cause a calcium-independent stimulation of the initiation of DNA synthesis and proliferation of lymphoblasts which are part of rat thymocyte populations suspended in vitro. A much higher (5 × 10-5 M) acetylcholine concentration also stimulates lymphoblast DNA synthesis and proliferation, but this action is calcium-dependent. This proliferogenic response to acetylcholine is however not clearly mediated by either cyclic GMP or cyclic AMP.

    Notes: Studies with untransformed fibroblasts demonstrate that growth of these cells in culture can be limited by the availability of both growth surface and medium components. Experiments using cells grown on coverslips, in which the only variable was available growth surface, indicate that when the medium to cell ratio is high, surface area is the principal factor limiting growth. At low medium to cell ratios, however, growth of cells is predominantly limited by medium components. The final number of cells per culture is almost directly proportional to available surface area when the culture medium is changed daily.
