    Notes: Abstract DNA segments containing GT/AC dinucleotide repeats in the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) genome were screened. Thirteen transformedE. coli colonies were identified with the (GT)10 probe to have chimpanzee DNA fragments containing (GT)n repeats. These potentially polymorphic (variable n) DNA segments were sequenced. Primers for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifying these DNA segments were designed. Six pairs of primers yielded polymorphic PCR products. Three of them revealed considerable length polymorphisms and heterozygosities in a group of captive chimpanzees. For studies on chimpanzees in the wild and in captivity, these primers should be useful for paternity testing, for investigating genetic variations, and for improving the genetic maintenance of breeding colonies. The strategy adopted in the present study to obtain PCR primers amplifying polymorphic microsatellite DNA segments may well be applicable to almost all eukaryotic organisms.

    Chimpanzee microsatellite PCR primers applied to paternity testing in a captive colony (1993)

    Notes: Abstract Previously designed primers for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifying microsatellite DNA segments containing GT/AC dinucleotide repeats in the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) genome were used for paternity testing in a breeding colony in captivity. Combinations of three PCR primers identified the fathers of all the tested 40 chimpanzees born in an eight-year period. The results suggested: (1) a positive (though not conclusive) correlation between male rank and number of offspring; (2) choice of mating partners by the female rather than by the male; and (3) absence of stable mating pairs over the years. For studies of chimpanzees in captivity and in the wild, these primers should be useful for paternity testing, for investigating genetic variations, and for improving genetic maintenance of breeding colonies.

    Notes: Abstract The mating behaviour and reproductive success of male Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) were studied in relation to the female sexual cycles, which were monitored from the plasma profiles of gonadotropins and ovarian hormones. Based on observations of the mating behaviour during four successive mating seasons and paternity identification by DNA fingerprinting in 35 out of 37 offspring born in the subsequent birth seasons, the correlations between (1) male dominance rank and timing of mating, and (2) male dominance rank and reproductive success were examined. The results may be summarized as follows. (1) The number of copulations with ejaculation by any male was positively correlated with the male dominance rank, but not with the identified numbers of offspring fathered by each male. (2) Males could not choose ovulatory females as mating partners: the number of copulations with ejaculation with females during ovulatory weeks was not related to the male's rank. Monopolized copulations in consortship were mostly observed between high-ranking males and non-lactating parous females after conception. (3) Paternity testing showed that the male copulating most frequently with a female was not the identified father in 11 out of 15 cases. Prediction of the fathers of offspring was difficult even from the number of copulations occurring at around the estimated time of ovulation. An adaptive explanation of these correlations is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract DNA polymorphisms in the ψβ1-β-globin gene region in nine Asian macaques(Macaca fuscata, M. mulatta, M. nemestrina, M. cyclopis, M. fascicularis, M. arctoides, M. radiata, M. maura, andM. assamensis) were examined using several restriction endonucleases and the human ψβ1, δIVS2, and βIVS2 probes. TheBamHI site 3′ to the β-globin gene was polymorphic inM. fuscata andM. mulatta, while the HincII site and the EcoRI site in the ψβ1-globin gene region was highly polymorphic inM. fuscata andM. mulatta, respectively. These polymorphic sites also seem to be present in other Asian macaques. The present study of the polymorphism at theBamHI site 3′ to the β-globin gene in Asian macaques supports, at the nuclear DNA level, the idea that thefascicularis group includingM. fuscata, M. mulatta, M. cyclopis, andM. fascicularis is different from other Asian macaque groups.

    Notes: Abstract DNA polymorphisms in the ε- and γ-globin gene regions in nine Asian macaques(Macaca fuscata, M. mulatta, M. nemestrina, M. cyclopis, M. fascicularis, M. arctoides, M. radiata, M. maura, andM. assamensis) were examined using several different restriction endonucleases and the human ε and γIVS2 probes.M. fuscata andM. mulatta had highly polymorphic sites(BglII andHincII, respectively) in the ε-globin gene region. TheBamHI site in the γ-globin gene region was highly polymorphic inM. mulatta, while theBglII andHindIII sites in the γ-globin gene region were highly polymorphic inM. fuscata andM. mulatta. The presence of the γ-globin gene triplication was frequently observed inM. fuscata. The gain or loss of an additionalBglII site between two γ-globin genes in Asian macaques seems to be very meaningful for discussing genetic relationships among them.

    Coexistence of substance P, neuropeptide Y, VIP, and CGRP in the nerve fibers of the carotid labyrinth of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana: a double-labelling immunofluorescence study in combination with alternate consecutive sections (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Double immunohistochemical staining with rhodamine- and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated antisera revealed the coexistence of substance P (SP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY), and SP and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in most nerve fibers in the intervascular stroma of the carotid labyrinth of the bull-frog, Rana catesbeiana, although there were a few fibers which showed only SP- or NPY-immunoreactivity. Approximately one third of SP-immunoreactive fibers also showed coexistence with vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-immunoreactivity, and a few fibers contained VIP without SP. The combination of the double immunofluorescence technique and alternate consecutive sections further demonstrated the possible coexistence of SP, VIP, NPY, and CGRP. This coexistence of four different peptides in the same nerve fibers was proved by the following two evident facts: 1) some SP fibers which demonstrated coexistence with NPY-immunoreactivity were assumed to be continuous with those showing VIP-immunoreactivity, and 2) almost all of the SP fibers showed coexistence with CGRP-immunoreactivity. By this reasoning, nearly one third of SP fibers may demonstrate coexistence with NPY-, VIP-, and CGRP-immunoreactivities. These multiple peptides might be involved in vascular regulatory function, which is a possible function of the amphibian carotid labyrinth.

    Notes: Abstract Indirect double immunofluorescence labelling in the pharynx and lung of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, demonstrated the occurrence, distribution, and coexistence of two neuropeptides. In the pharynx, immunoreactive calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) were localized in nerve fibers distributed within and just beneath the ciliated epithelium. In the lung, CGRP and SP were localized in nerve fibers in five principal locations: 1) within the smooth muscle layer in the interfaveolar septa; 2) in the luminal thickened edges of the septa; 3) around the pulmonary vasculature; 4) within, and 5) under the ciliated epithelium. Within the smooth muscle layer in the septa, luminal thickened septa, and around blood vessels, almost all fibers showed coexistence of CGRP and SP. Within and just beneath the ciliated epithelium in the thickened septa, all fibers showed coexistence of CGRP and SP. No immunoreactivity for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, neuropeptide Y, galanin, somatostatin, FMRFamide, and leucine-and methionine-enkephalins was detected in the nerve fibers within the larynx and the lung. Together with our previous data, the present findings suggest that peptidergic mechanisms are involved in the regulation of amphibian respiratory systems throughout their life.

    Notes: Abstract. Indirect double immunofluorescence labelling for eight neuropeptides in the pancreas of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, demonstrated the occurrence, distribution, and coexistence of certain neuropeptides in the exocrine and endocrine pancreas. Immunoreactivity of substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), FMRFamide (FMRF), and galanin (GAL) was localized in nerve fibers distributed between the acini and around the duct system and vasculature of the exocrine pancreas. In these regions, CGRP-immunoreactive fibers were more numerous than those containing the other five peptides. Almost all SP fibers showed coexistence of SP with CGRP, and about one third of fibers also showed coexistence of SP with VIP, NPY, FMRF, and GAL. In the endocrine pancreas, SP, CGRP, VIP, and GAL were recognized in the nerve fibers around and within the islets of Langerhans, and VIP and GAL fibers were more numerous than SP and CGRP fibers. All CGRP fibers, and about half of the VIP and GAL fibers were immunoreactive for SP. NPY- and FMRF-immunoreactive cells were found at the periphery of the islets. These findings suggest that the exocrine and endocrine pancreatic functions of the bullfrog are under the control of peptidergic innervation.

    Notes: Abstract  The time of appearance and distribution of substance P (SP)-like immunoreactivity in the granular convoluted tubule cells of the developing male mouse submandibular glands were examined, and the subcellular localization of SP-like immunoreactivity was investiagted by electron microscopy. At 25 days of age, SP-like immunoreactivity was first detected in the supranuclear cytoplasm of the granular convoluted tubule cells, which occurred either singly or in small clusters. At 30 and 35 days of age, granular convoluted tubule cells with SP-like immunoreactivity were more numerous than in the earlier stages, as the volume ratio of the cells increased. Not all granular convoluted tubule cells demonstrated SP-like immunoreactivity. The number of cells with SP-like immunoreactivity decreased at 60 days of age, and these cells had completely disappeared at 90 days of age. Most, but not all, secretory granules in the granular convoluted tubule cells were strongly labeled with gold particles, indicating that the subcellular site of SP-like substance is in the secretory granules within the cells. The findings suggest that the physiological role of the SP-like substance secreted from the GCT cells is restricted to the early postnatal stages, and that it may be involved in the development of the oral mucosa or digestive tract as a trophic factor.
