Notes: The karyotype of Oryzias minutillus was examined with specimens collected from 18 localities in Thailand. Specimens from the south and the northeast had 2n = 42 acrocentric chromosomes; the arm number (NF) was 42 and NORs-chromosomes were acrocentric type (2n = 42, NF = 42, NORs-A). Specimens from the central and the north were characteristic by having 8-12 large metacentric chromosomes (LM-chromosomes). They had 2n = 28–34 chromosomes, and shared the same NF and NORs-chromosomes of submetacentric type (2n = 34-28, NF = 44, NORs-SM). Specimens from the southeast had 2n = 42 or 40 chromosomes. Their karyotypes had the same NF and NORs-chromosomes as those from the central and the north (2n = 40–42, NF = 44, NORs-SM), though they had no, or only one pair of, LM-chromosomes. The karyotype with 42 acrocentric chromosomes seems to be basic for O. minutillus, and consequently those with NORs-SM and LM-chromosomes seem to be caused through pericentric inversion and centric fusion, respectively. We confirmed that the karyotype evolution had occurred in drainage areas of the Mae Nam Chao Phraya and collaterals (the central, north and southeast). On the other hand, the basic karyotype was preserved allopatrically in the peninsula (the south) and the basin of the Mae Nam Mun, a tributary of the Mekong (the northeast).

Notes: Summary Changes in the expression pattern and intracellular localization of Forssman glycolipid (FA) and GM1 ganglioside (GM1) in fetal mouse gonads were examined during germ cell differentiation by immunofluorescence microscopy and immunoelectron microscopy. In male germ cells from the 12th to 14th day p.c., anti-FA binding was localized in granular structures aggregated on one side of the cytoplasm and/or in the plasma membrane. On day 16 p.c., some germ cells still showed patch-like positive reactions in the plasma membrane, but by day 18 p.c., positive reactions for FA had completely disappeared. The female germ cells showed granular bindings of anti-FA scattered throughout their cytoplasm during the 13th to 16th day p.c., although the positive reactions in female germ cells on day 12 p.c. tended to be found in one side of cytoplasm and/or plasma membrane similar to those in male germ cells from 12th to 14th day p.c. On day 18 p.c., positive reactions remained in the plasma membrane of some germ cells, but these positive reactions disappeared before birth. Immunoelectron microscopic observation showed that the sites of anti-FA bindings were equivalent to the “small dense bodies” (SDB) and the Golgi lamellae both in male and female germ cells. On the other hand, GM1 was not detected in male germ cells at any time during fetal testicular development, whereas an anti-GM1 reaction was detected in the plasma membrane of female germ cells from the 16th to 18th day p.c. (oocytes in the first meiotic prophase). Therefore, these results indicate that kinetic translocation of FA between the plasma membrane and the SDB and Golgi lamellae takes place during germ cell differentiation in fetal gonads. Moreover, the ganglioside composition containing GM1 seems to change in association with the first meiotic prophase.

Notes: Summary The pattern of lectin binding in normal human labial mucosa was examined by light and electron microscopy using eight different lectins (ConA, LCA, WGA, UEA-1, RCA-1, SBA, DBA and PNA) and compared with the patterns in normal human skin and oesophageal mucosa. As seen by light microscopy, ConA, LCA, and WGA stained cell membranes in all layers of the mucosae. RCA-1 stained the plasma membrane of cells in the basal and middle layers, whereas cells in the superficial layers showed little positive staining. UEA-1, SBA, and PNA stained the cells in the middle layers weakly in some cases. No positive staining for DBA was seen. By electron microscopy, reaction product indicating ConA-binding sites was observed in the plasma membrane, cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear envelope and the Golgi apparatus. Binding of LCA, WGA, and RCA-1 was observed in the plasma membrane. These results show that the binding pattern of PNA, SBA, and RCA-1 in labial mucosa is different from that in the normal skin or oesophageal mucosa, although the labial mucosal epithelium, epidermis, and oesophageal epithelium are all stratified squamous epithelia. These differences in the cell-surface sugar residues are likely to be related to the possible functional differences in these tissues.
