    Notes: Summary The deposition and formation of a thick secondary wall is a major event in the differentiation of flax (Linum usitatissimum) fibers. This wall is cellulose-rich; but it also contains significant amounts of other matrix polymers which are noncellulosic such as pectins. We have used immunocytochemical techniques with antibodies specific for various epitopes associated with either pectins or arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) to investigate the distribution of these polymers within the walls of differentiating young fibers of 1- and 2-week-old plants. Our results show that different epitopes exhibit distinct distribution patterns within fiber walls. Unesterified pectins recognized by polygalacturonic acid-rhamnogalacturonan I (PGA/RG-I) antibodies and rhamnogalacturonan II recognized by anti-RG-II-borate complex antibodies are localized all over the secondary wall of fibers. PGA/RG-I epitopes, but not RG-II epitopes, are also present in the middle lamellae and cell junctions. In marked contrast, β-(1→4) galactans recognized by the LM5 monoclonal antibody and AGP epitopes recognized by anti-β-(1→6) galactan and LM2 antibodies are primarily located in the half of the secondary wall nearest the plasma membrane. LM2 epitopes, present in 1-week-old fibers, are undetectable later in development, suggesting a regulation of the expression of certain AGP epitopes. In addition, localization of cellulose with the cellobiohydrolase I-gold probe reveals distinct subdomains within the secondary walls of young fibers. These findings indicate that, in addition to cellulose, early-developing flax fibers synthesize and secrete different pectin and AGP molecules.

    Notes: Abstract The distribution and morphology of neurons containing three calcium-binding proteins, calbindin D28K, calretinin, and parvalbumin in the adult rabbit visual cortex were studied. The calcium-binding proteins were identified using antibody immunocytochemistry. Calbindin D28K-immunoreactive (IR) neurons were located throughout the cortical layers with the highest density in layer V. However, calbindin D28K-IR neurons were rarely encountered in layer I. Calretinin-IR neurons were mainly located in layers II and III. Considerably lower densities of calretinin-IR neurons were observed in the other layers. Parvalbumin-IR neurons were predominantly located in layers III, IV, V, and VI. In layers I and II, parvalbumin-IR neurons were only rarely seen. The majority of the calbindin D28K-IR neurons were stellate, round or oval cells with multipolar dendrites. The majority of calretinin-IR neurons were vertical fusiform cells with long processes traveling perpendicularly to the pial surface. The morphology of the majority of parvalbumin-IR neurons was similar to that of calbindin D28K: stellate, round or oval with multipolar dendrites. These results indicate that these three different calcium-binding proteins are contained in specific layers and cells in the rabbit visual cortex.

    Notes: Abstract  Trees represent a, probably the, major component of the biosphere and have a unique place in the history of Mankind. One of their most fascinating features is the process of secondary growth which is effected principally by the secondary vascular system, the developmental continuum of secondary phloem, vascular cambium, and secondary xylem. However, for too long assumptions about the developmental biology of trees have had to be based upon studies of primary growth systems within annual, herbaceous species because study of the secondary vascular system had been largely ignored. Even when attempts are made to understand some of the most fundamental features of the secondary vascular system, such as xylogenesis, the current model system, isolated Zinnia mesophyll cells, is not entirely appropriate to the situation in the intact tree. Some deficiencies of the Zinnia system are discussed, and the advantages of the genus Populus as a model for study of the hardwood secondary vascular system are considered. Some of the new approaches which are poised to lead to significant advances in our knowledge of the cell bio-logy of the secondary vascular system of trees – spe-cifically of the cell wall, the plasmalemma, and the cytoskeleton – are discussed. The value of one of these new techniques – immunocytochemistry – is demonstrated by a consideration of recent work on the role of the cytoskeleton in the hardwood secondary vascular system.

    Notes: Abstract  Immunocytochemical methods with an antiserum against neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) were applied to identify the morphology and synaptic connectivity of NOS-like immunoreactive neurons in the guinea pig retina. In the present study, two types of amacrine cells were labeled with anti-NOS antisera. Type 1 cells had large somata located in the inner nuclear layer (INL) with long, sparsely branched processes ramifying mainly in stratum 3 of the inner plexiform layer (IPL). The somata of type 2 cells (smaller diameters) were located in the INL. Some displaced amacrine cells in the ganglion cell layer were labeled. The soma size of the displaced amacrine cells was similar to that of the type 2 amacrine cells. However, processes originating from type 2 amacrine cells and displaced amacrine cells stratified mainly in strata 1 and 5, respectively. Some cone bipolar cells were weakly NOS-immunoreactive. The synaptic connectivity of NOS-like immunoreactive amacrine cells was identified in the IPL by electron microscopy. NOS-labeled amacrine cell processes received synaptic input from other amacrine cell processes and bipolar cell axon terminals in all strata of the IPL. The most frequent postsynaptic targets of NOS-immunoreactive amacrine cells were other amacrine cell processes. Cone bipolar cells were postsynaptic to NOS-labeled amacrine cells in all strata of the IPL. Labeled amacrine cells synapsing onto ganglion cells were found only in sublamina b. A few synaptic contacts were observed between labeled cell processes. In the outer plexiform layer, dendrites of labeled bipolar cells made basal contact with cone pedicles or formed a synaptic triad opposed to a synaptic ribbon of cone pedicles.

    Simultaneous apocrine and merocrine secretion in the rat coagulating gland (1999)

    Notes: Abstract The coagulating gland of the rat synthesizes two prevalent secretory proteins (transglutaminase and 115 K) that are discharched in a different manner, one being secreted in an apocrine fashion (transglutaminase) and the other one in a merocrine way (115 K). Differences in the intra- cellular pathway and the release of either protein were studied using immunofluorescence on semithin sections, immunoelectron microscopy of preembedding-processed chopper sections and postembedding-processed ultrathin sections of rat coagulating gland. Immunohistochemical staining using an anti-transglutaminase antibody resulted in dense labeling of the cytoplasm of secretory cells and their apical blebs, whereas the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus were completely unlabeled. When, on the contrary, the anti-115 K antiserum was used, dense labeling of the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and the secretory granules was seen. Intraluminal secretion was also labeled, but the secretory blebs remained unlabeled. Our findings show that, in the coagulating gland of the male rat, the two secretory proteins studied are processed in parallel, but at completely different intracellular pathways. They are released via different extrusion mechanisms. Transglutaminase is synthesized outside the endoplasmic reticulum, reaches the apical cell pole by free flow in the cytoplasm, and is released via apocrine blebs, the membranes of which appear to be derived from the apical plasma membrane. The protein 115 K, on the other hand, follows the classic route, being synthesized within the cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum, subsequently glycosylated in the Golgi apparatus, and released in a merocrine fashion. The mutual exclusion of the two secretory pathways and the regulation of the alternative release mechanism are still unresolved issues.

    Notes: Abstract Blood vessels from the vasculature of mouse brains during postnatal development and from human brain tumors (hemangiomas) removed at biopsy were examined immunocytochemically by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or high-voltage transmission electron microscopy (HVEM) to determine the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). In the mouse brains, ICAM-1 was shown to be initially expressed on the luminal and abluminal endothelial cell (EC) surfaces on day 3 after birth. ICAM-1 intensity increased on the luminal EC surfaces and labeled vesiculotubular profiles (VTS, defined in the present report) between days 5 and 7. After 2 weeks and at 6 months after birth, ICAM-1 labeling was weak or absent on the luminal EC surfaces. The hemangiomas presented a strong ICAM-1 reaction product on the luminal EC surfaces of small and large blood vessels associated with the VTS, with a weaker labeling of the abluminal or adventitial aspects of larger blood vessels. TEM of vesiculovacuolar structures (VVOs) within ECs from arteries and veins also demonstrated reaction product for ICAM-1 labeling. Three-dimensional stereo-pair images in the HVEM enhanced the visualization of gold particles that were attached to the inner-delimiting membrane surfaces of EC VTS, and VVOs, respectively. These observations raise the possibility that the neonatal leukocytes and tumor cells may utilize these endothelial structures as a route across the developing and injured blood-brain barrier (BBB).

    Notes: Abstract A highly specific polyclonal antiserum has been raised against periviscerokinin, the first neuropeptide isolated from the perisympathetic organs of insects (Predel et al. 1995). In this study, two different neuronal systems with periviscerokinin-like immunoreactivity were distinguished in the central nervous system of the American cockroach: (1) An intrinsic neuronal network, restricted to the head-thoracic region, was formed by intersegmental projecting neurons of the brain, suboesophageal ganglion and metathoracic ganglion. In addition, groups of local interneurons occurred in the proto- and tritocerebrum. (2) A typical neurohormonal system was stained exclusively in the abdomen; it was represented by abdominal perisympathetic organs which were supplied by three cell clusters located in each unfused abdominal ganglion. As revealed by nickel backfills, most neurons with axons entering the perisympathetic organs contained a periviscerokinin-like peptide. Immunoreactive fibres left the perisympathetic organs peripherally, innervated the hyperneural muscle and ran via the link nerves/segmental nerves to the heart and segmental vessels. All visceral muscles innervated by periviscerokinin-immunoreactive fibres were shown to be sensitive to periviscerokinin, whereas the hindgut gave no specific response to this peptide.

    Notes: Abstract By using an antiserum raised against a crustacean β-pigment-dispersing hormone (PDH), the distribution and chemical neuroanatomy of PDH-like immunoreactive neurons was investigated in the central nervous system of the gastropod snails, Helix pomatia and Lymnaea stagnalis. The number of immunoreactive cells in the Helix central nervous system was found to be large (700–900), whereas in Lymnaea, only a limited number (50–60) of neurons showed immunoreactivity. The immunostained neurons in Helix were characterized by rich arborizations in all central ganglia and revealed massive innervation of all peripheral nerves and the neural (connective tissue) sheath around the ganglia and peripheral nerve trunks. A small number of Helix nerve cell bodies in the viscero-parietal ganglion complex were also found to be innervated by PDH-like immunoreactive processes. Hence, a complex central and peripheral regulatory role, including neurohormonal actions, is suggested for a PDH-like substance in Helix, whereas the sites of action may be more limited in Lymnaea.

    Immunohistochemical evidence of the presence of aromatase P450 in the rat hypophysis (1999)

    Notes: Abstract In order to analyze whether aromatase is present in the hypophysis of adult rats, we have performed an immunohistochemical study in young adult male and female rats. Our study has revealed that the hypophysis of adult rats contains aromatase, although marked differences are found between the sexes. The hypophyses of male rats have cells immunoreactive for the enzyme, 34.40% of these hypophyseal cells showing reaction. By contrast, cells from female rats show very little reaction, only 0.84% of them being reactive. No significant differences in the percentage of immunoreactive cells between one phase and another are observed during the estrous cycle. Our results point to the immunohistochemical expression of aromatase in the hypophysis of adult rats and at the same time suggest that its expression is sex-dependent. The enzyme may therefore be involved in the regulation of adenohypophyseal cytology by androgens.

    Notes: Abstract  Hypothalamic slices containing the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) were prepared from 6- to 8-day-old rats and maintained in stationary culture for up to 35 days in order to analyse how well the melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons survived. As previously reported for other brain areas, this method yielded a long-term well-preserved organotypic organization. Light- and electron-microscopic investigations showed that differentiation continued and that synaptic contacts developed in vitro. After a period of elimination of damaged cells and fibres, most of the remaining neurons and glial cells retained a normal morphology throughout the culture period. MCH neurons, in particular, survived well as attested by the strong immunocytochemical and in situ hybridization signals still observed after several weeks. In a comparison with the day of explantation, competitive reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction demonstrated the remarkable stability of the level of MCH mRNA at least until the 20th day in culture; after 30 days, the clear decrease in this level seemed to be correlated with a loss of MCH neurons, rather than with a decrease in MCH expression. After 10 days of culture, the incubation of slices in the presence of the hormone leptin (50 ng/ml) resulted in a strong decrease of MCH gene expression, suggesting that MCH neurons retained their physiological properties. Thus, the LHA slice stationary culture, especially between one and three weeks (i.e. after tissue stabilization and before extensive cell loss), appears to be a suitable method for physiological and pharmacological studies of these neurons.

    Caveolin and its cellular and subcellular immunolocalisation in lung alveolar epithelium: implications for alveolar epithelial type I cell function (1999)

    Notes: Abstract Caveolae are flask-shaped invaginations of the plasmalemma which pinch off to form discrete vesicles within the cell cytoplasm. Biochemically, caveolae may be distinguished by the presence of a protein, caveolin, that is the principal component of filaments constituting their striated cytoplasmic coat. Squamous alveolar epithelial type I (ATI) cells, comprising approximately 95% of the surface area of lung alveolar epithelium, possess numerous plasmalemmal invaginations and cytoplasmic vesicles ultrastructurally indicative of caveolae. However, an ultrastructural appearance does not universally imply the biochemical presence of caveolin. This immunocytochemical study has utilised a novel application of confocal laser scanning and electron microscopy unequivocally to localise caveolin-1 to ATI cells. Further, cytoplasmic vesicles and flask-shaped membrane invaginations in the ATI cell were morphologically identified whose membranes were decorated with anti-caveolin-1 immunogold label. Coexistent with this, however, in both ATI and capillary endothelial cells could be seen membrane invaginations morphologically characteristic of caveolae, but which lacked associated caveolin immunogold label. This could reflect a true biochemical heterogeneity in populations of morphologically similar plasmalemmal invaginations or an antigen threshold requirement for labelling. The cuboidal alveolar epithelial type II cell (ATII) also displayed specific label for caveolin-1 but with no ultrastructural evidence for the formation of caveolae. The biochemical association of caveolin with ATI cell vesicles has broad implications for the assignment and further study of ATI cell function.

    Notes: Summary The fine structure of the human cumulus oophorus has been reviewed on the basis of scanning and transmission electron microscopic observations as well as of immunofluorescence data. Tissues sampled from preovulatory ovarian follicles and cumulus-enclosed oocytes and fertilized eggs (collected from the oviduct or obtained during in vitro fertilization procedures) have been evaluated from a microtopographic and morphodynamic point of view in order to better clarify the possible role of this population of cells. In particular, the following aspects have been studied and discussed: the presence of multiple close contacts (modulated by the interposition of the zona pellucida) between the oocyte surface and the long microvillous evaginations projecting from the inner aspect of corona cells surface (through these structures the intraovarian cumulus oophorus may control oocyte growth and metabolism up until the time of ovulation); the occurrence of different subpopulations of cells (steroid-synthetic cells, cells producing adhesive proteins, leukocytes, macrophages) in the postovulatory, extraovarian cumulus oophorus surrounding oocytes, zygotes and early developing embryos. All these elements found in the cumulus mass may positively act, through their paracrine activities, on the chemical composition of the microenvironment in which fertilization occurs.

    Notes: Summary The haustorial structure of three African parasitic members of the family Scrophulariaceae (Buchnera hispida, Rhamphicarpa fistulosa, andStriga hermonthica) has been studied with regard to the interface between haustoria and the invaded host roots. Immunocytochemical observations at the light and electron microscopical level were carried out with monoclonal antibodies against pectin. JIM5, JIM7, and hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP), LM1. Lignins have been visualized by phloroglucinolhydrochloric acid staining. At the margin of the lateral interface (contact area of host root cortex and parasite cells), JIM5- and JIM7-labelled substances accumulate between parasite papillae and the host root surface indicating that pectins are implicated in sealing the parasite to the attacked host organ. The lateral interface is characterized by the presence of compressed, necrotic host cells, whereas the central interface (contact area between host stele and parasite cells) is generally devoid of host cell remnants. Phenolic substances and/or lignins can be found at the site of penetration of the haustorium into the host root. These observations and the fact that HRGPs accumulate at the host side of the interface support the view of, at least, a partial defense reaction in the invaded host root tissues. Within haustoria, HRGPs were restricted to differentiating xylem elements, implying a spatio-temporal regulation of HRGPs in developmental processes.

    Notes: Summary In order to compare cell wall formation in gymnosperm pollen with that in angiosperm pollen, the distribution of cell wall constituents in the pollen grain and pollen tube ofPinus densiflora was studied immunocytochemically with monoclonal antibodies JIM 5 (against non- or poorly esterified pectin), JIM 7 (against highly esterified pectin), JIM 13 (against arabinogalactan proteins, AGPs), and LM 2 (against AGPs containing glucuronic acid). In the pollen grain wall, only the outer layer of the intine was labeled with JIM 5 and weakly with JIM 7. The tube wall was scarcely labeled with JIM 5 and very weakly labeled with JIM 7. In contrast, the whole of both the intine and the tube wall was strongly labeled with JIM 13 and LM 2, and the generative-cell wall was also labeled only with LM 2. The hemicellulose B fraction, which is the main polysaccharide fraction from the pollen tube wall, reacted strongly with JIM 13 and especially LM 2, but not with antipectin antibodies. These results demonstrate that the wall constituents and their localization inP. densiflora pollen are considerably different from those reported in angiosperm pollen and suggest that the main components of the cell wall ofP. densiflora pollen are arabinogalactan and AGPs containing glucuronic acid.

    Notes: Summary DuringPetunia hybrida seed development, the MADS-box genes encoding the floral binding proteins (FBP) 7 and 11 are expressed in the seed coat and not in the endosperm or embryo. These proteins are thought to function as transcription factors and are essential for ovule formation inPetunia spp. Immunocytochemical methods were used to analyze the distribution of FBP7 and FBP11 after fertilization in wild type and ectopic and cosuppression mutants. During the first nine days of seed development the protein was found in the nuclei of seed coat cells, of both wild-type plants and plants which ectopically expressedFBP11. The signal for FBP7 and -11 proteins diminished during seed development, was first lost in the outer epidermis of the seed coat, then in the endothelium, and finally, at 9 days after pollination (DAP), the protein could not be detected anymore in the parenchyma cells of the seed coat. Although the distribution patterns in wild-type andFBP11 ectopically expressing plants are similar, the latter exhibited higher protein levels. A mild-cosuppression mutant ofFBP7 andFBP11, having only a total of 5%FBP7 and -11 mRNA, showed hardly any FBP7 and -11 proteins. The lack of FBP7 and -11 caused endosperm degeneration in the mutant at a moment when the protein had already decreased to an undetectable level in the wild type and ectopic expression mutant (i.e., at 13 DAP). It is suggested that till about 9 DAP a minimal amount of FBP7 and -11 is needed for the normal functioning of the seed coat during later stages, i.e., for transfer of nutrients to endosperm and embryo. Besides the immunocytochemical data on theFBP7 andFBP11 MADS-box gene products, the morphological analysis of wild type and mutants contributes details on early seed development inPetunia hybrida.

    Notes: Summary Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a nephrotoxic and nephrocacinogenic mycotoxin commonly produced by several ubiquitousAspergillus andPenicillium species. OTA is found predominantly in cereals and derived products, and therefore OTA may be transferred into beer from contaminated grain. Thirty-five samples of German beers were analyzed: OTA was extracted with toluene and purified by solid phase extraction using silica cartridges. OTA was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Since of fluorescence detection is not specific in this instance, the beer samples were also analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). OTA levels in the range of 0.1–0.2 μg L−1 were found in 9 beer samples, 21 samples contained trace amounts of OTA (〈0.1 μg L−1) and in 5 samples no OTA was detectable.

    Notes: Summary Doxorubicin is an antineoplastic antibiotic isolated fromStreptomyces peucetius var.cesius clinically used in the treatment of tumors such as lung or breast, Hodgkin's disease and various types of leukemias. The main goal of this study was to develop a simple and sensitive HPLC method with fluorescence detection for the quantitation of doxorubicin in cell culture media collected during an in vitro studies and in human plasma. Solid phase extraction (C2 silica) was applied. The experiment established five-point standard curve (1 ng mL−1 to 100 ng mL−1). The standard curves prepared in blank cell tissue media were linear over the range of doxorubicin assayed and had a mean correlation coefficient of 0.9973±9.43×10−4 and slope 0.02545±1.85×10−3. The standard curves prepared in human plasma were linear and had mean correlation coefficient of 0.997 and slope 0.01885±5.19×10−4. The limit of quantitation for doxorubicin in both specimens was arbitrarily established to be 1 ng mL−1. Intra-day variabilities were determined using 3–4 replicates of control solutions of doxorubicin (3 ng mL−1 and 30 ng mL−1) in blank plasma and cell culture media. Inter-day variabilities were determined over a four day period analyzing replicates of controls. All precision and accuracy values fell within the acceptable range.

    Notes: Summary Human serum albumin (HSA) is one of the most abundant human proteins and has been shown to be heterogeneous. A RP-HPLC method has been developed to separate HSA components in commercially available preparations. Separations were carried out on Aquapore RP-300, C8 columns using gradient elution with a combination of acetonitrile/water mobile phases containing 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid as ion-pairing agent. Optimum resolution was attained on narrow-bore columns using a stepwise, linear gradient that incorporated a shallow intermediate step of 0.20%/min in Mobile Phase B. Under similar elution conditions, separations carried out on standard-size columns showed the expected decrease in resolution due to increased peak widths. A comparative analysis of three commercial products highlighted qualitative and quantitative differences. Capillary zone electrophoresis was used for the analysis of collected RP-HPLC fractions. Results indicated that while the HPLC separation was incomplete, one of the major HPLC peaks was primarily composed of one of the three main components typically separated by CZE. ESI-MS was used to characterize the two major RP-HPLC fractions and also showed that the HPLC separation was incomplete. The MaxEnt transform of the HPLC peaks was consistent with components all being HSA and closely related derivatives.

    Notes: Summary One classical method for quantitation of amino acids in proteins is hydrolysis of the proteins and determination of the free amino acids. Although the drastic experimental conditions necessary for complete hydrolysis always cause degradation of some of the amino acids, if mild hydrolysis conditions are used, a mixture of amino acids and oligopeptides is obtained. If these conditions are adequately tuned, the oligopeptides are almost exclusively dipeptides. For this reason we have initiated a study to find a derivatizing agent suitable for the analysis of amino acids and dipeptides by an absolute method of quantitation already tested for amino acids. FMOC-Cl was found to be a suitable derivatizing agent for this purpose.

    Notes: Summary A rapid method for the simultaneous determination/identification of residual oxytetracycline (OTC) and sulphadimidine (SDD) in meats (beef, pork, chicken) and eggs by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed. The extraction of OTC and SDD was performed using a Sep-Pak® CN cartridge. The extracts contained OTC/SDD analytes when examined by HPLC using a LiChrospher® 100 RP-8 end-capped column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-acetic acid-water (28:4:68, v/v/v) with a photodiode array detector. The average recoveries from spiked samples (0.1 μg g−1 and 1.0 μg g−1) were in excess of 80.2% with coefficients of variation between 1.5 and 5.0%. The limits of detection for OTC and SDD were 0.05 and 0.02 μg g−1, respectively.

    Notes: Summary Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) of nominal molecular weight (M) 200, 400, 600, 1000, 1500, 3000, 4000 and 6000 were chosen as model compounds and subjected to reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) on an octadecasilyl silica gel (C18) stationary phase using a binary gradient composed of acetonitrile and water and evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD). Satisfactory resolution of oligomers up to M of 3000 was accomplished; the higher M samples PEG-4000 and PEG-6000 could not be further resolved into the constituent oligomers and therefore, M=4000 marks the upper limit of oligomer resolution. Despite some peak overlapping as a consequence of the more or less broad oligomer distribution, individual types of PEG samples can be distinguished from each other by their characteristic chromatographic fingerprint patterns, as shown with a mixture consisting of PEG-400, PEG-1000, PEG-3000, PEG-4000 and PEG-6000. For this reason, the method is well-suited for characterization of samples containing PEGs widely differing in M. In addition, matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF/MS) performed with PEG-600, PEG-1000 and PEG-3000 revealed that the optimum degree of oligomer resolution has been achieved by use of the present method.

    Separation of the enantiomers of amino and amide compounds on novel chiral stationary phases derived from a crown ether (1999)

    Notes: Summary The enantiomers of primary amino compounds have previously been resolved on a chiral stationary phase (CSP) CSP-18C6I, prepared by immobilizing (+)-18-crown-6 tetracarboxylic acid. In this study related chiral stationary phases were prepared in an effort to broaden the scope of CSP18C6I. CSP-18C6II, synthesized to investigate the effect of spacer length, resolved the enantiomers of 2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol and 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine (1-NEA) (hydrophobic amino compounds) with the largerk values and smaller α values than on CSP-18C6I, probably because of the greater hydrophobicity of CSP-18C6II. Use of CSP-18C6III, synthesized by modification of carboxylic acid functionality of CSP-18C6II by introduction of another chiral moiety,S-1-NEA, resulted in larger α values for 2-amino-1-phenylethanol and 2-amino-1-phenylpropanol than on CSP-18C6II, but the enantiomers of 1-NEA were not resolved, because of steric hindrance between 1-NEA and the chiral moiety. The amide derivativeN-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-1-(α-naphthyl)ethylamine (DNN) as π-acceptor (3,5-dinitrobenzoyl function) or π-donor (naphthylethylamide function), and no primary amino functionality, was resolved on CSP-18C6III. The mechanism of separation of the enantiomers of DNN was assumed to be the π−π interaction between the 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl function (π-acceptor) of DNN and theS-1-NEA moiety (π-donor) of CSP-18C6III.

    Notes: Summary A sensitive LC method for the determination of alcohols, using fluorescent condensation agent carbazole-9-N-acetylbenzne-disulfonate(CABS), has been developed. A mixture of alcohols and triethylamine catalyst in dichloromethane or chloroform is treated with CABS to give quantitative yields of esters. Emission maximum for the derivatized alcohols is 365 nm (λex 335 nm). The labeled derivatives are very stable, no significant decomposition is observed after heating in 40% at 40°C for 24 h. The method, in conjunction with a multigradient program, offers baseline resolution of common alcohol derivatives on a reversed-phase C18 column. Studies on derivatization conditions indicate that primary and secondary alcohols react very fast with CABS in the presence of triethylamine in dichloromethane or chloroform to give the corresponding fluorescent derivatives. This method is more convenient and more efficient than previous methods which require prior conversion of carboxylic acids to acyl chlorides. The separation of alcohol derivatives has good reproducibility and the rsd's (n=5) for 50 pmol of each alcohol are 4%. Detection limits are at the fmol level.

    Notes: Summary Racemic jasmonic acid (3R,7R/3S,7S)-(±)-JA) was chemically conjugated with different biogenic amines originating from aliphatic and aromatic α-amino acids by decarboxylation. The resulting isomeric compounds were subjected to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and to HPLC on the chiral stationary phases Chiralpak AS and Nucleodex β-PM. Under reversed-phase conditions, all the homologous amine derivatives tested could be separated from each other except the JA-conjugates containing 2-phenyl-ethylamine and 3-methylbutylamine. On both chiral supports the (3R,7R)-(−)-JA conjugates eluted earlier than those of the enantiomeric counterpart (3S,7S)-(+)-JA. On Chiralpak AS all the isomers studied could be separated to baseline with a mobile phase containingn-hexane and 2-propanol. The calculated resolution factors were between 1.80 and 4.17. The pairs of isomers were also chromatographed on the cyclodextrin stationary phase Nucleodex β-PM with methanol-triethylammonium acetate buffer as mobile phase. Under these conditions resolution factors were between 0.74 and 1.29. The individual isomers were chiroptically characterized by measurement of their circular dichroism.

Ceramic powders with the composition ZrO2:x mol % La2O3 (x=5, 10, 15, 20 and 33) and ZrO2:x mol % Y2O3 (x=10, 15, 20 and 25) were prepared by the citrate and the co-precipitation techniques, respectively. The lanthanum content was determined by HPLC (x=5.09, 9.78, 14.98, 19.81 and 25.94) and NA (x=5.15, 10.32, 17.25, 21.08 and 27.97) analyses, the yttrium content by HPLC (x=8.5, 13.5, 17.9 and 22.1) and XRF (x=9.9, 15.8, 20.1 and 24.9) analyses. An experimental sequence, based on continuous dilution of ceramic powder solutions, is proposed for preparing samples for HPLC measurements. A swimming pool nuclear reactor is used for NA analysis. The quantitative determinations of yttrium and lanthanum doping levels obtained using those techniques are described.

The immobilization process and the stability of this α-chymotrypsin stationary phase have been studied. The mobile phase parameters including the ionic strength, pH and the effects of organic modifiers have been also investigated. The retention, efficiency and stereoselectivity of the solutes appear to be related to their molecular structure, hydrophobicity and electrostatic interactions. These relationships determine the recognition mechanism and the position of each enantiomer in the active site.

    Notes: Summary The conditions for reaction of the branched polyfluoroalkylsilane D3CL with silica gel have been examined. From elemental analyses and29Si NMR spectra it was found that the surface coverage and endcapping of D3CL-coated silica gel (Fluofix®) were the same as for ODS packings. The separation behavior of these phases was compared that of a variety of other packings. For polyaromatic compounds and benzene derivatives Fluofix worked in the reversed-phase mode and its retention characteristics were similar to those of C1 or CN packings. For fluorinated compound the retention characteristics of the phases is similar to those of ODS although with MeOH-water and MeCN-water mobile phases the pressure loss was lower for the fluorinated phases than for ODS.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the elution behaviour of six common monosaccharides, fucose, galactosamine, glucosamine, galactose, glucose and mannose, on the CarboPac PA-100 column. The relative elution positions of galactose, glucose and mannose were dependent on the sodium hydroxide concentrations, a phenomenon which was likely to be the result of differential ionisation of the hydroxyl groups at ring positions two and four. The optimal resolution of the monosaccharides studied was achieved by elution with 30 mM sodium hydroxide with no appreciable loss in sensitivity at this low concentration.

    Notes: Summary This paper describes an HPLC method for the determination of meropenem in human plasma. The method uses solid phase extraction (SPE) of the samples and has good sensitivity, precision and accuracy. The limit of quantification in plasma samples is 0.02 μg mL−1. Calibration curves were linear over a large dynamic range, namely within 0.02–50 μg mL−1. The method was applied to the determination of meropenem levels in patients receiving meropenem, as a single dose or at steady state.

    Notes: Summary Acid catalyzed hydrolysis of fatty alcohol sulfates under reflux condition or by microwave heating is compared. Microwave hydrolysis turned out to be faster and more convenient to use. The combination of reflux hydrolysis of fatty alcohol sulfates or alkyl polyglycosides and the simultaneous steam distillation of the generated fatty alcohols gives a very powerful sample preparation and enrichment method for fatty alcohol sulfates and alkyl polyglycosides. The preconcentrated fatty alcohols are derivatized and detected via fluorescence detection. The applicability of the method is demonstrated by the analysis of fatty alcohol sulfates in cosmetics and in river water as matrices spiked with approximately 4 ppb fatty alcohol sulfates.

    Notes: Summary A liquid-solid extraction and purification procedure (LSE) was developed to identify and quantify polyphenols in the leaf tissue ofMyrtus communis L. Identification and quantitation of individual compounds was performed using HPTLC, HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS analysis. Leaves ofMyrtus communis L. contain small amounts of phenolic acids (caffeic, ellagic and gallic acids) and quercetin derivatives (quercetin 3-O-galactoside and quercetin 3-O-rhamnoside), whereas catechin derivatives (epigallocatechin, epigallocatechin 3-O-gallate, epicatechin 3-O-gallate) and myricetin derivatives (myricetin 3-O-galactoside, myricetin 3-O-rhamnoside) are present in large amounts. This is the first report on the occurrence of galloyl-derivatives of catechin and gallo-catechin inMyrtus communis L. leaves.

    Notes: Summary The use of hydrophobic-interaction chromatography (HIC) is proposed for the simultaneous determination of more than one thiol-protein after formation of the corresponding mercury mercaptides withp-hydroxymercuribenzoate (PHMB). The new chromatographic procedure, based on the HIC separation of the modified proteins from each other and from excess organomercury reagent has been successfully applied to the quantitative determination of phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) and phosphoglucose mutase (PGM) in crude PGI powder, and of L-lactate dehydrogenase, PGM and aldolase in crude pyruvate kinase from rabbit muscle. The suitability of203Hg-labelled PHMB has been tested in the analysis of mixtures, which give barely distinguishable UV-peaks owing to the presence of other non-thiol components in the sample. For this purpose glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDHy) and PGIy from bakers yeast have been considered. Results obtained in experiments performed by both procedures are reported.

    Notes: Summary The liquid-chromatographic separation of the enantiomers of amino acid esters as benzophenone Schiff-base derivatives on polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases (CSPs) is described. The performance of Chiralcel OF was superior to that of the other CSPs for resolution of benzophenone imine derivatives of amino acid ethyl and methyl esters. The enantiomers of most of the amino acid esters examined as their benzophenone imine derivatives were resolved to baseline on Chiralcel OF. The L-(−) enantiomers of all the analytes were preferentially retained on Chiralcel OF. The resolution of several imine derivatives of amino acid esters was investigated, as was the effect of eluent composition on the resolution of amino acid ethyl esters as their benzophenone imine derivatives.

    Notes: Summary A high-performance liquid chromatographic method with amperometric detection has been developed for the determination of levels of clozapine (CLZ) and its active metabolite N-desmethylclozapine (DMC) in human plasma. The analysis was performed on a 5 μm C8 reversed phase column (150×4.6 mm i.d.), with acetonitrile-phosphate buffer (pH 3.5), as the mobile phase. The detection voltage was +800 mV and the cell and column temperature were 50°C. Linear responses were obtained between 2 ng mL−1 and 100 ng mL−1. Absolute recovery for both clozapine and desmethylclozapine exceeded 88% and the detection limit was 1 ng mL−1. Repeatability, intermediate precision and accuracy were satisfactory. The method, which is rapid, sensitive and selective, has been applied to therapeutic drug monitoring in schizophrenic patients following administration of Leponex® tablets. In 21 patients in steady state at a mean daily clozapine dosage of 358 mg (ranging from 150 to 500 mg day−1), clozapine levels averaged 379 ng mL−1 (ranging from 102 to 818 ng mL−1) and DMC levels averaged 233 ng mL−1 (ranging from 70 to 540 ng mL−1). The method requires only a very small amount of plasma (100 μL), and thus it is suitable for pharmacokinetic studies, as well as for therapeutic drug monitoring.

    Notes: Summary We report four new derivatization agents, acridone-N-acetic acid (ARC), carbazole-9-ylacetic acid (CRA), carbazole-9-ylpropionic acid (CRP), and 2-methyl-2-carbazole-9-ylacetic acid (MCRA), with strong fluorescence emission which has low dependence on solvent polarity. The emission maxima for ARC, CRA, CRP, and MCRA were 430 nm (λex 404 nm), 368 nm (λex 335 nm), 356 nm (λex 340 nm) and 360 nm (λex 330 nm), respectively. The effects of mobile-phase composition, pH, and temperature on the liquid chromatographic retention behavior of the four fluorescence agents were investigated. An experimental model was established for calculating the inclusion constants of cyclodextrin (CD) complexes in the dynamic state, using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) as examples, and different mobilephase compositions. On the basis of the model, the inclusion constants of the solutes in pure water (K fw) were determined by extrapolation. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH o and ΔS o) and dissociation constantsK am for the solutes in this chromatographic system were obtained by means of capacity factor (k) values using a corresponding model formulation.

    Effect of triethylamine in the mobile phase on the retention properties of conventional polymeric and horizontally polymerized octadecylsilica in RPLC (1999)

    Notes: Summary The effect of triethylamine (TEA) in the mobile phase on the RPLC retention behavior of small organic solutes has been studied on a conventional polymeric octadecylsilica (ODS) and on a horizontally polymerized ODS. Retention factors for a set of solutes were measured on the two phases with methanol-water mobile phases containing triethylamine at different concentrations and analyzed by use of linear solvation energy relationships (LSER). Variation of the resulting LSER coefficients—v (hydrophobicity),r (polarizability),s (dipolarity),b (hydrogen-bond (HB) donating acidity), anda (HB accepting strength)—were examined to see how TEA affects the intermolecular interaction properties of the mobile and stationary phases and hence the retention of the solutes. Addition of TEA to the mobile phase changes the interaction properties of both conventionally polymerized and horizontally polymerized ODS; the effect is greater for the conventional phase. The HB donating acidity (b) of conventional polymeric ODS is significantly reduced by addition of TEA. For the mobile phases studied the magnitudes of theb andv coefficients for the horizontally polymerized ODS phase are greater than for the conventional phase. The different interaction properties of the two polymeric phases arise mainly as a result of differential adsorption of TEA, because of the very different amounts of surface silanol groups present on the two phases.

Set-up of the microwave device and the operating conditions for microwave hydrolysis were optimized. Results of the microwave hydrolysis were compared with results from conventional hydrolysis for 24 h at 110°C. Microwave hydrolysis of microcystins and nodularin for as little as 10 min at 160°C results in complete cleavage of peptide bonds and high recoveries of amino acids. Enantioselective determination of amino acids was achieved by use of a previously described HPLC method after pre-column derivatization withortho-phthaldialdehyde and the chiral thiolN-iso-butyryl-cysteine.

    Notes: Summary Two different methods have been used to investigate the retention mechanism of a series of imidazole derivatives in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) over a range of column temperatures and with different concentrations of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) in the mobile phase. The first approach was the separate study of each factor affecting the retention mechanism; the second method was the simultaneous variation of all these factors. Changes in Van't Hoff plots as a function of HP-β-CD concentration were examined. Enthalpy and entropy were determined for two physicochemical processes: (i) solute transfer from the mobile phase to the stationary phase, and (ii) solute complexation by HP-β-CD. These thermodynamic data showed that the mechanism of retention of the solute was dependent on the concentration of HP-β-CD in the mobile phase. For a HP-β-CD concentration,C, greater than to 4 mM, from 28°C to a critical temperature,T *, solute retention was entropy-dominated because of inclusion of the solute in the HP-β-CD cavity. AboveT * retention was enthalpy-dominated, because of interaction of the solute with the RP18 stationary phase. At firstT * increased asC was increased up to a critical value,C **; it the remained relatively constant because of auto-association of the HP-β-CD molecules in the mobile phase. Enthalpy-entropy compensation revealed that HP-β-CD-solute complexation had a greater effect on retention than RP18 stationary phase-solute interaction. This confirms that the main parameter determining retention in RPLC is the distribution of the solute in the mobile phase, and that interactions with the stationary phase play a minor role.

    Notes: Summary This paper describes the development of a chromatographic system for analysis of commercial ceramides structurally similar to those found in the stratum corneum. The ceramides used in this study contain different amine based (phytosphingosine, sphingosine and dihydrosphingosine) and fatty acids of different chain lengths and with different functional groups (hydroxylated and unsaturated). Non-aqueous reversed-phase (NARP) liquid chromatography with evaporative light-scattering detection (ELSD) were the techniques chosen in accordance with the nature of the ceramides. The eluent strength and the potential selectivity of different organic solvents were investigated. On a C18-bonded silica, the most promising chromatographic conditions employed a gradient from ACN-THF, 95∶5, to ACN-THF-PrOH, 35∶5∶60, in 15 min with a constant concentration of TEA (10 mM) and a stoichiometric amount of formic acid.

By using 4-methyl-2-thiouracil (MTU) as a derivatizing agent, new compounds have been formed from the Pt compounds and separated on a μ-Bondapak C18 column with isocratic elution and detection at 315 nm. Reactant concentration, methanol content, pH and the reaction time on yield of derivatives were investigated and the optimum conditions for the detection response were defined. The derivatives of each of the three platinum compounds formed in an acetate buffer solution containing 40% (v/v) methanol and 0.9% KCl solution at pH 3.7 and ambient temperature were only stable for one hour.

Rotation around the C−C σ-bonds in the digoxin molecule is presumed; the rod-like molecules of the newlyobtained digoxin penetrate stationary phase pores more easily thus increasing retention.

    Notes: Summary An all solid-state contact tubular PVC-matrix membrane electrode has been applied for potentiometric detection of inorganic and organic monovalent anions using phosphate and hydrogen phosphate eluents at low concentrations. This is a “monovalent detection method” as the selectivity of the electrode towards monovalent anions results in some other anions being undetected unless the concentration of those other anions is higher than 10−3 mol dm−3 in the sample solution injected. It takes only eight minutes to complete the separation with a good resolution. Theoretical and practical considerations are discussed, and in particular, sensitivity, linearity, detection limit and dynamic behaviour are presented. The use of an all solid-state contact bromide-selective electrode as a detector offers so far the best simultaneous sensitivity toward all anions when compared with other detection methods. Determination of Cl− and NO3 − ions in river, rain and drinking water samples without any further sample preconcentration has been successfully achieved. The detection limit is sub-ppb for most of anions in a 20 μL injection volume.

    Notes: Summary Short- and long-chain triacylglycerols (SLCT) are a family of lipids prepared by chemical or enzymatic interesterification of triacetin, tripropionin and/or tributyrin, and long-chain (C16!18) hydrogenated vegetable oils. In this study, a normal-phase cyanopropyl high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the separation and quantification of SLCT. The method is capable of separating SLCT mixtures, free fatty acids and the neutral lipid classes of saturated long-chain triacylglycerols, diacylglycerols and monoacylglycerols. To characterize the specific SLCT classes, a normal-phase HPLC procedure using a non-modified silica column was developed to separate the SLCT into individual isomers based on total carbon number and position of fatty acids on the glycerol backbone. Online coupling with a mass detector (LC/MS) allowed the identification of the individual triacylglycerol structures.

    Notes: Summary The structure of a C18 phase based on titania (C18-A), synthesized by the method of solution polymerization, is investigated by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The findings are compared with the results of a second C18 phase based on titania (C18-B) which was synthesized by the method of surface hydrosilation. The dynamic behavior of both phases is examined by1H MAS NMR detection of spinlattice relaxation times in the rotating frame (T1pH) and conventional spin-lattice relaxation times (T1). Due to a smaller ligand density, phase C18-A appears to be a somewhat more mobile than phase C18-B. The chromatographic capability of the phase C18-A is demonstrated by the separation of samples containing benzene derivates or anilines. The elution order is analogous to the phase C18-B, but for both test mixtures the polarity of the mobile phase has to be increased. Phase C18-A is classified as being polymeric by the Sander and Wise test, whereas phase C18-B shows intermediate retention behavior.

    Notes: Summary HPLC coupled in parallel to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) has been used to obtain1H NMR and mass spectra of a number of ecdysteroids present in an extract of the plantSilene otites. Reversed phase gradient chromatography was performed using a D20-acetonitrile-based solvent system. NMR and mass spectra were obtained for integristerone A, 20-hydroxyecdysone, 2-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone and 2-deoxyecdysone to provide structural confirmation using continuous and stopped flow HPLC-NMR. The combined HPLC-NMR-MS system described here provided a more comprehensive analysis of the ecdysteroids present in the extract than HPLC-NMR alone.

    Notes: Summary By using factor analysis, cluster analysis and multiple linear regression methods, two parameters, FHF and ECCR, were selected from eight solute-related structure parameters as showing the best correlation with retention data. The relationship between the retention data (k) and these two structure parameters were established for ten O-alkyl, O-(1-methylthioethylideneamino) phosphoramidate compounds under the experimental conditions studied. Retention data (k) for six other compounds that have a high correlation with structure parameters were predicted using these QSRR equations. The system was evaluated by comparing the experimentalk values with the predicted ones. Good agreement was obtained between the experimental and predictedk values.

    Notes: Abstract. An antiserum raised against the purified 33-kDa β-1,3-glucanase of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was employed to investigate the ultrastructural localization of the enzyme in wheat leaves infected with Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f.sp. tritici Eriks. and Henn. using a post-embedding immunogold labelling technique. In both compatible and incompatible interactions, β-1,3-glucanase was detected in the host plasmalemma and in the domain of the host cell wall near the plasmalemma of the mesophyll cells, but higher concentrations of the enzyme were detected in infected resistant wheat leaves than in infected susceptible ones. β-1,3-Glucanase was also found in the secondary thickening of xylem vessels and in the walls of guard cells, epidermal cells and phloem elements, while no labelling was observed in host organelles, viz. vacuoles, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, nuclei and chloroplasts. A low concentration of the enzyme was detected on the intercellular hyphal wall and in the hyphal cytoplasm. In the compatible interaction, β-1,3-glucanase was demonstrated to accumulate predominantly in the haustorial wall and extrahaustorial matrix. In the incompatible interaction, strong labelling for β-1,3-glucanase was found in host cell wall appositions, in the extracellular matrix in the intercellular space, and in electron-dense structures of host origin which occurred in the incompatible interaction only.

    Notes: Abstract  Neurofilaments, which are exclusively found in nerve cells, are one of the earliest recognizable features of the maturing nervous system. The differential distribution of neurofilament proteins in varying degrees of phosphorylation within a neuron provides the possibility of selectively demonstrating either somata and dendrites or axons. Non-phosphorylated neurofilaments typical of somata and dendrites can be visualized with the aid of monoclonal antibody SMI 311, whereas antibody SMI 312 is directed against highly phosphorylated axonal epitopes of neurofilaments. The maturation of neuronal types, the development of area-specific axonal networks, and the gradients of maturation can thus be demonstrated. Optimal immunostaining with SMI 311 and SMI 312 is achieved when specimens are fixed in a mixture of paraformaldehyde and picric acid for up to 3 days and sections are incubated free-floating. Neurons, with their dendritic domains immunostained by SMI 311 in a Golgi-like manner, can be completely visualized in relatively thick sections. The limitations of Golgi-preparations, such as glia-labeling, artifacts, and the staining of only a small non-representative percentage of existing neurons, are not apparent in SMI preparations, which additionally provide the possibility of selectively staining axonal networks. The results achieved in normal fetal brain provide the basis for studies of developmental disturbances.

    Notes: Abstract  Annexin 5, a unique calcium- and phospholipid-binding protein, has been investigated for its specific distribution in rat endocrine organs by immunocytochemistry with a specific antiserum to recombinant rat annexin 5. Follicular epithelial cells and parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland, adrenocortical cells of the zona fasciculata and zona reticularis, luteal cells, testicular interstitial cells, and Sertoli cells were shown to contain annexin 5. To examine whether the synthesis of annexin 5 would be affected by a change in humoral signal, the distribution of annexin 5 in the anterior pituitary was examined three weeks after ovariectomy. The withdrawal of ovarian hormones induced huge castration cells in the anterior pituitary gland, which contained abundant annexin 5. Annexin 5 was not detected in the pineal gland, the parathyroid gland, the islet of Langerhans, the adrenal medulla, zona glomerulosa cells, and granulosa cells. Since annexin 5 was shown to exist in many of the endocrine tissues examined, to be localized in specific cell types, and to be abundant in castration cells, it is suggested that annexin 5 contributes to secretory cell functions, which may be common to endocrine cells secreting chemically different hormones.

    Notes: Abstract  The localization of two salmon-type gonadotropin-releasing hormone (sGnRH) precursors, pro-sGnRH-I (short type) and pro-sGnRH-II (long type), was investigated by using in situ hybridization techniques in the brain of the landlocked sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka. We used 30-mer oligonucleotide probes complementary to pro-sGnRH-I and pro-sGnRH-II cDNA. No significant differences were observed in the localization of sGnRH neurons expressing pro-sGnRH-I and pro-sGnRH-II mRNAs; both were expressed in the olfactory nerve, the olfactory bulbs, the regions between the olfactory bulb and telencephalon, the ventral telencephalon, the preoptic area, and the hypothalamus. Almost all sGnRH neurons examined co-expressed both precursors. The expression of two sGnRH precursors in the same neuron and the wide distribution of such neurons in the brain suggest that there are no functional differences between the two precursors.

    Notes: Abstract Pancreatic acinar cells of euthermic, hibernating and arousing individuals of the hazel dormouse Muscardinus avellanarius (Gliridae) have been observed at the electron-microscopic level and analysed by means of ultrastructural morphometry and immunocytochemistry in order to investigate possible fine structural changes of cellular components during periods of strikingly different degrees of metabolic activity. During hibernation, the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) flatten assuming a parallel pattern, the Golgi apparatus is extremely reduced and the mitochondria contain many electron-dense particles. The cell nuclei appear irregularly shaped, with deep indentations containing small zymogen granules. They also contain abundant coiled bodies and unusual constituents, such as amorphous bodies and dense granular bodies. Large numbers of zymogen granules occur in all animals. However, the acinar lumina are open and filled with zymogen only in euthermic animals, whereas, in hibernating and arousing individuals, they appear to be closed. Morphometrical analyses indicate that, in pancreatic acinar cells, nuclei and zymogen granules significantly decrease in size from euthermia to hibernation, probably reflecting a drastic decrease of metabolic activities, mainly protein synthesis and processing. In all the studied animals, immunocytochemistry with specific antibodies has revealed an increasing gradient in α-amylase content along the RER-Golgi-zymogen granule pathway, reflecting the protein concentration along the secretory pathway. Moreover, during deep hibernation, significantly larger amounts of α-amylase accumulate in RER and zymogen granules in comparison to the other seasonal phases analysed. Upon arousal, all cytoplasmic and nuclear constituents restore their euthermic aspect and all morphometrical and immunocytochemical parameters exhibit the euthermic values, thereby indicating a rapid resumption of metabolic activities.

    Expression pattern for adrenomedullin during pancreatic development in the rat reveals a common precursor with other endocrine cell types (1998)

    Notes: Abstract  Adrenomedullin is an α-amidated 52-amino acid peptide involved in many physiological actions, among others the regulation of insulin secretion. Using immunohistochemical methods, we found that adrenomedullin immunoreactivity first appears at day 11.5 of embryonic development in the rat, coinciding with the appearance of pancreatic glucagon. The early appearance of adrenomedullin in the developing pancreas may indicate an active involvement in either the morphogenesis of the organ or its endocrine/paracrine/autocrine hormone regulation during intrauterine life. We also investigated the pattern of colocalizations of adrenomedullin with the other pancreatic hormones. At some point during development all the cell types express adrenomedullin, progressively evolving towards the adult pattern where only the pancreatic polypeptide cells contain a strong immunoreactivity for adrenomedullin. At this point the remaining cells of the islet are, in general, weakly stained. This sequential and time-dependent expression of adrenomedullin suggests a tight regulation similar to that observed for other modulatory substances responsible for embryonic morphogenesis.

    Biochemical identification and tissue-specific expression patterns of keratins in the zebrafish Danio rerio (1998)

    Notes: Abstract  We have identified a number of type I and type II keratins in the zebrafish Danio rerio by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, complementary keratin blot-binding assay and immunoblotting. These keratins range from 56 kDa to 46 kDa in molecular mass and from pH 6.6 to pH 5.2 in isoelectric point. Type II zebrafish keratins exhibit significantly higher molecular masses (56–52 kDa) compared with the type I keratins (50–48 kDa), but the isoelectric points show no significant difference between the two keratin subclasses (type II: pH 6.0–5.5; type I: pH 6.1–5.2). According to their occurrence in various zebrafish tissues, the identified keratins can be classified into “E” (epidermal) and “S” (simple epithelial) proteins. A panel of monoclonal anti-keratin antibodies has been used for immunoblotting of zebrafish cytoskeletal preparations and immunofluorescence microscopy of frozen tissue sections. These antibodies have revealed differential cytoplasmic expression of keratins; this not only includes epithelia, but also a variety of mesenchymally derived cells and tissues. Thus, previously detected fundamental differences in keratin expression patterns between higher vertebrates and a salmonid, the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, also apply between vertebrates and the zebrafish, a cyprinid. However, in spite of notable similarities, trout and zebrafish keratins differ from each other in many details. The present data provide a firm basis from which the application of keratins as cell differentiation markers in the well-established genetic model organism, the zebrafish, can be developed.

    Notes: Abstract  The number, distribution, and ultrastructural characteristics of mast cells were assessed in the tongue, heart, and kidney of the frog Rana esculenta. The density of tongue mast cells (253±45 mast cells/mm2) was significantly higher than that of the heart (5.3±0.4/mm2) and kidney (15.3±1.4 /mm2). A striking feature of this study was the remarkable association of frog mast cells to nerves. The ultrastructural study of the mast cell/nerve association demonstrated that mast cells were closely apposed to or even embedded in nerves. Mast cells were also physically associated with melanocytes even in the heart. Mast cells were Alcian blue+/safranin+ in the tongue and in the peritoneum, whereas in the heart and in the kidney they were Alcian blue–/safranin+. The mast cells in the lamina propria of the gastrointestinal tract were Alcian blue+/safranin–. The cytoplasm of frog mast cells was packed with numerous heterogeneous, membrane-bound granules. The ultrastructure of these cytoplasmic granules was unique, being totally unlike any other previously described granules in other animal species as well as in man. The histamine content/frog mast cell (≈0.1 pg/cell) was approximately 30 times lower than that of human mast cells isolated from different tissues (≈3 pg/cell). A monoclonal anti-histamine antibody was used to confirm the ultrastructural localization of histamine in secretory granules in frog mast cells.

    Notes: Abstract  Prior studies have revealed the presence of chymotrypsinlike protease in peripheral organs, although no definitive evidence for the synthesis of this enzyme in tissue other than the pancreas is available. In an attempt to detect chymotrypsinogen mRNA in peripheral organs, a fragment of the pancreatic chymotrypsin mRNA from rat was amplified using PCR. The sequence was identified as a portion of the rat chymotrypsin B gene overlapping exon 5 through exon 7. It was subcloned into the pGEM-4Z vector and used as a template for the vitro transcription of an antisense riboprobe. Using ribonuclease protection and Northern blot analyses, chymotrypsin mRNA was detected in the rat pancreas, stomach, duodenum, ovary, and spleen. Monoclonal and polyclonal antisera against chymotrypsin detected chymotrypsinlike immunoreactivity in rat and human pancreas, rat stomach, duodenum and jejunum. Electrophoresis and immunoblotting revealed chymotrypsin-chymotrypsinogen bands (25–29 kDa) in the stomach and duodenum. Synthesis of a potent protease such as chymotrypsin in tissue other than pancreas is significant, suggesting a potential physiological and/or pathological role in these tissues.

    Notes: Abstract  We have previously shown that a 90-kDa intra-acrosomal antigen, MN7, is restricted to the anterior acrosomal region of mouse, rat, and hamster spermatozoa. The present study has examined the localization and the behavior of MN7 during sperm maturation in the epididymis of the guinea pig by immunoelectron microscopy. MN7 showed not only a specific localization in the apical segment of the guinea pig sperm acrosome, but also a distinct alteration during maturation, as follows. MN7 was exclusively found both at the dorsal matrix and on the outer acrosome membrane (OAM)/matrix-associated materials in the apical segment. MN7 was initially distributed throughout the electron-lucent dorsal matrix in immature sperm but, during maturation, became more restricted to the spherical bodies within the electron-lucent area. MN7 on OAM/matrix-associated materials was first distributed along the ventral margin and the small area posterior to the dorsal matrix but, during maturation, disappeared from the ventral margin and became restricted to the dorsal region. These results indicate that MN7 is a good tool for studying the stepwise maturation of epididymal spermatozoa.

    Notes: Abstract  The ontogeny of pepsinogen C-producing cells in rat fundic glands was studied by means of light and electron microscopy using an antiserum raised against a synthetic peptide based on rat pepsinogen C. To confirm the immunocytochemistry results, the expression of rat pepsinogen C messenger RNA (mRNA) in the fundic gland was also examined by in situ hybridization using a digoxigenin-labeled RNA probe. In adult rats, pepsinogen C was produced by chief cells, mucous neck cells, and intermediate mucopeptic cells. Pepsinogen C-producing cells appeared in embryos as early as 18.5 days’ gestation. The development of these cells could be classified into four stages: (1) 18.5 days’ gestation to 0.5 days after birth; (2) 0.5 days to 2 weeks after birth; (3) 3–4 weeks after birth; (4) 4–8 weeks after birth. In embryos and young animals, pepsinogen C-producing cells were mucopeptic cells. By 4 weeks after birth, mucous neck cells could be distinguished morphologically. The maturation stages of the chief cells could be traced by electron microscopy along the longitudinal axis of the rat fundic gland by double-staining with anti-pepsinogen C antibody and periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate. Positive reactions for pepsinogen C and pepsinogen C mRNA expression were detected in mucous neck cells. Therefore, we conclude that mucous neck cells are precursor cells of chief cells. Mucous neck cells, intermediate cells, and chief cells are in the same differentiating cell lineage.

    Notes: Abstract  Ontogenic development of salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and chicken GnRH-II systems in masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) was examined. Salmon GnRH was first detected by radioimmunoassay in the embryo on day 36 after fertilization. Salmon GnRH-immunoreactive fibers were detected initially by immunocytochemistry in the vicinity of the olfactory placode of the embryo (day 36) and were distributed widely in the brain as well as in the pituitary gland of fish just after hatching (day 80). Salmon GnRH-immunoreactive neuronal somata were first detected about 6 months after fertilization in the rostroventral brain area, ranging from the olfactory nerve to the preoptic area. Salmon GnRH neuronal somata were detected earlier by in situ hybridization than by immunocytochemistry. Neuronal somata expressing salmon GnRH mRNA were first detected in the vicinity of the olfactory epithelium on day 40 and then were seen to be migrating from the olfactory epithelium, along the olfactory nerve, on day 60 and in the transitional area between olfactory nerve and olfactory bulb on day 80. In the brain, these neurons were first detected in the ventral olfactory bulb on day 80, and thereafter they were also detected in the caudal brain regions. The chicken GnRH-II system was detected later than the salmon GnRH system; chicken GnRH-II was first detected by radioimmunoassay on day 57, and chicken GnRH-II-immunoreactive fibers were first detected on day 67. Chicken GnRH-II-immunoreactive neuronal somata were not detected during the observation period. These results suggest that salmon GnRH neurons derive from the olfactory placode and then migrate into the brain and that salmon GnRH is synthesized before chicken GnRH-II.

    Notes: Abstract  Somatostatin immunoreactivity occurs in a specific subgroup of cholinergic descending interneurons in the myenteric plexus of the guinea-pig small intestine. In the present work, we made light- and electron-microscopic investigations of chemically defined inputs to these neurons, in order that the origins of the connections of other neurons with them could be deduced. Somatostatin-immunoreactive synapses and close contacts were found on the cell bodies and filamentous processes of somatostatin neurons; these were 84% of all inputs. It is thus confirmed that this class of interneuron forms chains that project anally. Descending interneurons with immunoreactivity for nitric oxide synthase provided 14% of inputs to somatostatin-immunoreactive descending interneurons. An antiserum against a calcium-binding protein, calbindin, was used as marker for the majority of intrinsic primary afferent neurons, AH/Dogiel type II neurons; this class of neurons provided only 2.5% of the inputs to somatostatin-immunoreactive descending interneurons. We conclude that somatostatin-immunoreactive descending interneurons are involved in the conduction of impulses distally along the full length of the small intestine, but receive only a minor input from calbindin-immunoreactive primary afferent neurons.

    Notes: Abstract  Neuropeptides with similarities to vertebrate tachykinins, designated tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs), have been identified in several insect species. In this investigation we have utilized an antiserum raised to one of the locust TRPs, locustatachykinin-I (LomTK-I), to determine the distribution pattern of LomTK-like immunoreactive (LTKLI) neurons in the developing nervous system of the moth Spodoptera litura. A number of LTKLI neurons could be followed from the larval to the adult nervous system: a set of median neurosecretory cells (MNCs) in the brain, a pair of brain descending neurons and a few sets on neurons in the ventral nerve cord. The distribution of LTKLI neurons in the adult brain is very similar to that seen in other insect species with prominent arborizations in the central body, antennal lobes, mushroom body calyces, optic lobe neuropils and other distinct neuropil areas in the protocerebrum and tritocerebrum. A new finding is the presence of LTKLI neurosecretory cells with axon terminals in the anterior aorta and corpora cardiaca, suggesting for the first time a neurohormonal role of tachykinin-related peptide(s) in insects. During postembryonic development the number of LTKLI neurons in the ventral nerve cord decreases somewhat, whereas the number increases in the brain. Thus the functional roles of TRPs may change to some extent during development.

    Notes: Abstract  Mammalian pinealocytes contain several synaptic membrane proteins which probably play a role in the targeting and exocytosis of secretory vesicles, in particular of synaptic-like microvesicles (SLMVs). The latter are considered as the endocrine equivalent of neuronal synaptic vesicles. By means of immunocytochemical techniques and immunoblot analyses, we now show that two further key components of the molecular apparatus regulating neurotransmitter release are present in the gerbil pineal gland, i.e., munc-18–1 and cysteine string protein (csp). In addition to varicosities of nerve fibres, munc-18–1 and csp could be localized to pinealocytes where both proteins were markedly enriched in process swellings. When using antibodies against csp for an immunogold electron-microscopic study of pinealocytes, gold particles consistently decorated profiles of pleomorphic SLMVs. Interestingly, we found that also the cytosolic protein munc-18, which is partially recruited to the plasmalemma in neurons, was associated to a significant extent with SLMVs of pinealocytes and synaptic vesicles of neurons, respectively. This localization implies that munc-18 at least partially exerts its regulatory functions while being bound to secretory vesicle membranes. Our results indicate that in endocrine cells such as pinealocytes the synaptic proteins munc-18–1 and csp play essential roles during the life cycle of SLMVs.

    Notes: Abstract  The convoluted cords present in the nuclei of rabbit primary spermatocytes and spermatids differ from previously described nuclear bodies. They are composed of proteic strands decorated with granules and, in most cases, are embedded in clusters of interchromatin granules. They are partly sensitive to trypsin and can be visualised with protein-specific stains. The decorating granules are similar in size and aspect to interchromatin granules. However, only the latter are continuously immunolabelled with anti-snRNPs (small ribonucleoproteins) antibodies during spermatogenesis. The complexity and organisation of the convoluted cords are modified specifically during cell differentiation. They might be involved in the storage, transport and release of interchromatin granules in male germ cells.

    Notes: Abstract  Electron and confocal microscopy, using immunocytochemical methods, was employed to assess osmotic water permeability of the frog (Rana temporaria) urinary bladder during transcellular water transport, induced by antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or by wash-out of autacoids from serosal, ADH-free Ringer solution. The increase of osmotic water permeability of the urinary bladder was accompanied by relevant ultrastructural changes, the most remarkable being: (1) the appearance of aggregates of intramembranous particles in the apical membrane of granular cells, and the extent of the membrane area covered by the aggregates proportional to that of the water flow; (2) redistribution of actin filaments in the cytoplasm of granular cells; judging from the anti-actin label density, the number of actin filaments in the apical region of cytoplasm was reduced by 2.5–4 times compared with normal; (3) a decrease in the total electron density of the cytoplasm due to the increased water content of granular cells.

    Notes: Abstract To identify the means by which phytohemagglutinin (PHA) exerts its toxicity on the potato leafhopper, four different methods (thick and semi-thin sectioning combined with immunofluorescent staining, in vitro receptor autoradiography, and immunoelectron microscopy) were used to elucidate the PHA target tissue, binding site, and its effects on this tissue. Sixteen 1- or 2-day-old female potato leafhoppers were fed for 36 h on each of three treatments: a control, diet or a diet containing either the PHA-E subunit or the PHA-L subunit. The PHA-E subunit, but not PHA-L, had previously been shown to be lethal. The insects were then prepared for both light and confocal microscopy. Analysis of images showed that PHA bound only to the surface of midgut epithelial cells of the potato leafhopper. PHA-E caused severe disruption, disorganization, and elongation of the brush border microvilli, and swelling of the epithelial cells into the lumen of the gut, leading to complete closure of the lumen. Furthermore, PHA-E stimulated the division of midgut epithelial cell nuclei, leading to two nuclei in each cell. Nuclei later elongated and degraded. In contrast, PHA-L had little effect on the epithelial cells of the midgut. It did not strongly bind to the surface of epithelial cells and caused much less disruption of brush-border microvilli, less disorganization of the cells and less elongation of nuclei. Strong binding of PHA occurred solely on the cell membrane of the brush border microvilli of epithelial cells. In contrast, the controls (i.e., midgut tissue, blocking agent, PHA, and antibodies) showed that midgut tissue was not autofluorescent and showed no fluorescent binding signal. Analysis of both bright- and dark-field images obtained by autoradiography and immunoelectron microscopy confirmed these findings.

    Notes: Abstract  Enamelins comprise an important family of the enamel matrix proteins. Porcine tooth germs were investigated immunochemically and immunocytochemically using two antibodies: a polyclonal antibody raised against the porcine 89-kDa enamelin (89 E) and an affinity purified anti-peptide antibody against the porcine enamelin amino-terminus (EN). Immunochemical analysis of layers of immature enamel from the matrix formation stage detected immunopositive protein bands ranging from 10 kDa to 155 kDa in the outer layer enamel sample irrespective of the antibodies used. In contrast, the middle and inner enamel layer mainly contained lower molecular weight enamelins. In immunocytochemical analyses of the differentiation stage, 89 E stained enamel matrix islands around mineralized collagen fibrils of dentin, while EN stained both enamel matrix islands and stippled material. At the matrix formation stage, both antibodies intensely stained enamel prisms located in the outer layer. In the inner layer, 89 E moderately stained enamel matrix homogeneously, while EN primarily stained the prism sheath. The intense immunoreaction over the surface layer of enamel matrix at the matrix formation stage, following staining with 89 E and EN, disappeared by the end of the transition stage and the early maturation stage, respectively. The Golgi apparatus and secretory granules in the ameloblasts from the late differentiation stage to the transition stage were immunostained by both antibodies. These results suggest that expression of enamelin continues from late differentiation to the transition stage and the cleavage of N-terminal region of enamelin occurs soon after secretion. Some enamelin degradation products, which apparently have no affinity for hydroxyapatite crystals, concentrate in the prism sheaths during enamel maturation.

    Notes: Abstract The binding sites of polyclonal antisera raised against the β-subunit of human thyroid-stimulating hormone (hTSHβ), hTSH, and ovine TSH (oTSH) have been localized in the pituitary gland of the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, using light microscopy. Reactivity toward anti-TSH antiserum was demonstrated in a slightly elongated and irregularly-shaped distinct cell type forming clusters in the dorso-central and ventral regions of the distal lobe. Their granules react with alcian blue (AB), and with periodic acid–Schiff (PAS), and after AB-PAS-orange G they stain blue or purple. The specificity of the different antisera was established by liquid-phase absorptions and confirmed in positive and negative tissue control systems. Our observations confirm that dipnoan (Neoceratodus) TSH shares a number of antigenic determinants with those of mammalian TSHβ and support the concept that mammalian TSHβ, or part of it, was established early in evolution, and that dipnoans (Neoceratodus) as living sarcopterygians may have an ancestor in common with the early amphibians. The mapping and detailed description of TSH-like immunoreactive cells may furnish a background to facilitate current and future analysis of the ontogeny and time course of TSH production and release in Neoceratodus in relation to different physiological conditions.

    Notes: Summary Many of the studies of chloroplast ontogeny in higher plants have utilized suboptimal conditions of light and growth to assess development. In this study, we utilized structural, immunological, and physiological techniques to examine the development of the chloroplast in fieldgrown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum cv. “MD 51 ne”). Our youngest leaf sample developmentally was completely folded upon itself and about 0.5 cm in length; leaves of this same plastochron were followed for three weeks to the fully expanded leaf. The chloroplasts at the earliest stage monitored had almost all of the lamellae in small, relatively electron-opaque grana, with relatively few thylakoids which were not appressed on at least one surface. During the development of the thylakoids, the membranes increase in complexity, with considerable stroma lamellae development and an increase in the number of thylakoids per granum. Besides the increase in complexity, both the size and numbers of the chloroplast increase during the development of the leaf. Developmental changes in six thylakoid proteins, five stromal proteins, and one peroxisomal protein were monitored by quantitative immunocytochemistry. Even at the earliest stages of development, the plastids are equipped with the proteins required to carry out both light and dark reactions of photosynthesis. Several of the proteins follow three phases of accumulation: a relatively high density at early stages, a linear increase to keep step with chloroplast growth, and a final accumulation in the mature chloroplast. Photosystem-II(PS II)-related proteins are present at their highest densities early in development, with an accumulation of other parts of the photosynthetic apparatus at a latter stage. The early accumulation of PS-II-related proteins correlates with the much lower ratio of chlorophylla tob in the younger leaves and with the changes in fluorescence transients. These data indicate that some of the conclusions on chloroplast development based upon studies of intercalary meristems of monocots or the greening of etiolated plants may not be adequate to explain development of chloroplasts in leaves from apical meristems grown under natural conditions.

    Notes: Summary The monoclonal antibodies MAC236 and MAC265, raised against a soluble component of pea nodules, were used to elucidate the presence and subcellular localization of glycoprotein epitopes during the development of lupin (Lupinus albus L. cv. Multolupa) nodules, by means of immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis. These antibodies recognize a single band of 95 kDa in pea, soybean and bean nodules, whilst two different bands of 240 and 135 kDa cross-react with MAC236 and MAC265 respectively in lupin nodules. This fact may indicate that the recognized epitopes can be present in different subcellular compartments and/or play different roles through the development of functional nodules. The results show that MAC265 is mainly associated with Bradyrhizobium infection and with the development of nodule primordium, in the first stages of nodulation. MAC265 is also detected when glycoprotein transport takes place across the cytoplasm and the cell wall, and also in the intercellular spaces of the middle cortex, attached to cell walls. The amount of MAC265 remains constant through nodule development. In contrast the amount of MAC236 increases with nodule age, parallel to the establishment of nitrogenase activity. This antibody is localized in cytoplasmic globules attached to the inner side of cell walls in the middle cortex, and mainly in the matrix filling the intercellular spaces of the middle and inner cortex. This main site of localization of MAC236 may indicate a role in the functioning of the oxygen diffusion barrier.

    Notes: Summary Most cell wall components are carbohydrate including the major matrix polysaccharides, pectins and hemicelluloses, and the arabinogalactan-protein proteoglycans. Both types of molecules are assembled in the Golgi apparatus and transported in secretory vesicles to the cell surface. We have employed antibodies specific to β-(1→6) and β-(1→4)-D-galactans, present in plant cell wall polysaccharides, in conjunction with immunofluorescence and electron microscopy to determine the location of the galactan-containing components in the cell wall and Golgi stacks of flax root tip tissues. Immunofluorescence data show that β-(1→4)-D-galactan epitopes are restricted to peripheral cells of the root cap. These epitopes are not expressed in meristematic and columella cells. In contrast, β-(1→6)-D-galactan epitopes are found in all cell types of flax roots. Immunogold labeling experiments show that both epitopes are specifically located within the wall immediately adjacent to the plasma membrane. They are also detected in Golgi cisternae and secretory vesicles, which indicates the involvement of the Golgi apparatus in their synthesis and transport. These findings demonstrate that the synthesis and localization of β-(1→4)-D-galactan epitopes are highly regulated in developing flax roots and that different β-linked D-galactans associated with cell wall polysaccharides are expressed in a cell type-specific manner.

    Notes: Summary In eukaryotic organisms ferritin is a protein involved in the storage of iron. The occurrence of ferritin and its relationship to the effectiveness of the nitrogen-fixing activity have been previously studied during the early stages of the nodule development by biochemical methods. We have used immunocytochemistry techniques to determine the precise location of ferritin and the behavior of this protein along the nodule development. The major localization was found in plastids and amyloplasts of infected and uninfected cells of the three legume nodules studied. A decrease of the immunolabelling was observed in infected cells of lupin and soybean senescing nodules and in the senescent zone of indeterminate alfalfa nodules. In the cortex of soybean and lupin nodules, ferritin increased during nodule ageing and the immunogold particles were mainly located in crystalline structures.

    Notes: Summary An ion-pair HPLC method is presented for the determination in plasma of 2,4- and 2,6-toluendiamine (TDA), known carcinogens. The chromatographic conditions consisted in isocratic elution on a reversed phase C18 column with 5 mM octanesulfonic acid in methanol-water, 45∶55, as mobile phase. UV detection was performed at 235 nm. Samples were analyzed after a simple single step liquid-liquid extraction and the method was validated by measurement of precision (interassay and intraassay), sensitivity, specificity, linearity, and recovery. The detection limit for both TDAs in plasma was 20 ng mL−1. The correlation coefficients based on the intrassay calibration curve were 0.998 and 0.997 for 2,6- and 2,4-TDA, respectively. The intraassay accuracy, expressed in terms of recovery, was found to be up to 89.91% and 97.05% for 2,6- and 2,4-TDA, respectively.

    Notes: Summary The ion-exchange retention behavior of titania synthesized in our laboratory was investigated by ion chromatography of inorganic anions and cations. Dilute acetic acid-sodium acetate and bicine-sodium hydroxide buffers were used as mobile phases with no use of suppresor. We observed that the titania, although poor at separating monovalent anions expcept nitrite ion in this experiment, was both an anion and a cation exchanger, and selectively retained fluoride and carbonate ions. We concluded that because of its specific retention properties there were possibilites of using this amphoteric exchanger for simultaneous analysis of anions and cations, and of using it as a selective packing material for ion chromatography.

    Notes: Summary The chromatographic behaviour of a series of morphine-based opiates has been investigated using a porous graphitic carbon packing material at acid and alkaline pH. The effects of mobile phase pH, mobile phase organic percentage, column temperature and ionpairing agents were studied. All six opiates were separated within a close retention window despite large differences in measured lipophilicities of the individual opiates. The retention order was not related to the log P values of the opiates and strong retention of the fully ionised compounds was observed, particularly those with acidic functional groups. The effect of pH on the retention of the compounds indicated that the degree of ionisation of the individual compounds was important in the separation mechanism, suggesting that hydrophobic interactions were present in addition to the polar retentive effects observed above. The strong retention of the ionised glucuronide and sulphate conjugates of morphine is a particularly useful feature of the porous graphitic carbon packing material which has general applicability to the analysis of polar or ionised drug metabolites.

    Notes: Summary A new restricted access media (RAM) type of precolumn, Bio Trap 500 C18, for direct injection of plasma samples in column-switching systems was evaluated with respect to the elution of plasma proteins in different mobile phases, the loading capacity of plasma samples, the chromatographic behavior during plasma injections and protein contamination of the packing and sealings. More than 95% of plasma proteins could be excluded from the precolumn within three minutes for all selected mobile phases. Quantitative analyte recoveries could be obtained by injecting plasma samples ranging from 5 to 500 μL with the analyte mass〉150 ng onto a BioTrap 500 C18 column (20×4 mm I.D.). One precolumn tolerated about 15 mL of plasma injection without out noticeable change in retention and pressure. Clogging of the precolumn was encountered (≥45 mL of plasma) due mainly to the adsorption of proteins on the packing. The performance of the analytical column (Kromasil C18) was also examined. The column efficiency decreased by 60% after processing 45 mL plasma in total.

    Notes: Summary A new high performance liquid chromatography method for the characterisation of toluene-soluble fractions of pitches has been developed. Although a chromatographic system typical of size exclusion chromatography was used, results indicate that, for these structurally complex samples, separation does not follow the usual discrimination by molecular size. A differentiation between several classes of polyaromatic hydrocarbons is achieved instead. Data are reported on the analysis of individual standard polyaromatic hydrocarbons, showing that four different elution ranges can be observed: three ofcata-condensed compounds (Cata1, Cata2 and Cata3) and one ofperi-condensed compounds (Peri). Results are reported proving the capacity of this high performance liquid chromatography method to distinguish between pitches of different origin and nature. It is also effective for the study of the chemical reactions occurring during heat treatment.

    Notes: Summary Myelobromol 1,6-dibromo-1,6-dideoxy-D-mannitol (dibromomannitol, DBM) is a bifunctional alkylating agent that has been in clinical use since 1963. It is currently included at high dose in preconditioning regimen for bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and is a main-stay of treatment for polycythaemia vera. A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of DBM in the plasma. The basis of the assay is a derivatization with sodium-diethyldithiocarbamate at 42°C in the presence of 1-bromo-1-deoxy-3,6-anhydro-galactitol as internal standard (IS). The analysis was carried out on a 250×4mm Hypersil 5 CPS column equipped with a 20×4 mm Hypersil 10 CPS precolumn. The eluent consisted of heptane:isopropyl-alcohol: glacial acetic acid=600:76:80 w/w. The flow rate was 1.2 mL min−1. UV detection was performed at 254 nm. The calibration graph was linear in the concentration range of 2.5–260 μM of DBM in plasma. The limit of detection was 1.0 μM. The precision and accuracy of the method was between the good laboratory practice (GLP) required limits.

    Notes: Summary Biologically active amines (putreanine sulphate, N-acetyl putrescine, putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, agmatine, N-acetyl spermidine, spermidine, spermine) were separated and quantified in cereal flour and cereal products by a liquid chromatographic method. The method consists of the separation of ion pairs formed between biologically active amines and octanesulphonic acid on a reversed-phase column, postcolumn derivatization with o-phtalaldehyde-2-mercapthoethanol and spectrofluorometric detection. Results of the reliability study were satisfactory. The method was linear for each amine at 1–10 mg L−1. Putrescine and spermidine were the only amines always detected in cereal flour and cereal products, ranging from 2.45 to 47.83 mg kg−1 for putrescine and 3.27 to 37.14 mg kg−1 for spermidine. The most important differences among types of samples were found in polyamine derivatives.

    Notes: Summary The effect of composition and flow rate of the mobile phase on the HPLC separation of hydrogenated buckminsterfullerene (C60Hn n=2–38) was investigated on BuckySep column. Toluene was used as the basic solvent and hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, THF, acetonitrile, acetone, ethanol and 2-propanol as co-solvents. The fraction of co-solvents was varied 10–80%, and the flow rate 1–0.1 mL min−1. Toluene-acetonitrile 65∶35 and toluene-acetone 50∶50 provided the best separation. Under the best conditions complete separation of C60H2 and almost complete separation of the four most abundant isomers of C60H4 were achieved. Separation of derivatives with higher hydrogen content was very poor.

    Notes: Summary The preparative chromatographic enantioseparation of a chiral morphoanthridine analog has been performed on an analytical column using amylose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) as chiral stationary phase. The racemate (100 mg) was resolved to baseline within 15 min. This paper describes the development of the method, estimation of the capacity of the chiral stationary phase and discussed the potential of the chromatography if performed under preparative conditions. From the results and calculations presented it seems likely that the resolution of 70 tons year−1 could easily be achieved on 30 kg of stationary phase with a mobile-phase consumption of only 720 L day−1.

    Notes: Summary Two amperometric biosensors were used as detection units in liquid chromatography for on-line monitoring of the production of fuel ethanol during a fermentation. Sampling was performed with a microdialysis probe, and the dialysate was introduced into a liquid chromatographic system providing separation of the substrates and the product: three monosaccharides and ethanol. The analytes were detected by two carbon paste electrodes based on pyranose oxidase and alcohol oxidase, respectively, co-immobilised with horseradish peroxidase, operating in parallel at −50 mVvs. Ag/AgCl. The measured linear ranges of the biosensors by direct injection into the LC system were for glucose 0.3–2.5 g L−1, xylose 0.5–6.7 g L−1, galactose 0.5–6.7 g L−1, and ethanol 1.6–11.7 g L−1, respectively. Injection of standard solutions were required to monitor the stability of the biosensors. Due to the strict selectivity of the biosensors, no interference from other compounds in the broth was encountered from other compounds in the broth was encountered in the quantification. The fermentation process was monitored for 16 h. The on-line results were compared with off-line measurements.

    Notes: Summary An HPLC method has been developed for the quantification of cisapride in plasma for pharmacokinetic studies. Clebopride was used as internal standard. Plasma samples were extracted at alkaline pH withtert-butyl methyl ether. The organic phase was then extracted with sulphuric acid to eliminate endogenous interferences, and cisapride and the internal standard were then extracted at alkaline pH intotert-butyl methyl ether. After evaporation oftert-butyl methyl ether, the residue was analysed by HPLC. Chromatography was performed at 20°C on a 250mm×4mm i.d. reversed-phase column selective for basic compounds. The isocratic mobile phase was 48∶52 (v/v) acetonitrile-water containing 0.05 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.04 M triethylamine, adjusted to pH 5.5; the flow rate was 1 mL min−1. Cisapride and the internal standard were detected by ultraviolet monitoring at 276 nm. The calibration graph was linear for quantities of cisapride from 1 to 200 ng mL−1. Intra- and inter-day precision (CV) did not exceed 13.98%. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0.68 ng mL−1 for human plasma. The applicability of the method has been demonstrated in a pharmacokinetic study of normal volunteers who received 10 mg cisapride orally.

    Notes: Summary Native and derivatized β-cyclodextrins such as chiral stationary phases (CSP) were used for the simultaneous enantiomeric separation of four methylenedioxylated amphetamines (MDA, MDMA, MDEA and MBDB) by liquid chromatography. Fluorimetric detection was used in order to enhance sensitivity and selectivity. The mobile phase was, optimised by studying the influence of pH, triethylamine concentration, organic solvent type, column temperature and flow rate of the mobile phase. This method was validated by determining linearity, precision, accuracy, limits of detection and quantification, and was applied to the stereoselective analysis of illicit tablets (23 samples) and of human whole blood samples (spiked samples and two post-mortem cases). Whereas no significant deviation from a racemic ratio was observed in the tablets contents, the analysis of blood samples showed an enantioselective metabolism of MDMA.

    Notes: Summary A new procedure for continuous cleanup and concentration of hydroxyvitamin D3 metabolites prior to their separation by HPLC and UV-detection is reported. The process is based on the use of aminopropyl-silica as solid-phase sorbent as an alternative to the use of nonpolar sorbents. The improvement thus achieved has been tested by comparing the results with those obtained using octadecyl-C18 as non-polar sorbent. The comparison has been based on the calibration graphs (linear range, detection and quantitation limits), precision and multiple standard addition method.

    Simultaneous determination of 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylglycol, and their precursors, in human urine by HPLC with electrochemical detection (1998)

    Notes: Summary A method has been developed for the quantification of urinary 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid (DOMA), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid (VMA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG), and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyglycol (MHPG). Separation and determination of these compounds in biological samples was previously thought to be very difficult. In this work the separation has been achieved by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with step-wise gradient elution with three mobile phases. The conditions for coulometric detection have been optimized for effective determination of these compounds. In analysis of a sample of human urine, after a simple deproteinization proceudre, DOMA, VMA, DHPG, and MHPG were separated from interferences and quantified successfully; the average levels of these compounds in six different samples were 33.87±1.03, 1202±41.3, 31.3±1.92, and 80.6±2.15 μg (24 h)−1, respectively. Their precursors E, MN, DOPA, DA, NE, DOPAC, HVA, 3MT, and NMN, and the indolamine 5HT and its metabolite 5HIAA (a list of abbreviations is given at the end of the paper) can also be determined simultaneously in the same chromatographic run. The overlapping peak of DHPG was resolved by deconvolution.
