    Notes: Abstract Vascular disintegration mainly of medulla rays of spruce roots is of major significance in root rot disease of spruce caused byH. annosum. Using seedling roots as an experimental model, the possible routes and initial host reactions preceding invasion of vascular tissues was investigated. Transmission electron microscopy showed that penetration through the endodermis was an obvious route but not without host resistance. Using antibodies againstH. annosum hyphal materials, some labelling of vascular tissues remote from sites of fungal colonization suggest the release of fungal secretory products partly active in tissue disintegration. Similarly, intense labelling was also observed in severely colonized host tissues at late stages of infection. Strong labelling recorded at 3 d p.i. mainly on fungal hyphae and scant gold particles on invaded host tissues could imply that induction of host antifungal metabolites may have been a late event. A correlation was found between total antigenic material in root homogenates measured by ELISA, density of tissue labelling by immunocytochemistry and severity of disease symptoms. The importance of this in relation to diagnosis of biotic root rot diseases in the field is discussed.

    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.

    Immunogold silver staining for light microscopy (1996)

    Notes: Abstract The immunogold silver staining method (IGSS) is widely used as a sensitive and specific immunohistochemical visualisation technique. IGSS involves the specific deposition of metallic silver at the site of immunogold labelling and provides a means of visualisation at low magnification by light or electron microscopy. Silver developers for IGSS rapidly deposit metallic silver only at the site of heavy metals, including gold and silver, because of their catalytic activity. The developing solution contains the silver ions and reducing agent necessary for this reaction. Using different silver salts as ion donors and by selecting an appropriate temperature and pH, visible amounts of silver can be deposited in a few minutes at the site of colloidal gold labelling while little non-specific background deposition occurs. Inclusion of protective colloids in the solution can also be used to control the reaction. Although studies of the chemical basis of silver deposition around unlabelled colloidal gold date back to 1939, immunogold enhancement by silver was established in 1983. The IGSS method evolved from the combination of disparate photographic, histochemical and immunogold techniques which have been effectively combined and optimised over the last 10 years to provide a visualisation system which is well suited to many immunohistochemical studies.

    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.

    The AQP2 water channel: Effect of vasopressin treatment, microtubule disruption, and distribution in neonatal rats (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Aquaporin 2 is a collecting duct water channel that is located in apical vesicles and in the apical plasma membrane of collecting duct principal cells. It shares 42% identity with the proximal tubule/thin descending limb water channel, CHIP28. The present study was aimed at addressing three questions concerning the location and behavior of the AQP2 protein under different conditions. First, does the AQP2 channel relocate to the apical membrane after vasopressin treatment? Our results show that AQP2 is diffusely distributed in cytoplasmic vesicles in collecting duct principal cells of homozygous Brattleboro rats that lack vasopressin. In rats injected with exogenous vasopressin, however, AQP2 became concentrated in the apical plasma membrane of principal cells, as determined by immunofluorescence and immunogold electron microscopy. This behavior is consistent with the idea that AQP2 is the vasopressin-sensitive water channel. Second, is the cellular location of AQP2 modified by microtubule disruption? In normal rats, AQP2 has a mainly apical and subapical location in principal cells, but in colchicine-treated rats, it is distributed on vesicles that are scattered throughout the entire cytoplasm. This is consistent with the dependence on microtubules of apical protein targeting in many cell types, and explains the inhibitory effect of microtubule disruption on the hydroosmotic response to vasopressin in sensitive epithelia, including the collecting duct. Third, is AQP2 present in neonatal rat kidneys? We show that AQP2 is abundant in principal cells from neonatal rats at all days after birth. The detection of AQP2 in early neonatal kidneys indicates that a lack of this protein is not responsible for the relatively weak urinary concentrating response to vasopressin seen in neonatal rats.

    Notes: Abstract The probable presence of oxytocin in the hypothalamo-hypophysial system of two reptilian species, the snake Natrix maura and the turtle Mauremys caspica, was re-investigated. A high-pressure liquid chromatographic analysis of the turtle neural lobe revealed the existence of vasotocin, mesotocin, and a third compound co-eluting with oxytocin. Brains from both species were fixed by vascular perfusion with Bouin's fluid. Adjacent paraffin sections were immunostained using antisera against the following substances: (1) bovine oxytocin-neurophysin; (2) a mixture of bovine oxytocin-neurophysin and vasopressin-neurophysin; (3) dogfish neurophysins; (4) oxytocin; (5) arginine-vasotocin; (6) mesotocin; (7) somatostatin. Immunoreactivity against oxytocin was found in parvocellular neurons of the snake suprachiasmatic nucleus and cerebrospinal-fluid contacting neurons of the medial nucleus of the infundibular recess of both species, the latter immunoreactivity being much more conspicuous in the turtle. Numerous fibers containing immunoreactive oxytocin extended between the medial nucleus of the infundibular recess, and the internal region of the medium eminence and the neural lobe. The oxytocin-immunoreactivity in all locations was completely abolished by preabsorption of the anti-oxytocin serum with three different oxytocin preparations. None of the neurons of the suprachiasmatic and medial nucleus of the infundibular recess, including the oxytocin-immunoreactive elements, reacted with either the antineurophysin sera used, or the anti-vasotocin or anti-mesotocin antibodies. The possible existence of a reptilian oxytocin-neurophysin is discussed. The alternative that, in the reptilian hypothalamus, neurons synthesize a compound closely related to, but different from oxytocin is also considered.

    Notes: Abstract Salmon gonadotropin (GTH II) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone (α and IIβ subunits), serving as a maturational GTH, and is produced in a specific gonadotropic cell-type (GTH II-cells) containing small granules and large globules. In trout GTH II-cells, double immunolabeling for the α- and IIβ-subunits shows that colocalization of the α- and IIβ-immunolabeling is confined to the small granules, indicating storage of functional GTH II. On the other hand, α-immunolabeling is absent in the large globules, even though IIβ labeling is abundant throughout the period of seasonal gametogenesis. The α-specific antiserum recognizes the intact α-subunit as well as the reduced and deglycosylated α-subunits by immunoblotting. These results indicate that an accumulation of the IIβ-subunit is specifically generated in the large globules of these cells. In fact, with sexual maturity, the quantity of IIβ-subunits becomes elevated in the trout pituitary due to a marked increase in GTH II-cells containing many large globules. However, the derivation and function of the large globules and the fate of their contained IIβ-subunits remains unknown.

    Regeneration and post-metamorphic development of the central nervous system in the protochordate Ciona intestinalis: a study with monoclonal antibodies (1995)

    Notes: Abstract In this study, we use three monoclonal antibodies that recognise antigens present in the central nervous system of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis to study regeneration and post-metamorphic development of the neural ganglion. We have also used bromodeoxyuridine labelling to study generation of the neuronal precursor cells. The first antibody, CiN 1, recognises all neurones in the ganglion, whereas the second, CiN 2, recognises only a subpopulation of the large cortical neurones. Western blotting studies show that CiN 2 recognises two membrane-bound glycoproteins of apparent Mr 129 and 100 kDa. CiN 1 is not reactive on Western blots. Immunocytochemical studies with these antibodies show that CiN 1-immunoreactive neurone-like cells are present at the site of regeneration as early as 5–7 days post-ablation, a sub-population of CiN 2-immunoreactive cells being detected by 9–12 days post-ablation. The third antibody, ECM 1, stains extracellular matrix components and recognises two diffuse bands on Western blots of whole-body and ganglion homogenates. The temporal and spatial pattern of appearance of CiN 1 and CiN 2 immunoreactivity both during post-metamorphic development and in regeneration occurs in the same sequence in both processes. Studies with bromodeoxyuridine show labelled nuclei in some neurones in the regenerating ganglion. Plausibly these originate from the dorsal strand, an epithelial tube that reforms by cell proliferation during the initial phases of regeneration. A second population of cells, the large cortical neurones, do not incorporate bromodeoxyuridine and thus must have been born prior to the onset of regeneration. This latter finding indicates a mechanism involving trans-differentiation of other cell types or differentiation of long-lived totipotent stem cells.

    Notes: Abstract. Indirect immunofluorescence was used to localize embryonic myosin heavy chains in soleus, adductor longus, tibialis anterior, plantaris, and extensor digitorum longus muscles of 6-month-old rats. A monoclonal antibody (2B6), specifically recognizing rat embryonic myosin, was applied to unfixed, transverse, frozen sections. The number of embryonic myosin-positive (EMP) extrafusal fibers was expressed as a percentage of the total number of fibers. EMP extrafusal fibers were only seen in the soleus and adductor longus muscles, both postural muscles. Approximately 1% of the soleus muscle fibers appeared positively stained for embryonic myosin. The majority of such fibers had a small diameter (〈500 μ2), appeared intensely fluorescent, and typically contained central nuclei. Re-expression of embryonic myosin due to spontaneous fiber denervation is not a likely factor in this study, since alpha-bungarotoxin and N-CAM localization were restricted to the motor end-plate region of EMP fibers. Since embryonic myosin was shown to disappear in all normal-sized myofibers by 2 to 3 months of age, the results suggest that the EMP extrafusal fibers seen in postural muscles of 6 to 12-month-old animals are regenerating myofibers. We speculate that a small number of muscle fibers may be regenerating in normal, adult postural muscles, in response to fiber damage possibly caused by excessive recruitment or overloading.
