ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF LATENT PSITTACOSIS VIRUS IN McCOY CELLS

Electron Microscopy of Fowl Pox Virus

Electron microscopy of adhesive interactions between Gardnerella vaginalis and vaginal epithelial cells, McCoy cells and human red blood cells.

Exfoliated vaginal epithelial cells with attached bacteria, termed 'clue cells', which were procured from a patient with non-specific vaginitis, were stained with ruthenium red and examined by transmission electron microscopy. The attached bacteria appeared to adhere by means of an outer fibrillar coat. An epithelial tissue culture cell line (McCoy) and human red blood cells to which strains of...

The Virus of Psittacosis

The literature contains little reference to serological studies on the psittacosis virus, with the exception of work concerning the complement fixation reaction, which has been extensively investigated by Bedson (1933). Since the complement fixing antibodies were not considered in this study, no further reference need be made to this phase of the subject. Bedson (1932) attempted to produce anti...

Immunogold Labeling of Cultured Cells and Virus Particles for Electron Microscopy and Cryo-Electron Microscopy Applications

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) were first realized in the early 1980s [1] and mid-1990s [2, 3]. Since then both methods have quickly become a powerful tools in structural biology. The major advantage is that they allow for the acquisition of images of biological specimens persevered in their native state after they are plunge-frozen onto carbon-coated ...

Examination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy

In this paper many of the principal struc­ture of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed descrip­tion was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumo­cytes.  Acknowledgements  I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...
