Observations on the Annulate Lamellae of Immature Amphibian Oocytes
Electron microscopy has established the existence of a complex membranous-bound system of cavities, the endoplasmic reticulum, in the cytoplasm of numerous cells (1). By means of the same technique, what may be parts of another cytoplasmic organelle, the annulate lamellae (2), has also been discovered. These usually consist of a number of parallel, double-membraned sheets, each of which structu...
متن کاملIntranuclear and Cytoplasmic Annulate Lamellae in Tunicate Oocytes
Electron microscope studies were made on various tunicate oocytes at different stages of growth and development. Both the inner and outer lamellae of the perforated nuclear envelope demonstrate considerable blebbing activity. The blebs of the inner lamella detach into the nucleoplasm where they undergo a special type of fusion process resulting in the formation of numerous, usually single, diff...
متن کاملElectron Microscope Studies on the Origin of Annulate Lamellae in Oocytes of Necturus
Developing oocytes, ranging from approximately 0.1 to 1.0 mm in diameter, in Necturus were studied with the electron microscope. The outer layer of the nuclear envelope is actively engaged in the formation of vesicular elements along most of its surface, especially in smaller oocytes. Groups of vesicles appear to be released into the ooplasm at about the same time, resulting in long chains of i...
متن کاملAnnulate lamellae: comparison of antigenic epitopes of annulate lamellae membranes with the nuclear envelope
Annulate lamellae (AL) are a membranous structure frequently observed in differentiating gametes and tumor cells. In spite of numerous morphological studies, the function and biochemical composition of this membrane system are not well understood. In this study, we have examined the AL membrane system of vinblastine-treated mouse L cells using immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis. Our ...
متن کاملThe Fine Structure of Annulate Lamellae
Certain lamellar structures have been described from snail (Otala) and clam (Spisula) oocytes, the acinar cells of amphibian (Ambystoma) pancreas, and from rat spermatids. These structures are alike in possessing numerous rings or annuli, resembling those in the nuclear membrane. Thus the name "annulate lamellae" has been proposed for them. It is suggested that they may function in the transfer...
