T-Cell-Specific Membrane Antigens in the Mexican Axolotl (Urodele Amphibian)
Comparative analysis of SDS-PAGE patterns of axolotl spleen cells membrane detergent lysates showed important discrepancies between control and thymectomized animals. Among these, a 38-kD protein band, which appeared as a major protein in controls, was not or poorly expressed after thymectomy. A rabbit antiserum (L12) raised against the 38-kD eluted band labeled in indirect immunofluorescence 8...
متن کاملConserved structure of amphibian T - cell antigen receptor 8 chain ( T - ceil receptor / urodele amphibian / evolution )
All jawed vertebrates possess well-differentiated thymuses and elicit T-cell-like cell-mediated responses; however, no surface T-cell receptor (TCR) molecules or TCR genes have been identified in ectothermic vertebrate species. Here we describe cDNA clones from an amphibian species, Ambystoma mexicanum (the Mexican axolotl), that have sequences highly homologous to the avian and mammalian TCRI3...
متن کاملCourtship Pheromone Use in a Model Urodele, the Mexican Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum)
Sex pheromones have been shown to constitute a crucial aspect of salamander reproduction. Until now, courtship pheromones of Salamandridae and Plethodontidae have been intensively studied, but information on chemical communication in other urodelan families is essentially lacking. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum, Ambystomatidae) has a courtship display that suggests a key role for chemical com...
متن کامل21-P045 The role of β-catenin and VegT in the induction of mesoderm in the urodele amphibian, the axolotl
Previously, we identified Fgfr2 as the major Fgf receptor in liver specification. Expression of Hhex in the liver was reduced in Fgfr2 morphants. Unexpectedly, we found the relative position of the liver and pancreas were disrupted. In addition to visceral organs, we found the heart was randomized in Fgfr2 morphants. Expression patterns of genes controlling laterality including Spaw, lefty1 and...
متن کاملDiploid gynogenesis in the Mexican axolotl.
Gynogenetic diploid axolotls were produced by activating eggs with ultraviolet-inactivated sperm, and then subjecting the activated eggs to heat shock. Optimal conditions for ultraviolet inactivation of the sperm, and for suppression of the second meiotic division by heat shock, were established. Gynogenetic diploids produced by these procedures included progeny homozygous for recessive alleles...
