Bone-marrow of the Guinea-pig as a Mesodermal Inductor in Implantation Experiments with Embryos of Triturus
نویسنده
چکیده
LEVANDER (1938) has shown that an alcohol extract prepared from bone can, when injected into rabbit muscle, induce there cartilage and bone cells. This observation has been confirmed by several investigators (Annersten, 1940; Bertelsen, 1944; Lacroix, 1945; Levander, 1949; Willestaedt, Levander & Hult, 1950). Of these, Bertelsen has shown in addition that not only is an extract prepared from bone proper active, but also that an extract prepared from bonemarrow is even more active. In addition to the authors mentioned above, Schreiber (1950) has lately dealt with the problem. He has assumed, on good grounds, that the agent inducing bone and cartilaginous tissue in the experiments mentioned above is similar, as regards its chemical nature, to the 'spinal' inducing agent in my experiments (Toivonen, 1940,1949 a and b, 1950). This assumption of Schreiber's has prompted me to investigate experimentally the inducing action of bone-marrow when implanted into the gastrula of Triturus.

Fish swimbladder : an excellent meso dermal inductor in primary embryonic induction IZUMI KAWAKAMI
Swimbladder of the crucian carp, Carassius auratus, was found to be better as a vegetalizing tissue than other tissues, such as guinea-pig bone marrow, when presumptive ectoderm of Triturus gastrulae was used as reacting tissue. Swimbladder usually induced assemblies of highly organized mesodermal tissues, such as notochord, somites and pronephric tubules, some of which were covered by mesoderm...

Using isolated presumptive ectoderm of the newt (Triturus pyrrhogaster) embryos as a reactor and extract of rat bone marrow as a mesodermal inductor, changes of cell number and mitotic index of the reactor cells were studied. In early stages of cultivation the increase in cell number in the mesodermalized ectodermal piece was slower than in the non-mesodermalized epidermal piece; but after 24 h...

In this research, anatomical descriptions of the structure of the temporal bone and auditory ossicles have been performed based on dissection of ten guinea pigs. The results showed that, in guinea pig temporal bone was similar to other animals and had three parts; squamous, tympanic and petrous .The tympanic part was much better developed and consisted of oval shaped tympanic bulla with many re...

In this study granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF) was prepared from rabbit and guinea pig lung tissues. The biological activity of these CSFs was measured on semisolid agar culture and compared with those of mouse and rat. Weight of animals, incubation time and cross-reactivity of CSFs with different bone marrow sources were also investigated. The results showed that both...
