Nonspecific esterase and E-rosette formation of bottle-nosed dolphin lymphocytes
نویسنده
چکیده
N.N. Kavtsevich Murmansk marine biological institute KSC RAS, 17, Vladimirskaya str., Murmansk, 183010, Staining of bottle-nosed dolphin lymphocytes by nonspecific esterase stain and E-rosette test were performed. 35.4 % of lymphocytes were simultaneously E-rosetted and NE positive. They are apparently, mature T-cells. On the size and shape of esterase-positive granules at least 2 subpopulations of lymphocytes are distinguishable.

Cloning and sequencing of a bottle-nosed dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) interleukin-4-encoding cDNA.
Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a bottle-nosed dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) interleukin-4 (IL4) cDNA was cloned and sequenced. IL4 specific primers were based on the 5' and 3' untranslated regions of the human and murine IL4 gene. The dolphin IL4 cDNA is 528 base pairs in length and contains an open reading frame of 402 nucleotides coding an IL4 precursor of 133 amino acids, with the put...

The visual system of the dolphin, particularly the bottle-nosed dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, has been observed extensively in the field from a behavioral aspect. However, from a physiological perspective, Pryor quoted one researcher as follows. “Compared to our knowledge of vision in terrestrial animals, our fundamental knowledge of the cetacean’s highly evolved and very different eye is ‘pathe...
متن کاملNonspecific Esterase of B Lymphocytes From a Case of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and of Normal T Lymphocytes: Similar Constellations of Isoenzymes
Lymphocytes from a case of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLI) were obtained in a highly purified state from a therapeutic leukapheresis preparation. The CLL lymphocytes showed a fine, scattered, granular pattern of nonspecific esterase cytochemical reactivity with either a-naphthyl acetate (aNA) or a-naphthyl butyrate (aNB) substrate as opposed to the more focal pattern of control (T) ly...

Lymphocytes from a case of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) were obtained in a highly purified state from a therapeutic leukapheresis preparation. The CLL lymphocytes showed a fine, scattered, granular pattern of nonspecific esterase cytochemical reactivity with either alpha-naphthyl acetate (alpha NA) or alpha-naphthyl butyrate (alpha NB) substrate as opposed to the more focal pattern...
