چکیده

Trypan blue is known to produce embryonic abnormalities in a wide variety of animals, including rats (Gillman, Gilbert, Gillman & Spence, 1948), mice (Waddington & Carter, 1953; Hamburgh, 1954), amphibians (Waddington & Perry, 1956), chickens (Beaudoin & Wilson, 1958;Stephan & Sutter, 1961), rabbits (Ferm, 1956), and hamsters (Ferm, 1958). Studies on the teratogenic action of this dye have also been made in culture (Mulherkar, 1960). Since the first observation of the teratogenic action of trypan blue in rat embryos (Gillman et al. 1948), two questions that have remained unanswered are (1) whether the dye acts directly on the embryo or via the maternal system, and (2) what determines the period during which the rat embryo is most sensitive to the dye. The following account is an extension of a preliminary report (Turbow, 1965) on the direct effect of trypan blue on the isolated rat embryo cultivated in vitro and the role of the yolk-sac placenta in determining the period of sensitivity to the teratogenic action of the dye; the possible mechanisms of the teratogenic effect of the dye have also been investigated, and the results are discussed.

Compounds used to produce cloned animals are genotoxic and mutagenic in mammalian assays in vitro and in vivo

The compounds 6-dimethylaminopurine and cycloheximide promote the successful production of cloned mammals and have been used in the development of embryos produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer. This study investigated the effects of 6-dimethylaminopurine and cycloheximide in vitro, using the thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide colorimetric assay to assess cytotoxicity, the trypan blue exclus...

The effect of trypan blue on the growth of the rat embryo in vivo.

In a previous paper (Berry, 1968) it has been demonstrated, by comparison of in vivo and in vitro growth of the rat foetus, that it is possible to dissociate growth and differentiation in the rat. In a series now exceeding 1000 embryos it is evident that for a given somite number the protein content of an animal developing in vitro might be less than half that of the normal control, suggesting ...

The effects of trypan blue on chick embryos cultured in vitro.

VARIOUS malformations in rats and mice have been observed to be caused by administration of the vital dye, Trypan blue (Gillman, Gilbert, Gillman, & Spence, 1948; Fox & Goss, 1956, 1957; Hamburgh, 1952, 1954; Waddington & Carter, 1952, 1953). Recently Waddington & Perry (1956) reported a teratogenic effect of Trypan blue on Amphibian embryos. The present paper deals with the effects of this dye...

Accumulation of DNA, RNA, and protein by cultured rat embryos following maternal administration of a teratogenic dose of trypan blue.

The effect of trypan blue on the rates of DNA, RNA, and protein accumulation in rat embryos was investigated using a system of whole embryo culture. Embryos were isolated on the 10th gestational day (sperm day = Day 0) either 4 or 24 hr after maternal injection. The cultivation period was for 24 or 42 hr. The rate of DNA and RNA accumulation in the embryo following either a 4- or 24-hr previous...
