چکیده

The localization of cytokinins in corn root tips was investigated using antibodies or antibody fragments directed against dihydrozeatin riboside and labeled with rhodamine or colloidal gold. Roots were sectioned at -30 degrees to -40 degrees for immunofluorescence or freeze-substituted in ethanol or acetone and embedded in plastic for electron microscopy. Meristematic cells surrounding the quiescent center as well as root cap cells were specifically labeled using direct immunofluorescence techniques, whereas cells of the quiescent center did not bind label. Tissue sections treated with colloidal gold-labeled antibody fragments had gold particles widely distributed in the cytoplasm. The results show that the quiescent center is not the major site of cytokinin localization in root tips.

Functional and Molecular Characterization of C91S Mutation in the Second Epidermal Growth Factor-like Domain of Factor VII

Background: Coagulation Factor VII is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease which has a pivotal role in the initiation of the coagulation cascade. The congenital Factor VII deficiency is a recessive hemorrhagic disorder that occurs due to mutations of F7 gene. In the present study C91S (p.C91S) substitution was detected in a patient with FVII deficiency. This mutation has not b...

Cellular localization of a chromogranin B-like derived peptides in leeches.

Using immunocytochemistry techniques, we demonstrated specific immunostaining with antibodies rose against fragment (547-560) and (614-626) of bovine chromogranin B (CGB) at the level of brain and the tegument of the leech Theromyzon tessulatum. The used of these antibodies on leech sections revealed immunopositive labeling in neurons and glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS), and epi...

Specific MALDI imaging and profiling for biomarker hunting and validation: fragment of the 11S proteasome activator complex, Reg alpha fragment, is a new potential ovary cancer biomarker.

MALDI imaging mass spectrometry represents a new analytical tool to directly provide the spatial distribution and relative abundance of proteins in tissue. Twenty-five ovary carcinomas (stages III and IV) and 23 benign ovaries were directly analyzed using MALDI-TOF MS. The biomarker with the major prevalence (80%) has been fully identified using MALDI MS and nanoESI MS and MS/MS after separatio...

Experimental Investigation of Ki67, POU5F1, and ZBTB16 Expression in the Pig and Mouse Testicular Cells using Immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR

Introduction: Spermatogonial Stem Cells (SSC) are the originators and beginning points of the spermatogenesis process. Moreover, they are considered the only stem cells in the body that could transfer genetic information to the next generation through gametogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the potency and power of SSC under in vitro and in vivo conditions.   Materials & Methods:  Enzym...
