The fixation of nuclei and chromosomes.

چکیده
Chromosomes in the nuclei of living salivary glands of Simulium have been observed with Nomarski optics and polarized light before and during irrigation with various fixatives. All cause loss of chromosomal organization to some degree. The best fixative is redistilled glutaraldehyde; even so, although it leaves the nucleus visually unaltered, a network forms in the nuclear sap and birefringence is lost. Calcium ions in the fixative cause chromosomal movements. The fixatives may alter nucleoli and may dissolve them completely. New fixatives are needed for reliable fine-structural studies of chromosomal organization.

Background: Sperm chromatin insufficiencies leading to low sperm count and quality, infertility and transmission of chromosomal microdeletion and aneuploidies to next generations can be due to exposure to environmental pollutions, chemicals and natural or manmade ionizing radiation. In this project which has continued for more than 10 years and is unique in many technical aspects in Iran and in...
متن کاملThe State of the Chromosomes in the Intf~piiase Nucleus
The present knowledge of chromosomes is derived mainly from a study of cells in mitosis, where they are well defined individual structures. Much less is known about the chromosomes in the non-dividing nucleus where they appear to lose their characteristic structure and individuality. In the living resting nucleus there is usually nothing visible except nucleoU. After fixation, however, a great ...

متن کاملKaryotype analysis of chub, Squalius cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from Karasu River, Erzurum, Turkey
The karyotypic characteristics of chub, Squalius cephalus have been investigated by examining metaphase chromosomes spreads obtained from gill and kidney tissues. The fish used in the study were caught with fishing nets from Dumlu Stream, one of the main tributaries of the Karasu River. The live fish were transported to the laboratory, kept in a well aerated aquarium before analysis and then...
متن کاملChromatin freeze fracture electron microscopy: a comparative study of core particles, chromatin, metaphase chromosomes, and nuclei.
Chromatin gels, metaphase chromosomes, and intact nuclei were studied by freeze fracturing followed by electron microscopy. The results complement and extend those obtained by classical electron microscopy techniques as they are obtained without fixation or dehydration. The freeze fracturing technique permits a determination of the hydrated diameters of nucleosomes in chromatin and in nuclei to...
