Characterization and comparative immunoreactivity of antibody to newt (T. cristatus) globins.

چکیده
Rabbit antisera to newt (T. cristatus) globin were produced by repeated injections of globin and antiglobin antibodies purified by chromatography on globin-Sepharose 4B. Ouchterlony and SDS PAGE analysis indicated that the material eluted from the affinity column was rabbit IgG. The antiglobin antibodies tested by immunodiffusion and ELISA cross-reacted with native hemoglobin and globin from T. cristatus and to varying extents with globins of N. viridescens, R. pipiens and X. laevis, but not with human globin. The degree of cross-reactivity appeared to parallel the evolutionary relatedness of these species, suggesting common antigenic determinants among globins of various vertebrate species.

Comparison of active and passive sampling methods for detecting and monitoring the smooth newt (Lissotriton vulgaris) and the endangered northern crested newt (Triturus cristatus)
Amphibian populations are declining at an alarming pace in many parts of the world due to both global and local factors (Blaustein and Wake, 1995; Stuart et al., 2004; Beebee and Griffiths, 2005). Northern crested newt (Triturus cristatus) populations are declining in many European countries (Edgar and Bird, 2006; Denoël, 2012), while smooth newts (Lissotriton vulgaris) are still widespread and...
متن کاملKicking Triturus arntzeni when it's down: large-scale nuclear genetic data confirm that newts from the type locality are genetically admixed.
We collected nuclear DNA data (52 markers) with next-generation sequencing for nine Triturus newt specimens, including the holotype and two of the paratypes of T. arntzeni, from the type locality at Vrtovać in eastern Serbia. We compare these data to a reference set composed of the four crested newt species distributed in eastern Serbia namely T. cristatus, T. dobrogicus, T. ivanbureschi and T....
متن کاملThe application of eDNA for monitoring of the Great Crested Newt in the UK
Current ecological surveys for great crested newts are time-consuming and expensive and can only be carried out within a short survey window. Additional survey methods which would facilitate the detection of rare or protected species such as the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) would be extremely advantageous. Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has been utilized for the detection of great...
متن کاملA Phenotypic Point of View of the Adaptive Radiation of Crested Newts (Triturus cristatus Superspecies, Caudata, Amphibia)
The divergence in phenotype and habitat preference within the crested newt Triturus cristatus superspecies, examined across different ontogenetic stages, provides an excellent setting to explore the pattern of adaptive radiation. The crested newts form a well-supported monophyletic clade for which at least the full mitochondrial DNA phylogeny is resolved. Here we summarise studies that explored...
متن کاملThe form of bivalent chromosomes in newt oocytes at first metaphase of meiosis
Lampbrush chromosomes in the ovarian oocytes of newts are associated as bivalents. Some connexions between lampbrush chromosomes are chiasmata; others are known to be fusions of gene products; yet others, namely reflected, centromere, and telomere fusions, do not appear to be due simply to the fusion of gene products. Whether chiasmata are involved in reflected, centromere, and telomere fusions...
