Transplantation of Spontaneously Occurring and Chemically Induced Lymphoid Tumors in Xenopus Laevis.

Further Aspects of Lymphosarcoma in Xenopus (the South African Clawed Toad).

sarcoma.s in Triturus cristatus, and the experiments result ing in the induction of lymphosarcoma in Xenopus laevi@ laevis (2) have a number of similarities. Methylchol anth.rene as carcinogen and urethan as anesthetic are common features of these experiments, but whereas spontaneous lymphoid tumors are known in Xenopus, none have yet been reported in Triturus (1). Thus, the role of urethan in ...

Expression of hsp90 Alpha and hsp90 Beta during Xenopus laevis Embryonic Development

Background: Members of the eukaryotic Hsp90 family function as important molecular chaperones in the assembly, folding and activation of cellular signaling in development. Two hsp90 genes, hsp90 alpha and hsp90 beta, have been identified in fish and homeothermic vertebrates but not in poikilothermic vertebrates. In the present study, the expression of hsp90 alpha and hsp90 beta genes in Xenopus...

Integrin Linked Kinase (X-ILK) Function during Embryonic Development and within Adult Tissues of Xenopus laevis

Integrin linked kinase (ILK) is a serine/threonine protein kinase implicated in the phosphatidylinositol 3’kinase (PI3’K) pathway. Integrin linked kinase has been investigated in different organisms such as mammalian systems (human, mice, rat), insects (Drosophila) and nematodes (Cenorhabditis elegans), however to date little data regarding ILK research on amphibians has been reported. In...
