A new method to prepare sections from amphibian embryos for immunohistology.
نویسنده
چکیده
The method involves impregnation of fixed embryos with a solution of plexiglass. The solvent is evaporated slowly. Blocks of plexiglass containing the specimen are thus formed. Sections (1-2 microns) are stretched and attached by an unconvential method. Immunohistological techniques allow antigen localization in a combination of high resolution, excellent quality of the sections and low background.

Identification of glycogen in thin sections of amphibian embryos.
Embryonic amphibian cells when examined with the electron microscope were observed to contain an abundance of small particles, approximately 325 A in diameter. The periodic acid/ Schiff reaction and enzymic digestion were employed to determine the nature of the particles, and from the results of these tests they were concluded to be glycogen. Treatment of thin sections with periodic acid/lead c...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy: A New Approach to Remove Embryos of the Wistar Rat
Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising new cancer treatment strategy which inactivates tumor cells by simultaneoulsy using light and a photosensitizer. The similarity between tumors and newly implanted embryos is notable. Extrauterine pregnancy (EUP) does not have a definite treatment and previous therapeutic options (medical and surgical) have not been effective or suitable. Ther...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of mammalian genes using amphibian embryonic cells.
We describe a method that contributes to the analysis of the functions of mammalian genes by the use of amphibian embryos and electron microscopy. Following forced expression of specific mammalian genes in amphibian embryos, we attempted to deduce the function of each gene from the ultrastructural changes in cell organelles caused by its overexpression. This method has been applied to the analy...
متن کاملA note on the effects of some cytotoxic substances on amphibian embryos.
I N connexion with the experiments of Jurand (1958) on the action of TEM on avian embryos, it seems worthwhile describing very shortly some observations on the effects of this substance, and also of Myleran, on early amphibian embryos. Bodenstein (1954 and earlier) has described some of the cytological results of the administration of various 'radio-mimetic' substances to amphibian embryos, inc...
متن کاملEstradiol uptake, toxicity, metabolism, and adverse effects on cadmium-treated amphibian embryos.
The exposure of Bufo arenarum embryos to 25 micromol/L 17beta-estradiol (E2) resulted in 100% lethality within 48 hr, whereas 10 micromol//L E2 was the no observed effect concentration value for short-term chronic (7 days) exposure. The toxicity profile curves show that lethal effects were proportional to the E2 concentration and the time of exposure. The E2 uptake resulted in 20.1 ng E2/mg emb...
