Disc Electrophoresis of Extracts from the Taste Buds Located in Circumvallate Papillae of Rat Tongues
نویسنده
چکیده
The epithelium of the circumvallate papillae of rat tongues was stripped off by treatment with 0.005% elastase in a state when many taste buds were present. The taste buds were isolated from the stripped epithelium by further treatment with 0.005% elastase and 0.08% trypsin. A protein which was thought to be characteristic of taste buds was found from semimicro disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic studies of the stripped epithelia with and without taste buds. This result was supported by micro disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic studies of isolated taste buds.

Alterations in size, number, and morphology of gustatory papillae and taste buds in BDNF null mutant mice demonstrate neural dependence of developing taste organs.
Sensory ganglia that innervate taste buds and gustatory papillae (geniculate and petrosal) are reduced in volume by about 40% in mice with a targeted deletion of the gene for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In contrast, the trigeminal ganglion, which innervates papillae but not taste buds on the anterior tongue, is reduced by only about 18%. These specific alterations in ganglia that ...
متن کاملTaste bud density in circumvallate and fungiform papillae of the bovine tongue.
Taste bud quantitation may provide useful parameters for interspecies comparisons of the gustatory system. The present study is a morphometric analysis of bovine taste papillae. Circumvallate and fungiform papillae from six bovine tongues were serially sectioned and, following staining, analyzed. Circumvallate papillae were found to have a mean volume of 3.66 +/- 2.82 mm3, a mean number of tast...
متن کاملThe Effects of β-Bungarotoxin on the Morphogenesis of Taste Papillae and Taste Buds in the Mouse
Although it has been long accepted that innervation by a taste nerve is essential for maintenance of taste buds, it is not clear what role, if any, innervation plays in the morphogenesis of taste papillae and taste bud development. The following study was undertaken to determine what effects lack of sensory innervation have on the development of taste papillae and the formation of taste buds in...
متن کاملAge does not affect numbers of taste buds and papillae in adult rhesus monkeys.
Taste buds and papillae in tongues of rhesus monkeys were examined and counted to determine if there are age-related differences in general morphology or numbers of receptor organs. Tongues from 15 monkeys in five groups aged 4-31 years were studied with light microscopy. Fungiform, circumvallate, and foliate papillae were examined and taste buds in each papilla type were counted. Numbers of pa...
متن کاملOn the specification of taste neurons in the rat tongue.
It is known in mammals that regenerating taste fibers will reform, innervate and maintain new taste buds in characteristic tongue locations--the taste papillae. The ability of non-taste sensory and motor nerve fibers (auriculo-temporal, mylohyoid and hypoglossal nerves) to substitute for a taste (IXth) nerve was evaluated by whole nerve recording and anatomical examination of experimentally inn...
