| the morphology of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) by negative staining. | we have examined preparations of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (hiv-1) and hiv-2 by negative staining electron microscopy. hiv-2 cultures contained large numbers of 130-200 nm particles containing a 130-nm-long by 30-70 nm-wide core. this core is probably of conical or pear-shaped morphology. some particles exhibited a short fringe that could be seen to comprise a regular arrangement of repeating subunits when visualised end on. identical particles were found in hiv-1 cultures but in much lower ... | 1988 | 3171554 |
| localization of the rat immunoglobulin lambda light chain locus to chromosome 11. | previous experiments using rat/mouse somatic cell hybrids have localized the rat c-myc gene to chromosome 7 (sümegi et al. 1983), the rat immunoglobulin kappa locus to chromosome 4 (perlmann et al. 1985), and the rat immunoglobulin heavy chain locus to chromosome 6 (pear et al. 1986). using a similar approach, we now report the localization of the rat immunoglobulin lambda light chain locus to chromosome 11. | 1988 | 3137157 |
| 6;7 chromosomal translocation in spontaneously arising rat immunocytomas: evidence for c-myc breakpoint clustering and correlation between isotypic expression and the c-myc target. | our previous studies have shown that spontaneously arising immunocytomas in the lou/ws1 strain of rats contain a t(6;7) chromosomal translocation in all seven tumors studied (f. m. babonits, j. spira, g. klein, and h. bazin, int. j. cancer 29:431-437, 1982). we have also shown that the c-myc is located on chromosome 7 (j. sümegi, j. spira, h. bazin, j. szpirer, g. levan, and g. klein, nature (london) 306:497-499, 1983) and the immunoglobulin h cluster on chromosome 6 (w.s. pear, g. wahlström, j. ... | 1988 | 3122026 |
| purification and characterization of the inducible a agglutinin of saccharomyces cerevisiae. | a cell surface glycoprotein induced by the mating pheromone alpha factor in saccharomyces cerevisiae a cells has been purified to homogeneity. at 4 x 10(-9) m it strongly inhibits mating-type-specific agglutination between a and alpha cells. the protein is solely o-glycosylated. it consists of 29% carbohydrate and its apparent molecular mass is 22 kd on sds gels. after hf treatment it behaves like a protein of 13 kd; therefore its true molecular mass probably is close to 18 kd. mild periodate tr ... | 1988 | 3044782 |
| ultrasonic imaging of equine ovarian follicles and corpora lutea. | one of the most profound theriogenology applications of transrectal diagnostic ultrasonography in mares involves the imaging of ovarian follicles and corpora lutea. the resolving capabilities (frequency) and quality of the scanner directly affect the minimal size of a structure that can be imaged and the quality of the image. high-frequency scanners (5 or 7.5 mhz) of good quality can image a 2-mm follicle and the corpus luteum throughout its functional life. a low-frequency scanner (3 or 3.5 mhz ... | 1988 | 3044535 |
| freeze-fracture replica studies of effects of acth treatment and hypophysectomy on the cell surface of the rat adrenal inner cortex. | the morphological change of the cell surface in the inner zone of the adrenal cortex was studied in intact, hypophysectomized, and acth-treated hypophysectomized rats, using freeze-fracture replicas. in both intact and hypophysectomized acth-treated animals, the p fracture face of the plasma membranes of the cortical cells facing capillaries shows groups of characteristic finger-shaped microvilli, which arise horizontally from the edges of a small cavity on the cell surface to form various confi ... | 1987 | 3031917 |
| occurrence of lipofuscin pigment granules and "dense microspheres" in the spinal cord of young cats treated with beta,beta'-iminodipropionitrile (idpn). | spinal cords of cats treated with the neurotoxic compound beta,beta'-iminodipropionitrile (idpn) were observed to contain rounded homogeneous bodies, 1-12 microns in diameter, termed "dense microspheres" (dms). these bodies, absent in control animals, were consistently found only in the ventral horns. no relationship with blood vessels was evident. when stained with pas and a modified von kossa's silver nitrate technique, dms remained negative, showing only very slight metachromasia in some tolu ... | 1988 | 2980224 |
| three-dimensional reconstruction of negatively stained crystals of the ca2+-atpase from muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. | the structure of the ca2+ transport atpase from rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum has been determined to 25 a resolution by three-dimensional image reconstruction of crystalline membrane tubules induced through exposure to na3vo4 and preserved for electron microscopy in negative stain. the crystalline arrays have projection symmetry p2 and consist of chains of ca2+-atpase dimers arranged in a right-handed helix. the density map shows protein features that project from the membrane su ... | 1986 | 2939255 |
| crystallization of the ca2+-atpase of sarcoplasmic reticulum by calcium and lanthanide ions. | two-dimensional crystalline arrays of ca2+-atpase molecules develop in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles exposed to ca2+ or lanthanide ions. the ca2+- or lanthanide-induced crystals are presumed to represent the e1 conformation of the ca2+-atpase, and their crystal form is clearly different from the earlier described e2 crystals induced by na3vo4 in the presence of ethylene glycol bis(beta aminoethyl ether)-n,n,n',n'-tetraacetic acid (taylor, k. a., dux, l., and martonosi, a. (1984) j. mol. biol. ... | 1985 | 2931429 |
| ultrastructural biology of leishmania (viannia) panamensis (=leishmania braziliensis panamensis) in lutzomyia gomezi (diptera: psychodidae): a natural host-parasite association. | the development of leishmania (viannia) panamensis in a natural sand fly host, lutzomyia gomezi, was studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. new aspects of peripylarian parasite behavior and morphology in the sand fly gut, early bloodmeal stages, and ultrastructural development in the anterior gut were documented. eight distinct morphological forms were observed in the life cycle of the parasite within the insect. in the bloodmeal, amastigotes (1) transformed into stumpy promastig ... | 1989 | 2916730 |
| tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry fails to demonstrate dopaminergic interplexiform cells in the turtle retina. | a number of catecholaminergic, presumably dopaminergic, cells could be observed in the turtle retina, because of their tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity. they were amacrine cells with a pear-shaped soma and dendrites distributed in 3 sublayers within the inner plexiform layer. neither sclerally directed th-positive processes nor terminals in the outer plexiform layer were observed, suggesting that dopaminergic interplexiform cells do not exist in the turtle retina. | 1985 | 2862955 |
| chronic disease in goats orally infected with two isolates of the caprine arthritis-encephalitis lentivirus. | newborn saanen goats were orally infected with two distinct biologically cloned isolates of the caprine arthritis-encephalitis lentivirus (caev), designated caev(63) (crawford tb, adams ds, cheevers wp, cork lc: science 207:997, 1980) and caev (co) (cork lc, hadlow wj, crawford tb, gorham jr, piper rc: j infect dis 129:134, 1974; narayan o, clements je, strandberg jd, cork lc, griffin de: j gen virol 50:69, 1980). all infected goats seroconverted for antibodies to caev, and there were no serolog ... | 1988 | 2835548 |
| ultrastructural development of leishmania chagasi in its vector, lutzomyia longipalpis (diptera: psychodidae). | the development of leishmania chagasi, etiologic agent of american visceral leishmaniasis, was studied by light and electron microscopy in the gut of the sand fly, lutzomyia longipalpis, a natural vector. new aspects of suprapylarian leishmania behavior were elucidated. in the sand fly midgut, amastigotes transformed into promastigotes (division promastigote i) during a first division sequence within the bloodmeal. secondary division of these promastigotes resulted in a second form (division pro ... | 1989 | 2802019 |
| monospermy and polyspermy after partial zona dissection of reinseminated human oocytes. | partial zona dissection (pzd), a zona drilling method that uses mechanical force to open the zona pellucida while the oocyte is shrunken in a sucrose solution, was applied to 121 unfertilized 1-day-old mature human oocytes prior to reinsemination. the 115 surviving oocytes were divided into three groups in which the duration between sucrose addition and reinsemination was varied: i) less than 20 minutes, ii) 21 to 45 minutes, and iii) longer than 45 minutes. there was a trend toward a reduced fe ... | 1989 | 2777173 |

| how does the toad's visual system discriminate different worm-like stimuli? | behavioral experiments show that toads exhibit stimulus- and locus-specific habituation. different worm-like stimuli that toads can discriminate at a certain visual location form a dishabituation hierarchy. what is the neural mechanism which underlies these behaviors? this paper proposes that the toad discriminates visual objects based on temporal responses, and that discrimination is reflected in different average neuronal firing rates at some higher visual center, hypothetically anterior thala ... | 1991 | 2004136 |
| a novel endocrine cell type in the guinea-pig gastric mucosa: cellular source of pro-enkephalin-derived peptides. a histochemical, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopical characterization. | a novel endocrine cell type has been identified in the guinea-pig gastric mucosa which preferentially occurs in the oxyntic area. cells of this type exhibit immunoreactivities for bovine adrenal medulla dodecapeptide (bam-12p) and in many cases for met-enkephalin and are thus presumed to contain a pro-enkephalin-like precursor protein. systematic immunohistochemical investigations show that these cells do not contain immunoreactivities for various enteric hormones, neuropeptides and biogenic ami ... | 1990 | 1972145 |
| immunohistochemical localization of glutamine synthetase in mesencephalon and telencephalon of the lizard gallotia galloti during ontogeny. | the immunohistochemical localization of glutamine synthetase, an astrocyte marker in mammals, was determined in the telencephalon and mesencephalon of the lizard gallotia galloti during development by using an antiserum raised against chicken brain glutamine synthetase. ependymal glial cells and their radial processes were glutamine synthetase immunoreactive, and they were present also in the adult. immunoreactivity was also detected in two populations of scattered cell bodies, each preferential ... | 1990 | 1970551 |
