In this study, we investigated the subcellular compartmentalization of arylsulfatase-A (AS-A) in the testis and epididymis as well as the surface distribution in rat epididymal sperm. Testicular AS-A was compartmentalized specifically to the area underneath the outer acrosomal membrane of the acrosomal granule and to the dorsal aspect of the sperm acrosome. Epididymal AS-A was synthesized in the e...... hiện toàn bộ
Immunohistochemical localization of a water channel, aquaporin 7 (AQP7), in the rat testisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 295 - Trang 279-285 - 1999
F. Suzuki-Toyota, K. Ishibashi, S. Yuasa
Cell volume reduction is one of the most distinct morphological changes during spermiogenesis and may be largely attributable to water efflux from the cell. A strong candidate for a water efflux route, aquaporin 7 (AQP7), which is a water channel, was studied immunohistochemically in the rat testis. Immunoreactivity was restricted within the elongated spermatids, testicular spermatozoa, and resid...... hiện toàn bộ
Phase-contrast microscopy of fresh and cultured pancreatic islet cells of guinea-pigsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 82 - Trang 110-117 - 1967
Arne Andersson, Claes Hellerström, Birger Petersson
Isolated cells were prepared from microdissected pancreatic islets of guinea-pigs. Phase-contrast microscopy of the fresh islet cells suspended in a balanced salt solution displayed a number of cellular details, including cytoplasmic secretion granules. There was morphologic evidence of the survival of islet cells in monolayer cultures for up to 3 weeks. A moderate proliferation of cells occurred ...... hiện toàn bộ
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP): a study of ANP and its mRNA in cardiocytes, and of plasma ANP levels in non-obese diabetic miceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 267 - Trang 267-272 - 1992

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels in cardiocytes and plasma were examined by using immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and radioimmunoassay in non-obese diabetic mice (NOD). Cardiocyte ANP mRNA expression was measured by the polymerase chain reaction method. ANP immunoreactivity in the auricular cardiocytes was more prominent in hyperglycemic mice (NOD-h) than in normoglycemic mice (N...... hiện toàn bộ
Neutrophil evasion strategies by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureusSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 371 - Trang 489-503 - 2017
Megan L. Lewis, Bas G. J. Surewaard
Humans are well equipped to defend themselves against bacteria. The innate immune system employs diverse mechanisms to recognize, control and initiate a response that can destroy millions of different microbes. Microbes that evade the sophisticated innate immune system are able to escape detection and could become pathogens. The pathogens Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus are part...... hiện toàn bộ
Rod-opsin immunoreaction in the pineal organ of the pigmented mouse does not indicate the presence of a functional photopigmentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 274 - Trang 71-78 - 1993
C. M. Kramm, W. J. de Grip, H. -W. Korf
The aim of the present study was to characterize the rod-opsin immunoreaction in the mammalian pineal organ. Pigmented mice (strain C57BL) were selected as the animal model. Immunocytochemical investigations involving the use of highly specific polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against bovine rod-opsin (the apoprotein of the photopigment rhodopsin) showed that approximately 25% of all pinealocy...... hiện toàn bộ
