Stimulation Of

A protein (Mr = 63,000) from calf serum that promotes the pigmentation of cultured chick neural crest and mouse melanoma cells has been partially isolated and characterized in this study. The stimulation of melanin synthesis in cultured cells was used to follow its activity during purification. The pigment-promoting factor was isolated by sequential column chromatography on dye-agarose matrices followed by hydroxyapatite and high pressure molecular sieve chromatography. The factor was found to stimulate melanin biosynthesis at 2-4 micrograms/ml and was specific for melanin-producing cells and their precursors. Antibodies raised in rabbits against the factor inhibited its pigment-promoting activity as well as that of whole calf serum. Enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assays demonstrated that calf and bovine sera contain molecules that cross-react with the pigment-promoting factor. Horse, human, rat, and chicken sera, which lack the biological activity, also lacked immunological cross-reactivity. Extracts of certain tissues, particularly the submaxillary gland, were observed to be rich sources of pigment-promoting activity.

Baby Hamster Kidney Cells

An aliquot from a continuous fermenter culture of baby hamster kidney cells (BHK-21 Clone PD-4) (Wistar) maintained in Ca free Eagle's Basal Medium containing 2% Kaolin adsorbed fetal calf serum was planted in spinner flasks at 300,000 cells per ml, total volume 600 ml. After equilibration for one day at 35°C to insure that cells were in log phase, the culture was infected with the M-33-AGMK25 BHK-219 strain of rubella at an input multiplicity of about 6 TCID50 per cell. The virus was identified with specific rubella antiserum.Preliminary experiments had shown that such cultures would reach a peak or plateau HA titer of approximately 1:64, 24 hrs after inoculation and would continue to yield virus for 6 to 12 days. One hundred ml aliquot harvests were withdrawn daily and the culture was returned to volume with growth medium and incubation continued. The harvested cells were spun down rapidly at 2500 rpm per 15 mins., fixed in 3.7% gluteraldehyde in Ca free phosphate buffer saline, and post fixed in osmium tetraoxide. After dehydration, the cells were embedded in Epon 812 and cured approximately 20 hrs at 60°C.

In the present study, the ultrastructural changes of BPK cells, a fibroblast-like cell line, derived from the kidney of juvenile black porgy Acanthopagrus schlegeli, under heat shock treatment are described.The BPK cells were maintained in L-15 medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and 0.15 M NaCl at 28|C2. The heating was carried out in precalibrated water baths. Monolayers of cells, grown on coverslips in parafilm-sealed petri dishes were submerged under water for 30 min at 40|C treatments. Cells were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer supplemented with 6.6% sucrose, postfixed in 1% OsO4 and flat embedded in Spurr’s resin. Silver section were cut parallel to the substratum, stained with uranyl acetate and Reynold’s lead citrate, and examined in a Hitachi H-600 electron microscope at 75 KV.
