The eukaryotic flagellum is constructed from 11 parallel tubular elements arranged as 9 peripheral fibers (doublet microtubules) and 2 central fibers (singlet microtubules). The primary motion generating component has been found to be arranged as axially periodic “arms” bridging the adjacent doublets. The dynein, comprising the arms, has been isolated and characterized from several different cilia and flagella. Various radial and azimuthal cross-links stabilize the axially aligned microtubules, and probably play some role in controlling the form of the flagella beat cycle.

The proposed primary mechanism of action of the anticancer drug cisplatin (Cis-DDP) is through its interaction with DNA, mostly through DNA intrastrand cross-links or DNA interstrand cross-links. DNA repair mechanisms can circumvent this arrest thus permitting replication and transcription to proceed. Various membrane transport enzymes have also been demonstrated to be effected by cisplatin. Glycoprotein alkaline phosphatase was looked at in the proximal tubule cells before and after cisplatin both in vivo and in vitro for its inactivation or its removal from the membrane using light and electron microscopy.Outbred male Swiss Webster (Crl: (WI) BR) rats weighing 150-250g were given ip injections of cisplatin (7mg/kg). Animals were killed on day 3 and day 5. Thick slices (20-50.um) of kidney tissue from treated and untreated animals were fixed in 1% buffered glutaraldehyde and 1% formaldehyde (0.05 M cacodylate buffer, pH 7.3) for 30 min at 4°C. Alkaline phosphatase activity and carbohydrates were demonstrated according to methods described earlier.
