Pigment Area

Retinal detachment results from a number of causes and has received attention since 1904 when Gonin postulated the entry of vitreous fluid into the pigment area after a hole occurred in the retina. A symposium on retinal detachment held in 1952 summarized the current information and concluded that breaks in the retina are the most essential factor in the production of detachments and listed three main causes for such breaks: l) localized atrophying processes; 2) localized vitreous pull and 3) trauma. Recent work in our laboratory with tissue culture cells and animals exposed to 100% oxygen has suggested another mechanism.Mouse fibroblast L-929 and Don Chinese Hamster tissue culture cells were exposed for 3, 6 and 12 hours to 100% oxygen at one atmosphere while the rats and rabbits were exposed to the same conditions for 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours. The tissue culture cells were fixed in situ to reduce any mechanical damage and the animals were fixed by perfusion to prevent any movement of the retina before fixation. Conventional methods of dehydration, embedding and sectioning were used.

During a study of the development of infectious laryngotracheitis (LT) virus in tissue culture cells, unusual tubular formations were found in the cytoplasm of a small proportion of the affected cells. It is the purpose of this report to describe the morphologic characteristics of the tubules and to discuss their possible association with the development of virus.The source and maintenance of the strain of LT virus have been described. Prior to this study, the virus was passed several times in chicken embryo kidney (CEK) tissue culture cells.

To study the role of sulfhydryl group formation during cell cycle progression, mammalian tissue culture cells (PTK2) were exposed to 100¼M 2-mercaptoethanol for 2 to 6 h during their exponential phase of growth. The effects of 2-mercaptoethanol on centrosomes, chromosomes, microtubules, membranes and intermediate filaments were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by immunofluorescence microscopy (IFM) methods using a human autoimmune antibody directed against centrosomes (SPJ), and a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against tubulin (E7). Chromosomes were affected most by this treatment: premature chromosome condensation was detected in interphase nuclei, and the structure in mitotic chromosomes was altered compared to control cells. This would support previous findings in dividing sea urchin cells in which chromosomes are arrested at metaphase while the centrosome splitting cycle continues. It might also support findings that certairt-sulfhydryl-blocking agents block cyclin destruction. The organization of the microtubule network was scattered probably due to a looser organization of centrosomal material at the interphase centers and at the mitotic poles.

Galactose Content

The presence of UDP-D-glucose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2) in the culture tissue of white poplar was evidenced. As found, the partially purified enzyme preparation contained UDP-D-glucose glucosyltransferase, UDP-D-galactose galactosyltransferase and non-specific enzymes able to cleave the uridine-diphosphate saccharides into the appropriate hexose monophosphates. The activity change of UDP-D-glucose 4-epimerase in tissue culture cells during the growth was in accord with changes in D-galactose content in cell walls and indicated the possibility to regulate the formation of polysaccharides containing D-galactose at the level of production of UDP-D-galactose in cells.
