Abstract:
Abstract A panel of commercially available monoclonal antibodies and five heteroantisera were used to distinguish and subtype 138 cases of acute leukemia (AL). The immunophenotype was compared with the French- American-British (FAB) classification obtained on the cases. The immunophenotype discriminated acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and recognized cases not distinguished by cytochemistry (22% of cases), mixed lineage phenotypes (13% of cases), and cases with separate populations of lymphoblasts and myeloblasts (one case). Using the immunologic panel and derived criteria to subtype AML, correspondence of the immunophenotype to the FAB subtypes M1, M2, M4, and M5 was possible in greater than 80% of cases. A combined classification of the immunophenotype and FAB morphology/cytochemistry was devised for AML subtyping. It is recommended that immunophenotyping should be done at least in all cases with negative orinconclusive cytochemistry. At present, we suggest that until a “gold standard” for identifying leukemic subtypes is developed, the best method for typing acute leukemia is by using a combination of morphology, cytochemistry and immunophenotyping.

Abstract:
This report describes the subcellular distribution of 5′-nucleotidase (5′-NT) in rat photoreceptor cells and pigment epithelial cells processed by rapid-freeze enzyme cytochemistry. There was a striking difference in the ultrastructural localization of 5′-NT activity between rod outer segments after freeze-substitution fixation and conventional fixation. By rapid-freezing enzyme cytochemistry, 5′-NT activity was localized in the extradiscal space of intact nonvacuolated discs, whereas by conventional cytochemistry it was shown in the intradiscal space of artifactual vacuolated discs. In the freeze-substituted retinal cells, an appreciable difference in functional 5′-NT molecules was also found. The soluble 5′-NT on the cytoplasmic side of the disc membrane was vital in the rod outer segments, whereas the membrane-bound ecto-5′-NT on the exoplasmic (external) surface of the apical process was active in the pigment epithelial cells. Rapid-freezing enzyme cytochemistry should be worth employing as a method to reveal the fine localization of enzyme activity at the level of cell ultrastructures, which are poorly preserved by conventional fixation, and should provide information approximate to that in living cells.

Abstract:
The lectins Ulex europaeus 1 (UEA 1), Ricinus communis 1 (RCA 1), Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA), and Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA) which are specific for L-fucose, D-galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and D-mannose respectively, have been used to localize cytochemically the presence of these sugar residues in certain human, mammalian, and amphibian cell types. Thin sections of Lowicryl K4M-embedded human distal colon, rat duodenum, and frog dorsal root ganglion were incubated with UEA 1-gold, RCA 1-gold, WGA/ovomucoid-gold, or LCA-gold. UEA-1, RCA-1, and LCA binding sites were present in the nuclei of human colonic cells, rat duodenal goblet and columnar cells and frog dorsal root ganglion neurons, satellite cells, and Schwann cells. Most of the nuclear binding sites were localized in the euchromatin compartment, while extranuclear labelling was largely restricted to sites known to contain glycoproteins. WGA binding sites were present in the nuclei of rat duodenum columnar cells and frog dorsal root ganglion neurons, satellite cells, and Schwann cells, but no labelling of human colonic cell nuclei was observed. Thus, we report the presence of these sugars in the nuceloplasm of human colonic cells (with the exception of WGA), rat duodenal villous columnar cells, and frog dorsal root ganglion cells examined.

Abstract:
The distribution of photosystem I (PS I) and photosystem II (PS II) in a primitive green alga Tetraselmis subcordiformis, which belongs to Prasinophyceae and does not have grana in its chloroplast, was studied by immunoelectron microscopy. Two PS I antibodies were used: one against a PS I component of maize, the other against the 60 and 62 KDa PS I reaction centre proteins of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus. Both antibodies showed that 76-78% of the labelling is on the appressed thylakoid membranes and only 22-24% is located on the unappressed membranes. Use of antiserum against cp-47 of PS II from S. elongatus also gives 76% of the labelling on appressed thylakoid membranes and 24% on unappressed thylakoid membranes. Cytochemical detection of PS I activity by the photooxidation of 3,3$ sp prime$-diaminobenzidine and of PS II activity by the photoreduction of distyryl nitroblue tetrazolium chloride also revealed that PS I and PS II activities exist on both types of thylakoid membranes. Therefore, our results indicate that the distribution of PS I and PS II in green algae may differ from that in higher plants.

Abstract:
The properties of tubulins from Brugia malayi, B. pahangi, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and rat brain were compared. Tubulins from all nematodes and rat brain were partially purified by polylysine agarose chromatography, those of brain also by cycles of assembly/disassembly, and all by taxol-induced assembly. The tubulins were compared with respect to concentration ($ mu$g tubulin/mg soluble protein), drugs binding and isoforms. The tubulins of B. malayi and B. pahangi were similar. However, the tubulin from these filariae were different from those of N. brasiliensis. Even larger differences were detected between the nematode tubulins and those of rat brain. However, all tubulins reacted to $ alpha$- and $ beta$-tubulin monoclonal antibodies, and had similar mobility on SDS-PAGE. Different peptide maps were obtained for N. brasiliensis tubulin compared with rat brain tubulin. Tubulins of N. brasiliensis bound more mebendazole than did those of Brugia nematodes (B$ sb{ rm max}$: pmoles/$ mu$g tubulin). The binding of benzimidazoles to nematode tubulins was much higher than to rat brain tubulin. Benzimidazole binding to brain tubulin was influenced by the degree of assembly of the tubulin. This did not appear to be the case for the nematode tubulins. In vitro translation of B. malayi mRNA resulted in two isoforms for both $ alpha$- and $ beta$-tubulins in contrast to the 4 $ alpha$- and 4-5 $ beta$-isoforms found naturally. This suggest post translational modification of tubulin may take place in B. malayi. This study has characterized some of the differences that exist between mammalian tubulins and those of nematodes on the one hand, and between the tubulins of a gastrointestinal nematode (N. brasiliensis) and those of filariae (B. malayi and B. pahangi) on the other hand.

Abstract:
Objectives: 1) Clarification of the mode of potentiation of an expressed insect selective neurotoxin (AaIT) by its recombinant baculovirus. 2) In vitro formation and/or modification of neuroactive polypeptides for the design of new improved recombinant baculoviruses. Results: 1) A combined utilization of bioassays, LM-cytochemistry, the highly resolutive EM immunogold and electrical recording from the CNS of baculovirus and AaIT - expressing – recombinant baculovirus infected larvae it has been shown that the recombinant virus potentiates the effect of the toxin. Potentiation is achieved through its continuous expression in the infected tracheal epithelia thus providing a: a) Local supply of freshly produced toxin in the vicinity of its traget sites; b) Translocation of the expressed toxin to the insect CNS. The latter exposes the recombinant toxin to new, critical, target sites which are inaccessible through the natural route of scorpion envenomation. 2) Subjecting a recombinant AaIT toxin to a newly designed system of random mutagenesis results in large numbers of new AaIT genes with amino acid substitutions. The new or modified toxin genes were inserted into a linear BmNPV expressed in silkworm cell culture and assayed on blowfly and silkworm larvae. Thus a system for mass formation and screening of neuroactive agents was developed. Contribution to agriculture: 1) Demonstration of the insecticidal mechanism, capacity and utility of the combination of neuroactive polypeptides and recombinant pathogens. 2) Development of a simple in vitro system for the formation and selection of new neuroactive polypeptides.
