    Notes: Abstract  Intracellular pH (pHi) was measured in enzymically isolated, neonatal rat carotid body type-1 cells, using the fluorophore carboxy-SNARF-1 (AM-loaded), and using the nigericin technique for in situ fluorescence calibration (nigericin is a membrane-soluble K+-H+ exchanger). In CO2/HCO3 –-free media, inhibiting Na+-H+ exchange produced a prompt fall of pHi (background acid-loading), the rate of which was reduced by raising the extracellular K+ concentration, [K+]o. pHi recovery from an intracellular acid or alkali load was also sensitive to changes of [K+]o. These results are similar to those of Wilding et al. (J Gen Physiol 100:593–608, 1992), who proposed the existence of an acid-loading, K+-H+ exchanger (KHE) in the type-1 cell. However, when nigericin was not used for post-experimental calibration, and the superfusion system was flushed exhaustively with strong detergent, alcohol and distilled water, then background acid-loading was attenuated, and the K+ o sensitivity of pHi insignificant. Background loading was increased again, and K+ o sensitivity restored, when cells were monitored in a superfusion system which had previously been exposed to a single nigericin-calibration protocol (followed by a short system wash with strong detergent and distilled water). We conclude that the previously reported expression of KHE in carotid body type-1 cells is an artefact caused by nigericin contamination. We have therefore quantified the pHi dependence of background loading in uncontaminated type-1 cells. We consider the possible implications of our work for reports of KHE in other cell types.

    Application of a new pH-sensitive fluoroprobe (carboxy-SNARF-1) for intracellular pH measurement in small, isolated cells (1990)

    Notes: Abstract We report the use of a new pH-sensitive dualemission fluoroprobe, carboxy-seminaphthorhodafluor-1 (carboxy-SNARF-1) for ratiometric recording of intracellular pH (pHi) in small isolated cells. The method is illustrated with pHi measurement in single type-1 cells (cell diameter ∼10 μm) isolated from the carotid body of the neonatal rat. Carboxy-SNARF-1 is loaded using bath application of the acetoxymethyl ester. When excited at 540 nm, the fluoroprobe gives strong, inversely related emission signals at 590 nm and 640 nm. Stable ratiometric recordings of pHi can be achieved from a single cell (pHi 8.5-6.5) for up to 50 min. Photobleaching of the probe is minimised by illuminating at relatively low light intensity (50 W xenon lamp with 0.2% transmission neutral density filter). The probe can be calibrated in situ using the nigericin technique and this is in good quantitative agreement with the independent null-point technique (extracellular weak acid/weak base application) of Eisner et al. (1989). This fluoroprobe offers certain advantages over the other commonly used probe for pHi 2′,7′-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5(and -6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF): (i) because of its two strong pH-sensitive peak emissions, SNARF displays a good signal-to-noise ratio for ratiometric recording at low light intensities; (ii) unlike BCECF, the dual emisson of SNARF requires no sequential mechanical switching of excitation filters, thus simplifying the epifluorescence set-up; (iii) because carboxy-SNARF-1 emission signals are at the yellow/red end of the visible spectrum, fluorescent drugs like amiloride, ethyl-isopropyl-amibride (EIPA), 4,4′-diisothiocyanostilbene 2,2′-disulphonic acid (DIDS) and cinnamate analogues do not interfere with the pHi recording, even when used at high concentrations.

    Effects of acidic stimuli on intracellular calcium in isolated type I cells of the neonatal rat carotid body (1993)

    Notes: Abstract We have investigated the effects of acidic stimuli upon [Ca2+]i in isolated carotid body type I cells from the neonatal rat using indo-1 (AM-loaded). Under normocapnic, non-hypoxic conditions (23 mM HCO3 −, 5% CO2 in air, pHo=7.4), the mean [Ca2+]i for single cells was 102±5.0 nM (SEM, n=55) with 58% of cells showing sporadic [Ca2+]i fluctuations. A hypercapnic acidosis (increase in CO2 to 10%–20% at constant HCO3 −, pHo 7.15–6.85), an isohydric hypercapnia (increase in CO2 to 10% at constant pHo=7.4) and an isocapnic acidosis (pHo=7.0, constant CO2) all increased [Ca2+]i in single cells and cell clusters. The averaged [Ca2+]i response to both hypercapnic acidosis and isohydric hypercapnia displayed a rapid rise followed by a secondary decline. The averaged [Ca2+]i response to isocapnic acidosis displayed a slower rise and little secondary decline. The rise of [Ca2+]i in response to all the above stimuli can be attributed to no single factor other than to a fall of pHi. The hypercapnia-induced rise of [Ca2+]i was almost completely abolished in Ca2+-free solution, suggesting a role for Ca2+ influx in triggering and/or sustaining the [Ca2+]i response. These results are consistent with a role for type I cell [Ca2+]i in mediating pH/PCO2 chemoreception.

    Notes: Summary 1. An antiserum to cholinergic synaptic vesicles fromTorpedo marmorata which recognizes the heparan-like glycosaminoglycan present in these vesicles and reacts specifically with peripheral and presumed central cholinergic nerve terminals in mammalian species has been tested with retinas from a variety of species. 2. The antiserum recognizes specific sites in the inner and outer plexiform layers of retinas of rat, ox and frog. 3. The distribution is similar to that reported forα-bungarotoxin, a reagent specific for acetylcholine receptors. 4. Immunoreactive material was absent from retinal cell bodies. 5. Its appearance in development in the two layers coincided with the appearance of synapses in these layers. 6. We conclude that the antigenic sites responding to the anti-vesicle anti-serum are associated with the cholinergic endings in the retina.

    Notes: The relationship between spread height and upstream reservoir thickness, with power low coefficient as parameter, was obtained analytically. At all values of n studied, the value of r (ratio of spread height to nip width) increases with increasing values of H/ho where H is upstream reservoir thickness and ho is nip width. At higher values of H/ho, the curves of r, versus H/ho tend to “flatten” out, and r approaches an asymptotic value. For example, the asymptotic value of r for Newtonian fluids (power law constant of 1) is 1.226. Asymptotic values of r increase with decreasing values of the power law constant.

    Notes: Summary Most of the published light-microscopic methods for the localization of cholinergic nerve pathways present various difficulties of interpretation. The production and characterization of an antiserum that binds specifically to cholinergic terminals is described. The antiserum was raised to small synaptosomes prepared from the purely cholinergic electric organ of Torpedo marmorata. It was shown to lyse cholinergic synaptosomes in a mixed population derived from guinea-pig cortex. After partial purification by adsorption onto nonspecific antigens, it was used to label nerve endings in several tissues of Torpedo, rats and guinea pigs using indirect immunofluorescence histochemistry. The antiserum appears to provide a highly specific means of localizing cholinergic nerve endings in these tissues.
