    Notes: Abstract Lymphomyeloid organs of two common species of Antarctic fish, Trematomus nicolai and Chionodraco hamatus, were studied with the aim of analysing some morphological aspects of these organs in relation to adaptation to low environmental temperature. The thymuses of T. nicolai and C. hamatus were flattened, incompletely lobated, with numerous Hassall-like bodies, which were mainly located in the central part of the organ in C. hamatus. In T. nicolai, thymocytes, erythroid and reticular epithelial cells filled the organ. In C. hamatus, the thymocytes intermingled with reticular epithelial cells were often close to groups of melano-macrophages. In both species, the thymus did not show distinct compartmentalisation; however, the thymocytes had significantly different sizes in the outer and inner portions of the thymus. The head kidney of both species was completely filled by haematopoietic tissue, highly vascularised and mainly lymphopoietic in T. nicolai, while both erythropoietic and lymphopoietic in C. hamatus. The spleen appeared mainly erythropoietic in T. nicolai and mainly lymphopoietic in C. hamatus. Solitary melano-macrophages in T. nicolai were close to numerous small vascular ellipsoids where erythroid and lymphoid cells were intermingled without the formation of red and white pulp areas. In C. hamatus, large lymphoid areas were organised around the capillaries. The possible adaptation of lymphoid organs to the low temperature of polar water is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Lymphomyeloid organs of the Antarctic fish Trematomus bernacchii were studied with the aim of analysing some morphological aspects related to adaptation to low environmental temperature. The thymus of T. bernacchii was flattened, incompletely lobated and scarcely regionalised. It was filled by lymphoid elements intermingled with stromal elements. The head kidney appeared highly vascularised and mainly lymphopoietic. The spleen appeared mainly erythropoietic, with scarcely developed areas of white pulp.

    Spermatophore development and sperm ultrastructure in Craterostigmus tasmanianus (Chilopoda, Craterostigmomorpha) (1996)

    Notes: Abstract  Spermatophore development and ultrastructure of the mature sperm of Craterostigmus tasmanianus were studied using light and electron microscopy. In C. tasmanianus, as in the Scolopendromorpha, the spermatophore develops within the vas deferens. The latter consists of three parts, each with a different morphology. The first may be involved in guiding the sperm to roll up into typical ring-like structures, while the other two, which show an evident secretory activity, secrete the acellular wall of the spermatophores. The ultrastructure of mature spermatozoa showed that a very close similarity exists between Craterostigmomorpha and Lithobiomorpha, especially regarding the organization of the connecting piece. Based on this similarity, we consider the Craterostigmomorpha together with the Scolopendromorpha, Geophilomorpha and Lithobiomorpha (=Pleurostigmophora) to be the sister group of the Scutigeromorpha.

    Confocal scanning laser microscopy of the follicular epithelium in ovarioles of the stick insect Carausius morosus (1998)

    Notes: Abstract  Ovarian follicles of the stick insect Carausius morosus were analyzed by confocal laser microscopy and immunocytochemistry with a view to studying cell polarity in the follicular epithelium. Such probes as anti-α-tubulin antibodies and Rh-phalloidin were employed to establish how the follicle cell cytoskeleton changes during ovarian development. Data show that α-tubulin prevails over the basal end, while F-actin appears more abundant along the apical end of the follicle cells. This finding was further corroborated by immunogold cytochemistry, showing that label along the basal end is primarily associated with microtubules, while that along the apical end is due to follicle cell microvilli interdigitating with the oocyte plasma membrane. A monoclonal antibody specifically raised against a vitellin polypeptide was used to investigate the role the follicular epithelium might play in relation to vitellogenin (Vg) uptake by the oocyte. Data show that under these conditions label is restricted to the intercellular channels of the follicular epithelium, thus providing further support to the notion that Vg enters the oocyte through the extracellular pathway leading from the basement lamina to the oocyte surface. By contrast, the use of a monoclonal antibody raised against a fat-body-derived protein of 85 kDa that is specifically sulfated within the follicle cells provides evidence for the existence of an alternative way of gaining access to the oocyte surface, that is by transcytosis through the follicular cell epithelium. These findings confirm our earlier observations on stick insect ovarioles whereby polarization in the follicular epithelium is primarily addressed to sustain a transcytotic vesicular traffic between opposite poles of the follicle cell of Vg toward the oocyte surface.

    The follicle cell-oocyte interaction in ovarian follicles of the stick insect Bacillus rossius (Rossi): (Insecta: Phasmatodea) (1985)

    Notes: Developing ovarian follicles of Bacillus rossius have been examined ultrastructurally in an attempt to understand how inception of vitel-logenesis is controlled. Early vitellogenic follicles are characterized by a thick cuboidal epithelium that is highly interlocked with the oocyte plasma membrane. Gap junctional contacts are present both at the follicle cell/oocyte interface and in between adjacent follicle cells. In addition, microvilli of follicle cells protrude deeply into the cortical ooplasm of these early vitellogenic oocytes. With the onset of vitellogenesis, wide intercellular spaces appear in the follicle cell epithelium and at the follicle cell/oocyte interface. Gap junctions become progressively reduced both on the follicle cell surface and on the oocyte plasma membrane. Microvilli from the two cell types no longer interlock.From a theoretical standpoint each of the two structural differentiations present at the follicle cell/oocyte interface - gap junctions and follicle cell microvilli - could potentially trigger inception of vitellogenesis. Gap junctions might permit the passage of a regulatory molecule, transferring from follicle cells to oocyte, which would control the assembly of coated pits on the oocyte plasma membrane. Alternatively cell interaction via microvilli might induce the appearance of coated pits, thus creating a membrane focus for vitellogenin receptors. Both possibilities are discussed in relation to current literature.

    Notes: Fish eggs are surrounded by a resistant acellular coat commonly called the chorion or zona radiata. This study characterizes the eggshell proteinaceous content of unfertilized eggs of the sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax, with a view to the prepration of immunogens. Solubilization of the purified eggshells was achieved in 8 M urea followed by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Glycoproteins were detected using concanavalin-A in one and two-dimensional gels, and the principal glycoproteins had a molecular weight of 47 kDa and 170 kDa. Partial purification of a few polypeptides in the 45 kDa to 55 kDa range was achieved by gel filtration chromatography. Although whole eggshells were relatively insoluble even in 8 M urea, partial purification of these polypeptides enable them to dissolve completely in solutions at low ionic strength. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Oogenesis of the mayfly Habrophlebia eldae: Synthesis of vitelline and chorionic envelopes (1988)

    Notes: The ultrastructure of developing ovarian follicles inside the panoistic ovarioles of Habrophlebia eldae were examined to observe the events occurring during egg maturation up to the full formation of the chorionic envelopes. The early vitellogenic follicles are coupled by gap junctions and are extensively interlocked with the oocyte plasma membrane via microvilli. With the onset of vitellogenesis, coated pits and coated vesicles are precursors to yolk deposition and are visible at the follicle cell-oocyte interface. Postvitellogenic development entails the deposition of the egg envelopes. The vitelline envelope arises from the coalescence of rectangular plaques whose precursors are visible in Golgi complexes as heterogeneous electron-opaque granules. A chorionic pattern of ridges on the egg surface characterizes the shell of H. eldae. The fully developed chorion shows three distinct regions with differently organized patterns. A fine layer of fibrous material (a secretion of the follicle cells, Ephemeroptera devoid of accessory glands) adheres to the egg chorion and is probably involved in attachment to the substrate.
