    Notes: Summary The embryonic distribution of atriopeptin (atrial natriuretic factor) in the Sprague-Dawley rat heart was mapped by immunoperoxidase staining of embryonic and neonatal hearts using rabbit antiserum to atriopeptigen purified from adult rat atrium. During the period of cardiac septation (days 14 and 16), immune serum reacted strongly with myocardial cytoplasmic granules in two sites: the inner cell layer along the cephalic curvature of the atria and the trabeculae of the incompletely divided ventricles. The youngest hearts studied (gestational day 11) displayed only nonspecific diffuse peroxidase reactivity within blood cells, indistinguishable from control sections incubated with normal rabbit serum. One week following birth, intense antiatriopeptin reactivity was widely distributed through both atria. In addition, immunoreactive cytoplasmic granules were found at several sites in the ventricular myocardium. Along the fiber tracts of the concentric layers of the ventricahar walls and interventricular septum, scattered granular foci were seen between nuclei of contiguous elongated myocytes. Positive staining was also seen within the papillary muscles and trabeculae carnae, regions shown by Alcian blue/periodic acid-Schiff base staining of sister sections to be relatively rich in glycogen. These patterns of antibody reactivity suggest the coupling of early atriopeptin secretory activity with developing cardiac function.

    Notes: Summary An antibody to the 96 kD α-subunit of the Na+, K+ -ATPase from Bufo marinus has been used in immunostaining rat kidney and salivary glands. Intense staining was observed on basolateral membranes of distal tubules of the kidney and striated ducts of the three major salivary glands. Less intense staining was seen on the basolateral membranes of parotid acinar cells, but no staining was seen on the acinar cells of submandibular or sublingual glands. These sites of staining have been shown, by other methods, to posses substantial Na+, K+ -ATPase, indicating that the antibody recognizes antigenic determinants of the sodium pump highly conserved in the course of evolution. In addition, staining with this antibody was observed at the apical region of cells of the proximal straight tubule and of the papillary collecting duct in the kidney. Absorption studies suggest that the apical antigenic determinants are the same or closely related to each other but are distinct from basolateral antigenic determinants.

    Notes: Abstract Intracellular protein distribution and sorting were examined in rat parotid striated duct cells, in which tissue kallikrein is apical, and Na,K-ATPase is basolateral. Electron-microscopic immunogold cytochemistry, with both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, demonstrated these enzymes at opposite poles of the cells and in distinct intracellular sites. Kallikrein was found within apical secretory granules, whereas Na,K-ATPase was present on basolateral cell membranes. In addition, kallikrein was localized throughout cisternae of all Golgi profiles, whereas Na,K-ATPase (α-subunit) was found only in small peripheral vesicles and/or lateral cisternal extensions of a basal subset of Golgi profiles. These differences in the subcellular distribution of the two marker antigens were most clearly seen with double immunogold labelling. Our results suggest that kallikrein, an apical, regulated secretory protein, and Na,K-ATPase, a basolateral, constitutively transported membrane protein, are segregated at (or prior to) the level of the Golgi apparatus rather than in the trans-Golgi network (TGN), as was expected.

    Notes: Summary Cytochemical methods for the localization of glycoconjugates including concanavalin A-horseradish peroxidase (ConA-HRP) and dialysed iron were used to study the distribution of glycoconjugates in mast cell granules during degranulation. The ConA-HRP method revealed intense staining of discharged mast cell granules. Dialysed iron staining was seen at the granule periphery, with extruded granules exhibiting more intense staining than undischarged granules.

    Notes: Synposis The granules of parotid acinar cells and submandibular granular tubule cells of rats contain one or more periodic acid-Schiff positive substances that are extracted during fixation with lipid solvents or acidic solutions or if frozen sections are stained in aqueous solutions. The granules in these cells can be stained by Schmorl's reaction, Luxol Fast Blue and a permanganate-Aldehyde Fuchsin sequence. The results obtained with these stains after a variety of fixation procedures strongly suggest that the secretory granules of these two cell types contain several components and that in parotid acinar and submandibular granular tubule cells, at least one of these components is a lipoidal substance.

    Notes: Synopsis The distribution of complex carbohydrates has been investigated at the light and electron microscope levels in sweat glands of normal subjects and patients with Hurler's or Hunter's disease. Normal sweat glands examined with a battery of light microscopic histochemical methods revealed sulphated complex carbohydrate in secretory granules of the dark cells. These granules lacked affinity for dialysed iron (DI) at the light and electron microscope levels. The DI method demonstrated acid complex carbohydrates ultrastructurally on the surface of the intercellular canaliculi and central lumen in normal sweat glands. DI-reactive acidic material, presumably of mucopolysaccharide nature, surrounded and extended between collagen bundles in the stroma of normal skin, but was absent from the band which ensheathed the sweat gland and consisted of individual rather than bundled collagen fibrils. DI-reactive mucopolysaccharide lined and partially filled vacuoles of dark cells showing a laminar distribution in vacuoles of clear cells in sweat glands of a Hunter patient. The DI method also visualized mucopolysaccharide distributed throughout vacuoles in fibroblasts of this patient. DI-reactive acid material covered the luminal surface of the sweat gland, coated collagen bundles in the stroma and spared the periglandular collagenous sheath in skin from Hurler and Hunter patients as in that from normal controls. Acid phosphatase was localized ultrastructurally in vacuoles and nearby cytoplasm and on plasmalemmae of clear cells, dark cells and myoepithelial cells of sweat glands from Hurler and Hunter patients. Vacuoles of dermal fibroblasts and Schwann cells in these specimens also exhibited strong acid phosphatase activity.

    Notes: Summary The influence of fixation on the immunocytochemical localization of tissue kallikrein in the kidney has been evaluated using both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. These studies have provided several results relevant to kallikrein localization in kidney: (1) the intensity and distribution of immunostaining with both polyclonal and monoclonal anti-kallikrein antibodies is fixation-dependent; (2) the most intense and consistent localizations of kallikrein are in the connecting tubule and the cortical collecting duct of the nephron; (3) kallikrein-like immunoreactivity is seen in proximal tubules with polyclonal but not with non-cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies; and (4) fixatives which disrupt membranes reveal a kallikrein-like antigen in straight tubules of the outer medulla. However, immunostaining with monoclonal antibodies indicates that much of the observed immunostaining at this site probably represents cross-reactivity with another member of the kallikrein family of enzymes.

    Notes: Summary The submandibular glands of female mice and the sublingual and parotid glands of adult male and female mice have been examined by light microscopical immunocytochemistry for nerve growth factor (NGF). In female submandibular glands, staining for NGF was observed in granular convoluted tubule and striated duct cells. Sublingual glands of the mouse contained relatively few granular cells staining for NGF compared with submandibular glands. However, such granular cells appeared to be more numerous in male sublingual glands than in female glands. The remainder of the intralobular duct cells in both male and female sublingual glands exhibited apical subluminal staining for NGF as well as light basal plasmalemmal staining. Parotid glands in both male and female mice exhibited a similar pattern of staining for NGF in striated duct cells. However, the glands did not contain granular cells nor did they exhibit any pattern of staining which reflected a sexual dimorphism. Immunodot staining of salivary gland extracts confirmed the presence of immunoreactivity for NGF in all three of the major salivary glands.

    Notes: Synopsis A series of studies was performed to assess the optimum fixation conditions for staining of carbohydrate-containing constituents of rat salivary gland secretory granules. In the parotid and submandibular salivary glands of the rat, the reactivity of secretory granules, at both the light and electron microscopic level, with routine stains and with cytochemical reagents was highly dependent upon the nature of the fixative employed. At the light microscopic level, secretory granules in rat parotid gland were periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) positive if fixed with buffered formalin fixatives. However, if the gland was fixed with lipid-solvent-containing fixatives, or with formalin at a very acid pH (as in Bouin's fixative), the PAS reactivity of the granules was lost. In the submandibular gland of rats, the acinar cells and granular tubules behaved similarly after such fixation in terms of their PAS reactivity, particularly in males; acinar cells of the female submandibular gland stained only lightly with PAS. At the fine structural level, the morphology of secretory granule constituents depended on the buffer used (cacodylate, phosphate or collidine) and on whether or not tissue was post-osmicated. Post-osmication considerably reduced the reaction of secretory granule components with stains for carbohydrates. The experimental evidence indicated that the carbohydrate-containing components of both parotid and submandibular gland secretory granules were not typical long-chain neutral or acidic mucins, but were rather glycolipids or lipophilic glycoproteins that were solubilized by lipid solvents or at acidic pH and were lost or destroyed in the presence of strong oxidants.

    Notes: The use of potassium pyroantimonate-osmium tetroxide as a combined fixative and cation-capture agent has permitted the observation of finestructural changes in cation distribution in rat parotid acinar cells following administration of isoproterenol (IPR). During the secretory phase of the response, there is a diminution of antimonate-precipitable cation in the cytoplasm combined with an increase along the plasma membrane and on secretory channels. At four hours after IPR, cytoplasmic precipitates return but deposits disappear along the membrane. Membrane deposits return slowly at later times after the stimulus. Decreased antimonate-precipitable cation was observed in nuclear heterochromatin between 4 and 20 hours after IPR. This may be related to the induction of cell replication by the drug. During the DNA synthetic phase of the response to IPR, an unusual patchy osmiophobia was observed in nuclei. Mitotic chromosomes contained heavy antimonate deposits. Some of the early changes in cation distribution observed after isoproterenol administration mimicked changes seen in damaged cells.
