    Notes: Abstract A series of congenic mice on the BALB/c genetic background have been employed to localize a teratocarcinoma transplantation rejection locus, Gt-1, to the K side of the H-2 locus on chromosome 17. Previous studies have placed the Gt-1 sv allele about 8 centimorgans away from the H-2 b or H-2 bv1 locus. Teratocarcinomas derived from 129/sv mice, Gt-1 sv (H-2K bv1/H-2D bv1), are rejected by BALB/c (H-2K d/H-2Dd) and BALB-G mice (H-2K d/H2D-b, but form tumors in BALB-B (H-2K b/H2D b) and BALB/5R5 mice (H-2K b/H2D d). In the reciprocal tumor-rejection test, a BALB/c teratocarcinoma was rejected by immunized BALB·B mice, but formed tumors in the immunized isogenic BALB/c mouse. These studies demonstrate the reciprocal expression of two Gt-1 alleles, one Gt-1 c, in BALB/c mice, and the other, Gt-1 sv, in the congenic BALB·B mice. Shedlovsky and co-workers have placed the Gt-1 locus in a similar location on the K side of the H-2 locus on chromosome 17.

    Notes: Abstract Embryoid bodies (ascites tumor) from a 129/Sv transplantable teratocarcinoma produce tumors (100%) in syngenic 129/Sv mice but fail to form tumors (3–6%) in BALB/c mice, C3H/He mice and C57BL/6 mice, in spite of the fact that the malignant stem cells of this tumor do not express detectable H-2 antigens. The available evidence indicates that this allogeneic tumor restriction has an immunological basis; 100% of the F1 hybrid mice between 129/Sv and the three other inbred mouse strains accept the 129/Sv teratocarcinoma. The backcross and F2 mice segregate the BALB/c, C3H/He and C57BL/6 tumor transplantation rejection loci in a manner that indicates that each of these inbred strains of mice contain one to two major transplantation rejection loci. A linkage analysis in the BALB/c and C3H/He backcross and F2 generations indicates that these mice have a teratocarcinoma transplantation rejection locus on chromosome 17, about eight to nine recombination units from theH- 2 complex. An F1 complementation analysis between allogeneic mice that each reject teratocarcinomas tumors (BALB/c × C57BL/6 and C3H/He × C57BL/6), indicates that the C57BL/6 mice have the 129/Sv tumor-accepting (sensitive) allele at theH-2-linked locus but reject teratocarcinomas because of antigenic differences at a second locus. While these major teratocarcinoma transplantation rejection loci determine the acceptance or rejection of a tumor by a mouse injected with high doses of tumor tissue (750 μg of tumor protein), evidence is presented for a number of minor genetic factors that can (1) affect the efficiency of tumor rejection and (2) cause complete tumor rejection at lower tumor doses (7.5–75 μg of tumor protein).

    Notes: Abstract  Cytotoxic T lymphocytes play a predominant role in allograft rejection. They mediate this process through recognition of foreign major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I surface molecules encoded at the H2 locus. Embryonal carcinoma cells, the undifferentiated, neoplastic derivatives of primordial germ cells, typically lack detectable MHC class I gene expression. Despite this, embryonal carcinoma cells are subject to allograft rejection in several different mouse strains. In many instances, the H2 locus appears to be genetically linked to resistance. However, rejection of allografts of the F9 embryonal carcinoma cell line, a nullipotent cell line derived from the 129 mouse strain, does not appear to be H2-linked. Resistance to F9 tumor formation in the C57BL/6 mouse strain has been attributed to a single, unidentified locus termed Gt(B6). To genetically map the Gt(B6) locus, a total of 463 (C57BL/6×129)F2 mice were challenged with F9 cells, and 78 tumor-resistant mice were identified. Markers encompassing two candidate regions, the H2 locus on Chromosome (Chr) 17 and a second candidate locus on Chr 2, showed no indication of linkage to the resistance phenotype. Instead, results of a genome wide scan implicated mouse Chr 8, and evidence is presented demonstrating that the Gt(B6) locus maps to a region of less than 10 cM on the medial portion of Chr 8.

    Notes: [Auszug] Extensive studies have shown that p53 is important in tumour prevention. However, little is known about its normal physiological function. Here we show that p53 is important in reproduction, in a gender-specific manner. Significant decreases in embryonic implantation, pregnancy rate and ...

    Notes: [Auszug] We report that the expression of murine or human mutant p53 proteins in cells with no endogenous p53 proteins confers new or additional phenotypes upon these cells. Mutant p53 proteins expressed in cell lines lacking p53 resulted in either enhanced tumorigenic potential in nude mice ((10)3 cells) ...

    Notes: When embryoid bodies are grown in suspension culture in vitro, they undergo only a limited amount of morphological development. When these same embryoid bodies are permitted to attach to the surface of a culture dish, a wide variety of new morphological cell types appear.Suspension cultures of embryoid bodies do not contain significant detectable levels of acetylcholine esterase or creatine phosphokinase. These same enzymes however are produced in cell cultures derived from embryoid bodies attached to the culture dish surface. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis has been employed to demonstrate that the electrophoretic form of creatine phosphokinase produced by teratoma cells in culture is the brain form of the enzyme.Solid transplantable tumors containing only embryonal carcinoma cells (stem cells) do not contain either of these enzymatic activities. Well differentiated transplantable teratomas contain both enzymes.

    Notes: Embryoid bodies are produced when a transplantable testicular teratoma from strain 129 mice is serially passaged in the peritoneal cavity of these mice. These bodies are roughly spherical containing two morphologically distinct cell types. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy have been employed to show that the endodermal cells of embryoid bodies, like those of the mouse embryo, are on the outer surface and have highly convoluted surfaces containing numerous microvilli-like projections. The inner, embryonal carcinoma cells, are the pluripotent stem cells of this tumor.Intracisternal A-type particles have been observed in electron micrographs and are almost exclusively located in the endodermal cells of the embryoid bodies. The A-type complement-fixing antigen has been identified in extracts prepared from this tumor.When embryoid bodies are placed in culture and allowed to attach to the surface of a petri dish, a large number of new morphologically distinct cell types appear. Attachment to the petri dish surface is required for the generation of these new cell types. Cells of similar morphology in culture, display a distinctly “clonal” distribution on the petri dish surface.
