    Notes: Summary The presence of the CRF-containing neurons in the hypothalamus was investigated in four different species (cats, dogs, pigs, and monkeys) by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique using specific anti-serum to CRF. In all animals examined, CRF-containing perikarya were found mainly in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei, and a small number of the immunoreactive cells were observed in the accessory supraoptic nucleus and the lateral hypothalamic area. The size of the CRF-containing perikarya ranged from 20–35 μm in diameter. These findings suggest that the magnocellular paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei are the center not only of the classical neurosecretory system for the production of the posterior lobe hormones, but also that of the CRF neuronal system.

    Notes: Summary In order to characterize immunoglobulins found on amyloid deposits of lichen amyloidosus and macular amyloidosis, an elution from cryostat sections was performed with citrate buffer, glycine buffer, NaCl, and PBS. Resulting eluates (mainly IgG) were examined with dot immunoblotting and SDS-PAGE immunoblotting and were found to react with the human epidermal keratin of 50 and 67 kD. Antikeratin autoantibody activities in normal murine and human sera were examined using a dot immunoblotting assay. In murine sera, titers of IgG and IgM autoantibodies were higher in older mice. The human cord blood showed significantly lower IgM autoantibody titers, whereas IgG antibody titers showed no significant differences from adults' sera, probably due to the permeability of IgG through the placental barrier. A stronger antibody activity in older individuals was thought to be due to the repeated exposures to keratin proteins derived from apoptotic keratinocytes. Sera from lichen amyloidosus and macular amyloidosis patients did not show any difference from normal controls in their antikeratin titers. It was concluded that the patients with lichenoid or macular amyloidosis are capable of producing a normal level of antikeratin autoantibodies. However, the removal of opsonized keratin-type amyloid from the skin is slow or deficient due to as yet unknown factors.

    Notes: Summary A specific rabbit anti-CRF serum and the immunoperoxidase technique were used to show that CRF-containing neurons are mainly distributed in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the rat hypothalamus. In addition, immunoreactive neurons are scattered in other hypothalamic regions. These neurons are 20–30 μm in diameter. From the present and previous investigations it may be concluded that the hypothalamic magnocellular nuclei, i.e., paraventricular and supraoptic, and other hypothalamic accessory nuclei, are the producing sites not only for vasopressin and oxytocin, but also for corticotropin-releasing factor.
