    Notes: Ia specificities 22 and 23 were found to be determinants on hybrid Ia molecules, formed by the noncovalent binding of a 26,000-28,000 dalton beta polypeptide chain (Ae) coded by the I-A subregion and a 32,000-35,000 dalton alpha chain (Eα) coded by the I-E subregion. For expression of Ia. 23 the Ae chain, coded by the I-A subregion, must be derived from the H-2d haplotype, while Ab, As, or Ak can provide the complementing beta chain for the expression of Ia. 22. For expression of Ia. 22 and Ia. 23, most Ia. 7 positive strains can provide the complementing alpha chain (Eα), with the one exception of B 10. PL (Eu), which is Ia. 7 positive but will not complement with Ad to express Ia. 23. Antisera were also produced against hybrid Ia antigens by immunizing with F1 cells expressing Ia. 22 or Ia. 23 generated by transcomplementation. These antisera detect the same specificities as conventional anti-Ia. 22 and anti-Ia. 23 sera produced against cis-complementing Ia antigens. It is postulated that hybrid Ia determinants are involved in recognition and generation of immune response to antigens under dual Ir gene control. It is also suggested that there are 2 types of Ia specificities: (1) allotypic Ia specificities expressed on the alpha or beta chains (for example, Ia. 7 on the Eα chain) and (2) hybrid Ia specificities, which are unique interaction determinants formed by the association of alpha and beta chains (for example, Ia. 22 and Ia. 23). These interaction gene products may be involved in antigen recognition and presentation.

    Notes: The role of hematopoietic microenvironments in the regulation of maturation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells, although heavily debated, remains uncertain. Several investigators have suggested that the adherent “stromal” cell populations, which grow as colonies in cultures of lymphomyeloid tissues, include the cells involved in such regulatory processes. Grossly, the colonies described by several investigators appear similar morphologically, and the cells giving rise to them have been variously termed (1) fibroblast colony forming cells (FCFC), (2) plaque forming units-culture (PFU-C), (3) macrophage colonies, and (4) marrow stromal cells. FCFC have been reported to re-establish their parent microenvironment when transplanted in an allogeneic system. In this study, cloned and enriched cell populations obtained from such colonies in cultures of murine lymphomyeloid tissues have been characterized by their growth in culture and using morphological, histochemical, and electron microscopic techniques. The results demonstrated that, although the initial stromal colonies appeared to be identical, the constituent cell types varied considerably. Some colonies were comprised primarily of macrophages, while others appeared to contain predominantly fibroblasts; two additional cell types that established colonies have not yet been satisfactorily identified. These results demonstrate the heterogeneity of lymphomyeloid stromal colonies. There is a need for caution in the analysis of experiments in which uncharacterized stromal cell colonies are transplanted or employed as supporting monolayers in culture systems in experiments designed to evaluate the origins and functions of lymphohematopoietic stroma.

    Notes: Brattleboro rats exhibit diabetes insipidus (DI) because of a genetic autosomal recessive defect in the synthesis of vasopressin; oxytocin is synthesized normally. Preliminary work suggests that elevated circulating oxytocin levels may compensate for the absence of vasopressin. To evaluate the consequences of presumed elevations of oxytocin levels, oxytocin binding and tissue responsiveness have been measured in the uterus and epididymal fat cells of homozygous-DI (HoDI) and heterozygous-DI (HeDI) animals and Sprague-Dawley and Long-Evans controls. Surprisingly, whereas membranes from HoDI rat uteri exhibited an 85% reduction in oxytocin binding, the biological response (contraction) to oxytocin was indistinguishable from the uteri of HeDI or Sprague-Dawley animals. The uterine response to carbachol was also normal in HoDI rats. In contrast, in adipocytes from HoDI animals, the biological response to oxytocin (glucose oxidation) was abolished, whereas the binding of oxytocin was normal; insulin-stimulated glucose oxidation was, however, normal. These results indicate that receptor binding, while critical to hormone action, is not the sole determining factor. With oxytocin action, postreceptor mechanisms are most important in determining oxytocin responsiveness.
