Some Aspects of the Structural Organization of the Myofibril as Revealed by Antibody-staining Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
FROM OBSERVATIONS OF FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY STAINING AND ANTIBODY STAINING IN ELECTRON MICROSCOPY, EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED FOR THE FOLLOWING: (a) Direct contact of the actin and myosin filaments occurs at all stages of contraction. This results in inhibition of antibody staining of the H-meromyosin portion of the myosin molecule in the region of overlap of the thin and thick filaments. (b) Small structural changes occur in the thick filaments during contraction. This leads to exposure of antigenic sites of the L-meromyosin portion of the myosin molecule. The accessibility of these antigenic sites is dependent upon the sarcomere length. (c) The M line is composed of a protein which is weakly bound to the center of the thick filament and is not actin, myosin, or tropomyosin. (d) Tropomyosin as well as actin is present in the I band. (e) If actin or tropomyosin is present in the Z line, it is masked and unavailable for staining with antibody.

Objective(s) The main objective of this study was to investigate the status of chromosome stability in 3 human-mouse hybridoma cell lines over a period of time in various passages. Materials and Methods Metaphase spreads from 3 human-mouse cell lines (HF2X653, SPMO-4 and F3B6) that had been cultured in 4 successive passages, from 1 to 4 weeks, were prepared and analyzed. Metaphase chromosome...

Background: There are some methods for morphology staining of sperm. Although many different and also new methods are used in semen analysis, light microscopy is still used for routine morphological evaluation. The most used of the methods is Papanicolaou staining. This method is routinely used in Andrology laboratory for Human sperm morphology staining. In some domestic animals such as bull, R...

Background: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are essential tools for many molecular im-munology investigations, epitope mapping and molecular modelling, clinical laboratory di-agnostic tests and immunotherapy. Humoral immune response of immunized animals largely depends on the nature of antigen and the immunization technique. Polysaccharides and heavily-glycosylated proteins are very elusive target...
