Tuberculin from the human and from the bovine type of tubercle bacilli inhibits the growth of cells from explants of bone marrow, spleen and testes of tuberculous guinea pigs, and is toxic for these cells, but has no effect on explants of the same tissues from non-tuberculous animals. "Tuberculin" from other acid-fast bacteria has no inhibitory or toxic action on explants of tissues from either...

To investigate the role of circulating humoral substances in the pathogenesis of increased vascular wall water and sodium concentration in experimental hypertension, rabbit aortic media explants were cultured in tissue culture medium supplemented (10-20%) with serum obtained from the same dogs (n = 7): 1) before the induction of hypertension; 2) after wrapping one kidney in silk (two-kidney per...

many factors may influence the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis. this capability may be differ with regard to media compositions, genotype, tissue, organ ontology and the stage of differentiation. the effects of five salicylic acid concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mm) on different stages of carrot somatic embryogenesis were studied using petiole and root secondary phloem explants as sta...

In vitro culture establishment is one of the most important stages in micropropagation. The disinfectant effectiveness depends on type surface disinfectant, concentration and time treatment. this initial study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were used as a for petioles, flower stalks stems Begonia tuberous. addition, thin cell layer (TCL) technique has been applied purpose somatic embryogenesis. ...

Elias N, Rafii B, Rahman M, Otulakowski G, Cutz E, O’Brodovich H. The role of -, -, and -ENaC subunits in distal lung epithelial fluid absorption induced by pulmonary edema fluid. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 293: L537–L545, 2007. First published May 18, 2007; doi:10.1152/ajplung.00373.2006.—Edema fluid (EF) increases epithelial Na transport by rat fetal distal lung epithelia (FDLE) and i...

Effects of different concentrations of IAA (0, 0.3, 0.6 mg/l) and 2ip (0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 mg/l) and their combinations on callus induction and shoot regeneration of hypocotyl and its thin cell layer (TCL) explants in tomato was studied. Explants were prepared from hypocotyls of seedlings in the aseptic condition. Hypocotyl segments were more efficient than TCL explants for callus induction a...

In present report effects of explants type, basal media and plant growth regulators (PGRs) were tested for induction of indirect somatic embryogenesis in medicinally important plant Silybum marianum L. Leaf, petiole and root explants were exploited in vitro on B5 (Gamborg), SH (Schenk and Hildebrandt) and MS (Murashige and Skoog) media for induction of embryogenic callus followed by somatic emb...

A herpes-type virus was induced in explants of "summer-phase" Lucké tumor maintained on agar slants at 7.5 C for 13 to 14 weeks.

Tenascin-C (TNC) is a multidomain extracellular matrix protein that contributes to organogenesis and tumorgenesis. To elucidate its developmental function in the context of TNC deficiency, lung lobes of TNC null mice were obtained at Embryonic Days E11.5 and E12.5 and cultured for 3 d. In lung explants of homozygote TNC-deficient embryos (E12.5) the number of future airway branches was reduced ...

Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. (Liliaceae) is a critically endangered lily species native tonorthern Iran, where it is protected by law. In order to develop a cost effective method for largescalepropagation, the effects of three culture systems (solid, liquid and temporary immersion)and two types of cytokinins [6-Benzyladenine (BA) and Thidiazuron (TDZ)] were studied onthe in vitro plant rege...
