Recovery of antigenically reactive HIV-2 cores

Negative staining studies of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been hampered by the fragile nature of the particles. Although detergent treatment is capable of releasing cores from HIV-2 particles, these are unstable and do not retain morphological integrity. Addition of glutaraldehyde will stabilise these structures but, if used at too high a concentration, will destroy their antigenicity. This study shows that if both detergent and glutaraldehyde are used in correct proportions, antigenically reactive cores can be recovered from HIV-2 cell cultures. More specifically we show that a mixture of 0.1% Nonidet P40 and 0.1% glutaraldehyde produces preparations of HIV-2 cores that are suitable for immune electron microscopy. These cores reacted positively, that is, formed immune complexes, with both human HIV-2 antisera and a mouse monoclonal antibody that, although directed against p24 (HIV-1), reacts also with p25 (HIV-2).     

Plasmacytoid Monocytes in Epithelioid Cell Granulomas: Ultrastructural and Immunoelectron Microscopic Study

Plasmacytoid monocytes, the so-called plasmacytoid T cells, were originally described in rare cases of lymphadenitis. Recent immunohistochemical studies have demonstrated their monocytic origin. Plasmacytoid monocytes have in common with epithelioid cells and multinucleated giant cells the expression of several antigens; they also occur in close topographic association with epithelioid and multinucleated giant cells in epithelioid cell granulomas. On the basis of these data it has been suggested that plasmacytoid monocytes may transform into epithelioid cells. The present ultrastructural and immunoelectron microscopic study of epithelioid cell granulomas provides furthei arguments in favor of this hypothesis. Moreover, the existence of a transitional cell type with characteristics of plasmacytoid monocytes and epithelioid cells is documented. Subplasmalemmal linear densities present on focal areas of the plasma membrane of the main cell components of granulomas are also discussed.

Associated expression of HLA class I and class II antigens on melanoma cells in surgically removed metastases

Malignant transformation of melanocytes and further neoplastic progression may be associated with qualitative and/or quantitative changes in expression of HLA class I and class II antigens. Since previous immunohistochemical studies of surgically removed melanoma lesions have suggested a relationship in the expression of HLA class I and class II antigens, we have investigated the expression of these antigens at the single cell level. Double immunofluorescence staining of frozen sections of melanoma metastases and immunoelectron microscopic double labelling of melanoma cell suspensions prepared from three of these lesions has detected three HLA phenotypes on the large majority of melanoma cells: either both HLA class I and class II antigens, neither HLA antigen or only HLA class I antigens. In four out of the 11 lesions a few melanoma cells were found to express HLA class II antigens and to lack HLA class I antigens. A relationship was also found in the level of expression of HLA class I and class II antigens, as estimated by the intensity of staining with monoclonal antibodies. The level of expression of HLA class II antigens appeared to be similar to or lower than that of HLA class I antigens on the large majority of melanoma cells. This coordinated heterogeneity in the expression of HLA class I and class II antigens by melanoma cells may have implications in the interactions of tumour cells with the host's immune system.     

大鼠孤束核内降钙素基因相关肽能神经的分布及其与儿茶酚胺能神经元的关系

用双重免疫染色包埋前免疫电镜法，在光镜和电镜水平观察了大鼠孤束核内降钙素基因相关肽神经元的分布及其神经末梢与儿茶酚胺能神经元之间的关系。降钙素基因相关肽阳性神经元呈棕色，主要分布于孤束核的连合亚核、内侧亚核以及背侧周边区。在孤束核的尾侧部、连合亚核的腹外侧部及背侧周边区观察到蓝绿色的酪氨酸羟化酶阳性神经元和棕色的降钙素基因相关肽阳性神经元和神经纤维，其中一些神经元内两者共存。电镜观察结果：酪氨酸羟化酶阳性神经元细胞质内有棒状或卵圆形的电子密度较高的吲哚-β-半乳糖苷酶反应产物，降钙素基因相关肽阳性神经末梢内见到电子密度较高的DAB反应产物以及清亮小泡和颗粒小泡。降钙素基因相关肽阳性神经末梢和酪氨酸羟化酶阳性神经元之间形成对称性轴一体突触。     

Immunoperoxidase-immunogold double labelling in immunoelectronmicroscopy of large granular lymphocytes

A method for better characterization of mononuclear cell subpopulations using detection of 2 surface antigens simultaneously in electron microscopy was developed with immunoperoxidase-immunogold double labelling. Monoclonal antibodies of IgG and IgM classes were used in the first step, and colloidal gold-labelled anti-mouse IgG antibody and peroxidase-labelled anti-mouse IgM antibody (mu chain-specific) in the second step. Immunoelectronmicroscopy with such double labelling improves ultrastructural analysis of mononuclear cell subpopulations.
