The effects of dibutyryl cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (BcAMP) and Sephadex G-25 fractions of chick embryo extract on the growth rate, morphology, and pigmentation of normal chick retinal pigmented epithelium (PE) were investigated. Seven cloned PE cell lines were each grown in modified Ham's F-12 medium alone (F-12), or in F-12 supplemented with either high molecular weight (H) or low molecular weight (L) fractions of chick embryo extract. Cells grown in F-12 alone or in L medium formed compact epithelial sheets, whereas cells grown in H had a fibrocytic appearance and formed poorly organized monolayers. In H plus BcAMP, cell morphology was more epithelioid than in H alone, and generally the monolayers appeared more differentiated. Under each of these three culture conditions, 2 x 10-4 M BCAMP retarded the increase in cell number and decreased the final number of cells per culture dish, but had little effect on plating efficiency. BcAMP also increased the rate of cell adhesion to a plastic substratum. Pigmentation was marked in cultures grown in F-12 or in L alone, but the addition of BcAMP dramatically reduced visible pigmentation. This effect was reversed when BcAMP was removed from the culture medium. Thus BcAMP modifies cell and colonial morphology, rate of cell accumulation, adhesive properties, and pigmentation of normal PE cells.

A relatively simple and reliable in vitro method for marine fish chromosome study was developed. The addition of 10% chick embryo extract to serum-supplemented Eagle's minimum essential medium with high concentration of NaCl resulted in marked growth of kidney cells in the marine conger eel (Astroconger myriaster) after activation by phytohemagglutinin (PHA). Culture medium without chick embryo extract or PHA and/or with normal concentration of NaCl did not induce substantial growth. In contrast to reports by others, humidified culture was not required for excellent cell growth of these teleost kidney cells. Numerous metaphases unmarred by overlapping chromosomes were recovered and excellent karyograms were available for detailed karyotype analysis. Key words: kidney, culture, marine fish, chromosome

1. Chick embryo extract given intravenously did not favorably influence the course of experimental tuberculosis in rabbits, although it did cause lymphocytosis and lymphoid hyperplasia. 2. The tuberculous animals treated with chick embryo extract showed lower values for hemoglobin and red blood cells than tuberculous controls inoculated from the same suspension. 3. Under the conditions of these experiments an increase in the number of young, immature cells in the lymph nodes was accompanied by more extensive tuberculous lesions in the lymph nodes and especially in the germinal centers of the nodes. A possible analogy to lymphatic tuberculosis in children is suggested. 4. The observations of previous investigators on the progression and later regression of lesions in experimental tuberculosis have been confirmed. The distribution, character, and extent of lesions have been studied and are presented in tabular form. 5. The presence and significance of tuberculous thrombi in the lungs are discussed.
