Plasma urokinase levels were determined using the chromogenic substrate L-Pyroglutamyl-glycyl-L-arginine-p-nitroanalide (KABI S2444) on plasma samples collected before, during and after Infusions of tissue culture or urinary source urokinase (J, Lab. Clin. Med. 92:721, 1978). Each patient received a 2,000 IU/lb loading dose followed by an hourly rate of 2,000 IU/lb for 12 hours. There was no correlation between plasma urokinase level and critical concentration of drug or body weight and no difference in the effects of each preparation on laboratory reflections of a lytic state, such as the whole blood euglobulln lysis time, plasminogen or fibrinogen concentration. However, the chromogenic assay of urokinase activity showed that the urinary source material achieved a significantly higher plasma blood level at two hours and disappeared more rapidly after termination of the infusion than was observed with the tissue culture material. Although both urokinase infusions achieved plasma levels in excess of that required to produce a fibrinogenolytic state, it is likely that a significantly lower concentration is sufficient to produce a lytic state and that a larger dose of tissue culture material would be required to achieve this critical plasma urokinase level.

Представлены результаты оценки сортов картофеля в базовой полевой коллекции, поддерживаемой в чистых фитосанитарных условиях и отбора базовых клонов для введения в культуру in vitro. Предложены новые методические подходы проведения оценки растений-регенерантов в культуре in vitro в период прохождения основных фаз роста, развития и формирования морфологических структур. Показано, что введение в культуру ткани биоматериала, прошедшего оценку по основным сортоотличительным признакам в базовой полевой коллекции позволяет минимизировать возможные риски проявлений модификаций сортовых признаков и обеспечить сохранение фенотипической идентичности (тождественности) сортов картофеля при последующем тиражированию исходного материала для оригинального семеноводства.The article presents the results of evaluation of potato varieties in the field collection located in the clean climatic zone and selection of plants for introduction into the culture in vitro. Recommended new methodological approaches of evaluation of microplants in phases of growth and development in vitro. It is shown that the introduction of biomaterial into the tissue culture, evaluated for varietal identity in the field, eliminates the risks of modifications and ensures the preservation of the phenotypic identity of potato varieties with the subsequent replication of the source material for basic seed production.

The morphologic pathologist may require information on the ultrastructure of a non-specific lesion seen under the light microscope before he can make a specific determination. Such lesions, when caused by infectious disease agents, may be sparsely distributed in any organ system. Tissue culture systems, too, may only have widely dispersed foci suitable for ultrastructural study. In these situations, when only a few, small foci in large tissue areas are useful for electron microscopy, it is advantageous to employ a methodology which rapidly selects a single tissue focus that is expected to yield beneficial ultrastructural data from amongst the surrounding tissue. This is in essence what "LIFTING" accomplishes. We have developed LIFTING to a high degree of accuracy and repeatability utilizing the Microlift (Fig 1), and have successfully applied it to tissue culture monolayers, histologic paraffin sections, and tissue blocks with large surface areas that had been initially fixed for either light or electron microscopy.

Murine Leukemia

Despite extensive studies, the correlation between the morphology and pathogenicity of murine leukemia viruses (MLV) has not yet been clarified. The virus particles found in the plasma of leukemic mice belong to 2 distinct groups, 1 or 2% of them being enveloped A particles and the vast majority being of type C. It is generally believed that these 2 types of particles represent different phases in the development of the same virus. Particles of type A have been thought to be an earlier form of type C particles. One of the tissue culture lines established from Friend leukemia solid tumors has provided the material for the present study. The supernatant fluid of the line designated C-1A contains an almost pure population of A particles as illustrated in Figure 1. The ratio is, therefore, the reverse of what is unvariably observed in the plasma of leukemic mice where C particles predominate.

During a study of the development of infectious laryngotracheitis (LT) virus in tissue culture cells, unusual tubular formations were found in the cytoplasm of a small proportion of the affected cells. It is the purpose of this report to describe the morphologic characteristics of the tubules and to discuss their possible association with the development of virus.The source and maintenance of the strain of LT virus have been described. Prior to this study, the virus was passed several times in chicken embryo kidney (CEK) tissue culture cells.

The extract from Penicillum stoliniferum, known as statolon, has been purified by density gradient centrifugation. These centrifuge fractions contained virus particles that are an interferon inducer in mice or in tissue culture. Highly purified preparations of these particles are difficult to enumerate by electron microscopy because of aggregation. Therefore a study of staining methods was undertaken.

The usual method of scraping or trypsinization to detach tissue culture cell sheets from their glass substrate for further pelletization and processing for electron microscopy introduces objectionable morphological alterations. It is also impossible under these conditions to study a particular area or individual cell which have been preselected by light microscopy in the living state.Several schemes which obviate centrifugation and allow the embedding of nondetached tissue culture cells have been proposed. However, they all preserve only a small part of the cell sheet and make use of inverted gelatin capsules which are in this case difficult to handle.We have evolved and used over a period of several years a technique which allows the embedding of a complete cell sheet growing at the inner surface of a tissue culture roller tube. Observation of the same cell by light microscopy in the living and embedded states followed by electron microscopy is performed conveniently.

The techniques for detecting viruses are many and varied including FAT, ELISA, SPIRA, RPHA, SRH, TIA, ID, IEOP, GC (1); CF, CIE (2); Tzanck (3); EM, IEM (4); and molecular identification (5). This paper will deal with viral diagnosis by electron microscopy and will be organized from the point of view of the electron microscopist who is asked to look for an unknown agent--a consideration of the specimen and possible agents rather than from a virologist's view of comparing all the different viruses. The first step is to ascertain the specimen source and select the method of preparation, e. g. negative stain or embedment, and whether the sample should be precleared by centrifugation, concentrated, or inoculated into tissue culture. Also, knowing the type of specimen and patient symptoms will lend suggestions of possible agents and eliminate some viruses, e. g. Rotavirus will not be seen in brain, nor Rabies in stool, but preconceived notions should not prejudice the observer into missing an unlikely pathogen.

Tumor Types

The application of tissue culture and the newer methodologies of direct cloning and colony formation of human tumor cells in soft agar hold promise as valuable modalities for a variety of diagnostic studies, which include morphological distinction between tumor types by electron microscopy (EM). We present here two cases in which cells in culture expressed distinct morphological features not apparent in the original biopsy specimen. Evaluation of the original biopsies by light and electron microscopy indicated both neoplasms to be undifferentiated sarcomas. Colonies of cells propagated in soft agar displayed features of rhabdomyoblasts in one case, and cultured cells of the second biopsy expressed features of Ewing's sarcoma.
