SummaryThe effects of electrical charge and structural modifications of the ascites tumor cell surface on the uptake of several radiocompounds have been investigated. Changes in its electrical surface charge provoke variations in the radioactivity incorporation which appear to be selective for chelated or ionic radioisotopes. The release of a part of the cell “coat” by EDTA affects profoundly the incorporation of radioisotopes in a process which seems to be related to cell membrane permeability changes. The relationships between cell surface changes and radiocompounds accumulation are discussed.

Lectins (SBA and PSA) were used to provoke crowding and structural modifications of the presumptive ectoderm cell surface in order to investigate the role of the membrane organization of the competent target cells in neural induction. Are specific characteristics of the cell surface essential for this phenomenon to occur? From amphibian gastrulae, it is possible to obtain neural induction in vitro by association of presumptive ectoderm (target cells) with chordamesoderm (inductor tissue): 4 h of contact is sufficient in Pleurodeles waltl for transmission of the inductive signal. Very quickly, the treatment of the normal ectoderm by lectins (SBA-FITC or PSA-FITC) provoked surface modifications. Lectin-treatment (50 µg ml1−, 30 min) of presumptive ectoderm did not result in any neural induction. Lectin-treatment (50 µg ml1−, 30 min) of presumptive ectoderm previous to its association with the natural inductor for 4 h, disturbed the phenomenon: no induction. Similar treatment followed by association with the inductor for 24 h: induction. Treatment of SBA or PSA with their respective hapten inhibitors prior to addition to ectodermal cells completely blocked the suppressive effects on induction. The structural integrity of the membrane of competent target cells is necessary for neural induction to occur. The cell membrane could thus play, directly or indirectly, an active role in the specificity of this process

Abstract Biochemical and ultrastructural examinations on the pellicle of autotrophically grown Eu­glena gracilis were carried out after three days under potassium and magnesium deficiency. Cell-surface changes were detected by lectin assay. Compared to cells grown in complete medium, deficient cells become larger in shape, accompanied by rising carbohydrate, chloro­phyll and protein content, bind more and other lectin molecules: an increase of mainly galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine receptors was observed. Investigations with the mucilage stains alcian blue and ruthenium red indicated that mucilaginous material is released under deficient conditions, whereas the control cells show a strong precipitate of these stains well inside the cells beneath the pellicle.
