A carcinofetal antigen located on the membrane of cells from rat intestinal carcinoma in culture.

Heteroantisera were produced in rabbits by immunization with cultivated cells from rat intestinal carcinomas. The sera were made specific by in vivo absorption in syngeneic rats. On immunofluorescence, these sera recognized a membrane-associated antigen common to five different intestinal carcinomas and to fetal intestine. The antigen was not detected in noncancerous adult intestine, nonintestinal fetal tissues, or three nonintestinal tumor cell lines.

[Calcium and magnesium concentrations of the renal cortex in the rat. Comparison of 3 methods of tissular extraction of the principal cations].

We describe three methods for extraction of main tissular cations : a) dry ashing method; b) wet ashing method with HNO3; c) wet method on fresh tissue with HCIO4. This study allows the determination of tissular concentrations of calcium, magnesium in renal cortex of the Rat. Our findings show : a loss of Na, K cations probably by volatilization with dry ashing method ; inability for K determination when HCIO4 method is used ; tissular concentrations are : 4,7 mEq Ca ; 21,6 mEq Mg per kg of wet tissue (wet ashing method with HNO3) ; recovery percentage for magnesium is above 100 % (as previously shown by other authors) ; the dry ashing method is less suitable for extraction than the two other methods ; both wet methods lead to similar results and to a recovery percentage near 100 %.
