[A simplified method for determination of biochemical marker genes in inbred strains of mice (author's transl)].

A rapid method is described for the determination of biochemical variants of mice by Titan III cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Variants examined were hemoglobin beta-chain, serum esterase-1, malic enzyme (supernatant form), and isocitrate dehydrogenase (supernatant form). The present procedure can be recommended as a simplified method to analyze biochemical variants for checking of marker genes in inbred strains of mice.

Ultrastructural studies on the secretory cycle of the neurosecretory cells and the formation of Herring bodies in the paraventricular nucleus of the rat.

The ultrastructure of the neurosecretory cells in the paraventricular nucleus of the normal male rat was studied by electron microscopy during various functional states. Four morphologically distinct types of neurosecretory cells were observed. It appears that they do not represent different classes of cells but different phases of secretory activity of a single cell type. The perikarya of the neurosecretory cells show a definite cycle of formation and transportation of secretory granules. We have designated the phases of this cycle as: (1) phase of synthesis, (2) phase of granule production, (3) phase of granule storage and (4) phase of granule transport. The neurosecretory granules appear to be moved in bulk into the axons, forming a large axonal swelling filled with granules as a result of one cycle in the neurosecretory process. Thus it may be postulated that a secretory cycle in the perikaryon of the neurosecretory cell seems to result in the formation of a Herring body in its axon, and that its content is then conveyed to the posterior pituitary.
