[Mercury fixation in different subfractions of human serum albumin separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis].

Electrophoresis of mercurial serumalbumin allows isolation of 5 proteic sub-fractions, whose respective importance is appraised by densitometry. In a parallel direction mercury dosages are performed on each sub-fraction. They disclose that there is a relation between mercury fixation and the sub-fractions migration speeds: the 2 sub-fractions with the lowest migration speeds had fixated more mercury than the others.

[Methods of in vitro evaluation for nephrotoxicity].

Mechanisms and precise targets of nephrotoxicants have been evidenced in experimental animals, a very important contribution for decades. But, structural and functional heterogeneity in renal tissue makes often difficult the exact determination of the molecular targets at renal cell level. Indeed, some new in vitro models have been gradually reported. This non exhaustive review purposes to present the different recent models, ever more reductionist, as isolated kidneys, kidney slices, isolated renal cells or renal cultured cells to assess the nephrotoxicity of new molecules. For every model are presented a brief history, the principle of the technique, viability criteria and its relative interest for renal toxicology. In conclusion, a general discussion points out the main advantages and limits of each one.
