[A satellited Y chromosome].

A previous report in 1967 on the observation of a satellited Y chromosome found in a French Canadian family line is confirmed by the use of the ammoniacal silver procedure which stains selectively the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) in acrocentric human chromosomes. There is evidence that this peculiar chromosome results from the translocation to the distal end of the Y chromosome long arms of a satellited segment from a D or G autosome.

Growth characteristics of a cell line derived from the pig oviduct.

Further evidence for the establishment of the pig fallopian tube (PFT) cell line as a continuous cell line was shown by an increase in the maximum population density as the number of subcultures increased. The optimal pH and temperature-growth ranges appeared to be 7.4-7.8 and 37-41 degrees C respectively, and the population doubling time was 20-25 h under optimal growth conditions. With progressive subculture, the serum requirements dropped from 20 to 2%. A plating efficiency of 2 to 4% was found in all serial subcultures. Colonies were observed in agar suspension culture at the 146th subculture and thereafter. Chromosomal alterations were found in the 100th subculture and thereafter.
