Peculiar artefacts after fixation with glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide.

Peculiar electron dense granules were observed, in otherwise well preserved structures of the heart muscle and kidney of the rat after a 5-10 min perfusion, a 2 h fixation in the modified Karnovsky solution, followed by a postfixation in Millonig buffer containing 1% OsO4. The granules appeared most frequently on membranes, the surface of the red blood cells and in pinocytotic vacuoles, in stained and unstained sections alike. No artefacts were produced when the same buffer was used for both pre- and postfixation, or when the postfixative contained Veronal buffer.

Frequency of juxtaglomerular granulated cells in the mouse kidney.

Studies of 23 untreated adult mouse kidneys revealed that in mouse kidney sections the frequency of juxtaglomerular granulated cells as compared to the glomeruli is 38.5 +/- 1.79%, the value for the JGI, 71.8 +/- 3.93. Following 100 glomeruli through complete serial sections prepared from a single mouse kidney, it was shown that in the cortex of the mouse kidney all juxtaglomerular apparatus related to the glomeruli contain renin-producing modified smooth muscle cells with granulated cytoplasm.

Experimentally induced malakoplakia.

Malakoplakia was induced experimentally by introducing large amounts of crude endotoxin-antigen comples of 075 Escherichia coli (E. coli 12797 CDC 0 group 75) into the kidneys and testes of rats. First leukocytes, then granulation tissue composed mainly of characteristic macrophages, the so-called Hansemann cells, appeared around the endotoxin-antigen mass. On the eighth day following the injection, deposition of calcium phosphate into the cytosegresomes of macrophages began and acused the formation of the Michaelis-Gutmann bodies necessary for the diagnosis of malakoplakia. The induction of the same process in humans by E coli endotoxin seems to be possible.

[Characteristics of artefacts following fixation with glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide].

In the myocard and kidney of rats perfused with Karnovsyk's solution for 5--10 minutes then fixed for two more hours and postfixed in 1 per cent solution of osmium tetroxid in Millonig buffer, characteristic electrondense granules were observed. The structure of the organ appeared to be normal. Although the granules appeared to be diffuse, they presence was most marked on the membranes, on the surface of erythrocytes and in the pinocytic vacuoles both on counterstained slides and on those of without counterstaining. When postfixation was carried out with osmium-tetroxide solved in Veronal buffer artefacts did not occur. To avoid artefacts fixation in glutaraldehyd should not be followed by a postfixative containing phosphate buffer.
