Abstract

The biological value of heparinized blood was found to decrease less on storage at 0 degrees C than on storage at +4 degrees C. At 0 degrees C the P50 value decreases substantially later and less, the blood is less acidotic, and the UV absorption of the dialysate is less enhanced than at +4 degrees C. The findings justify a further search for the conditions suitable for the widespread practical application of storage at 0 degrees C.

Ion and water transport by isolated cockroach salivary glands.

When the isolated salivary glands of the cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea Oliver are stimulated by dopamine, the putative neurotransmitter, they secrete a fluid containing (mM):Na, 121; K, 47; Cl, 143. Stimulation of glands by 5-hydroxytryptamine or the neuro-transmitter evokes a secretion identical in Na composition to this. Dopamine-evoked secretion is abolished in the absence of extracellular Na. The relationship between the rates of fluid secretion and Na transport is linear. However, at very low rates of secretion the Na concentration falls. Calcium, K and Cl ions can be removed from the bathing solution without abolishing fluid secretion. Our evidence suggests that (i) the primary secretion is formed by active transport of Na in the acini, and (ii) the ionic composition of this secretion is modified by re-absorption of Na and an independent secretion of K in the ducts.

Cyanine dye as monitor of membrane potentials in Escherichia coli cells and membrane vesicles.

The fluorescence response of a positively charged cyanine dye: 3,3'-dimethylindodicarbocyanine iodide can be specifically related to the generation in Escherichia coli cells and E. coli membrane vesicles of an electrical membrane potential induced either by substrate oxidation or by an artificially imposed potassium diffusion gradient. The energy-dependent quenching of the dye fluorescence correlates well with the known effect on delta phi of: oxidation of various energy sources, external pH and solute accumulation. Thus, in the vesicles, the fluorescence quenching of the dye increases from succinate to D-lactate, to ascorbate/phenazine methosulfate and parallels the increasing ability of these electron donors to generate a delta phi. In the vesicles, delta phi is only weakly dependent on external pH, whereas in the cells, delta phi increases with increasing external pH. Lactose accumulation in the vesicles results in the partial utilization of delta phi. A calibration of the dye fluorescence in terms of delta phi has been determined using valinomycin-induced potassium diffusion potential.
