Abstract
ABSTRACTThe amphistome Cotylophoron cotylophorum feeds entirely on semidigested rumenal contents (plant material living bacteria, and protozoa). Morphological and histochemical studies have been made of the digestive system. Two types of cells occur in the caecal epithelium, the first type were larger and cuboidal with granular cytoplasm containing a high amount of RNA and proteins. The second smaller type were fewer, and contained pyknotic nuclei; their cytoplasm was vacuolated. The cells of the first type bear microvilli at the luminal surface. The surface coat consists of saliva resistant acetylated acid mucopolysaccharides containing hyaluronic acid with carboxyl polyanions. Intense activities of acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and ATPase, and moderate activities of nonspecific esterase and lipase are localized at the brush border. The functional significance of the surface carbohydrates and the hydrolytic enzymes has been discussed in relation to digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Abstract
The organization of the mucomicrovillar complex of the vomeronasal sensory epithelium of adult rats was examined using confocal laser scanning microscopy. In specimens labeled with the FITC-conjugated isolectin B4 of Bandeiraea simplicifolia, which recognizes terminal alpha-galactose sugar residues of glycoconjugates, we demonstrated that the mucomicrovillar complex was composed of islet-like structures with a high-density alpha-galactose core. The mucomicrovillar complex was further resolved into sensory and mucoid components in double-labeling and dual scanning experiments. The sensory component, which consists of the dendritic terminals of olfactory marker protein-immunoreactive vomeronasal receptor neurons, contained cytosolic glycoconjugates with terminal alpha-galactose sugar residues. The extracellular mucoid component consisted of glycoconjugates containing terminal alpha-galactose derived from the glands associated with the vomeronasal organ. These results demonstrated the complex microchemical organization of the sensory and mucoid components of the mucomicrovillar complex.

Abstract
The cytochemical changes of the Golgi stacks occurring concomitantly with cell differentiation were examined in ameloblasts of developing rat molar tooth germs using osmium impregnation and cytochemistry with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphatase (NADPase), thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase), and acid phosphatase (Acpase). NADPase, TPPase, and Acpase activities were already present in the Golgi stacks of the inner enamel epithelial cells, the undifferentiated form of the ameloblast: NADPase activity existed in the medial Golgi cisternae, TPPase activity in the trans Golgi cisternae, and Acpase activity in almost all cisternae and strongly in the trans-most cisterna of the Golgi stack. At this stage, however, osmium deposits after impregnation were not observed in the cisterna of Golgi stacks but were present in some small vesicles. These vesicles were located throughout the cytoplasm. Osmiophilic cisternae in the Golgi stacks were apparent for the first time at the stage when the Golgi apparatus developed and migrated to the region distal to the nucleus with the progression of cell differentiation. These findings indicate that the cis subcompartment of the Golgi apparatus was incomplete in the inner enamel epithelial cells with regard to appearance of its cytochemical property, as compared with the medial and trans subcompartments. It is suggested that the cis compartment of the Golgi stack may be completed only in the last stage of the compartmentalized Golgi organization during differentiation of the ameloblast.

Abstract
The ability to radiolabel biological molecules, in conjunction with radioautographic or cell fractionation techniques, has brought about a revolution in our knowledge of dynamic cellular processes. This has been particularly true since the 1940's, when isotopes such as 35S and 14C became available, since these isotopes could be incorporated into a great variety of biologically important compounds. The first dynamic evidence for Golgi apparatus involvement in biosynthesis came from light microscope radioautographic studies by Jennings and Florey in the 1950's, in which label was localized to the supranuclear Golgi region of goblet cells soon after injection of 35S-sulfate. When the low energy isotope tritium became available, and when radioautography could be extended to the electron microscope level, a great improvement in spatial resolution was achieved. Studies using 3H-amino acids revealed that proteins were synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, migrated to the Golgi apparatus, and thence to secretion granules, lysosomes, or the plasma membrane. The work of Neutra and Leblond in the 1960's using 3H-glucose provided dramatic evidence that the Golgi apparatus was involved in glycosylation. Work with 3H-mannose (a core sugar in N-linked side chains), showed that this sugar was incorporated into glycoproteins in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, providing the first radioautographic evidence that glycosylation of proteins did not occur solely in the Golgi apparatus. Studies with the tritiated precursors of fucose, galactose, and sialic acid, on the other hand, showed that these terminal sugars are mainly added in the Golgi apparatus. With its limited spatial resolution, radioautography cannot discriminate between label in adjacent Golgi saccules. Nonetheless, in some cell types, radioautographic evidence (along with cytochemical and cell fractionation data) has indicated that the Golgi is subcompartmentalized in terms of glycosylation, with galactose and sialic acid being added to glycoproteins only within the trans-Golgi compartment. In the last ten years, radioautographic tracing of radioiodinated plasma membrane molecules has indicated a substantial recycling of such molecules to the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
We used immune electron microscopy to study the intracellular localization of sucrase-isomaltase, an intrinsic glycoprotein of the brush border membrane, to provide insight regarding the sites of its synthesis and intracellular processing and the mechanisms of its transfer to the brush border membrane. We identified the protein by postembedding staining with protein A-colloidal gold and by preembedding staining with peroxidase. The protein was found not only in the brush border membrane, but also in the endoplasmic reticulum including nuclear envelope, Golgi complex, smooth apical vesicles, and to a variable extent in the multivesicular bodies. Our findings are consistent with current concepts of biosynthesis of plasma membrane proteins, with synthesis, translocation, and initial glycosylation occurring at the membrane of endoplasmic reticulum and further processing occurring in the Golgi complex. The findings suggest the possibility that some intracellular degradation of sucrase-isomaltase occurs. Finally, our results appear to indicate that at least the final step of intracellular movement, transfer to the brush border membrane, is mediated by smooth apical membrane vesicles.

Abstract
Galactosyltransferases (GTs) are one of the members of a family of enzymes called glycosyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of complex carbohydrates. These enzymes catalyze the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to an acceptor (glycoprotein, glycolipid) containing terminal N-acetylglucosamine or N-acetylgalactosamine residue. GTs occur in soluble (milk, serum, effusions, etc.) and insoluble (membrane) forms. The GT activities on the outer surface of the cells have been correlated with a host of cellular interactions, including fertilization, cell migration, embryonic induction, chondrogenesis, contact inhibition of growth, cell adhesion, hemostasis, intestinal cell differentiation, and immune recognition. GTs have been purified to homogeneity using affinity chromatography. Most GTs are found active in the pH range 6 to 8 and at temperatures between 35 to 40 degrees C. Manganese is an essential co-factor for GT activity. Isoenzymes of GT have been recognized, especially in tumor tissues, malignant effusions, and sera of cancer patients using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence and absence of SDS. Depending on the source of the enzyme, the molecular weights of GTs range between 40,000 to 80,000 daltons. Carcinoma-associated GT isoenzyme has been reported to have a higher molecular weight than the normal GT isoenzyme. Development of monoclonal antibody against the cancer-specific GT isoenzyme will provide help in the development of an immunoassay for the measurement of this isoenzyme in the sera and an aid in the radioimmunolocalization of the tumors in cancer patients.

Abstract
Ultrastructure of daughter sporocysts and cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum were studied 2 and 4 months after infection of Oncomelania hupensis hupensis. The body walls of daughter sporocysts are similar at all infectious stages. They consist of an external syncytial tegument on a basement membrane, and an internal cellular subtegument surrounding a body cavity containing developing cercariae. The cercariae embryos develop 2 months after infection from germinal balls in the brood chamber of the daughter sporocyst. They are at first enveloped by a primitive epithelium rising from the daughter sporocyst. Four months after infection, the cercariae were almost fully developed and the primitive epithelium had degenerated. The body wall of the cercaria consists of a thin tegument covered by a surface coat of fibrous material and connected to the subtegumental cells by cytoplasmic processes. The matrix of the tegument contains numerous dense bodies, vacuoles, and spines. Two types of sensory structures - uniciliated and multiciliated - are found at the anterior tip of the cercaria. There are five pairs of penetration gland cells of two distinct types differentiated by the morphology of secretory granules. Flame cells are found in both daughter sporocysts and in cercariae. The cilia of the flame cells are characterized by the typical 9 and 2 cilium pattern.

Abstract
The effect of tunicamycin, which is known to inhibit the synthesis of N-linked glycoprotein, on the duodenal absorptive epithelial cell of the mouse was studied in thin-section as well as freeze-fracture images. In tunicamycin-treated animals, the apical part of the epithelial cell was almost negative to the PAS reaction. Moreover, microvilli of the epithelial cell became shorter, larger in diameter, and fewer in number in tunicamycin-treated mice. In addition, freeze-fracture images revealed that the population density of membrane particles of the microvillus membrane was lowered by tunicamycin treatment. These results may indicate that the inhibition of synthesis of N-linked glycoprotein causes a decrease of membrane supply from the Golgi apparatus to the apical plasma membrane.

Abstract
The biosynthesis and intracellular transport of glycoproteins in duodenal absorptive cells of intact rats at 6 and 24 days and hypophysectomized rats at 24 days of age were studied after 20 min intralumenal pulse-labeling of D-[3H]galactose, L-[3H]fucose, or D-[3H]mannose. Autoradiographic studies showed that the incorporation of sugars increased significantly in intact rats between 6 and 24 days. When rats were hypophysectomized at 6 days of age, the intestinal epithelium at 24 days incorporated D-[3H]galactose at a level significantly lower than that of intact rats at 24 days. Hypophysectomy also interfered with the developmental increase in D-[3H]mannose, but not in L-[3H]fucose, incorporation. Biochemical study indicated that the radioactivity in the lipid-free acid-precipitable glycoproteins in the intestine of 24-day-old intact rats at 20 min after D-[3H]galactose injection was 129% and 97% higher than that in 6-day-old rats and in 24-day-old hypophysectomized rats, respectively. The patterns of intracellular transport of newly synthesized galactosylated or fucosylated glycoproteins in all animal groups were similar; the labeled glycoproteins were initially present in the Golgi and were transported through the smooth endoplasmic reticulum to either the lateral membrane or the brush-border membrane within 60 min after the injection of labeled sugars. The proportion of labeled glycoproteins that migrated to the brush-border membrane, however, increased about twofold in the intact rats between 6 and 24 days of age at 60-240 min after D-[3H]galactose injection. Hypophysectomy interfered with developmental increase in the transport of glycoproteins from the apical cytoplasm to the brush-border membrane. It was concluded that the incorporation of monosaccharide precursors into glycoproteins and the proportion of newly synthesized galactosylated or fucosylated glycoproteins transported to the brush-border membrane increase during postnatal development. The developmental changes are regulated, at least partially, by the pituitary gland.

Abstract
The terminal web of the intestinal brush border contains a spectrin-like protein, TW 260/240 (Glenney, J. R., Jr., P. Glenney, M. Osborne, and K. Weber, 1982, Cell, 28:843-854.) that interconnects the "rootlet" ends of microvillar filament bundles in the terminal web (Hirokawa, N., R. E. Cheng, and M. Willard, 1983, Cell, 32:953-965; Glenney J. R., P. Glenney, and K. Weber, 1983, J. Cell Biol., 96:1491-1496). We have investigated further the structural properties of TW 260/240 and the interaction of this protein with actin. Salt extraction of TW 260/240 from isolated brush borders results in a loss of terminal web cross-linkers primarily from the apical zone directly beneath the plasma membrane. Morphological studies on purified TW 260/240 using the rotary shadowing technique confirm earlier results that this protein is spectrin-like and is in the tetrameric state in buffers of low ionic strength. However, examination of TW 260/240 tetramers by negative staining revealed a molecule much straighter and more uniform in diameter than rotary-shadowed molecules. At salt concentrations at (150 mM KCl) and above (300 mM KCl) the physiological range, we observed a partial dissociation of tetramers into dimers that occurred at both 0 degree and 37 degrees C. We also observed (in the presence of 75 mM KCl) a concentration-dependent self-association of TW 260/240 into sedimentable aggregates. We have studied the interaction of TW 260/240 with actin using techniques of co-sedimentation, viscometry, and both light and electron microscopy. We observed that TW 260/240 can bind and cross-link actin filaments and that this interaction is salt- and pH-dependent. Under optimum conditions (25-75 mM KCl, at pH 7.0) TW 260/240 cross-linked F-actin into long, large-diameter bundles. The filaments within these bundles were tightly packed but loosely ordered. At higher pH (7.5) such bundles were not observed, although binding and cross-linking were detectable by co-sedimentation and viscometry. At higher salt (greater than 150 mM KCl), the binding of TW 260/240 to actin was inhibited. The presence of skeletal muscle tropomyosin had no significant effect on the salt-dependent binding of TW 260/240 to F-actin.

Abstract
We have determined that a protein of the fodrin-spectrin-TW260/240 (FST) family is a component of the thin fibrils (approximately 5 nm wide, 100-200 nm long) that cross-link bundles of actin filaments to adjacent actin bundles and to the plasma membrane in the terminal web of the brush border of the intestinal epithelium. When isolated brush borders were incubated with anti-fodrin antibodies and prepared for electron microscopy by the quick-freeze, deep-etch technique, these approximately 5 nm fibrils were specifically decorated with the antibody. In addition, these cross-linking fibrils disappeared when the anti-fodrin-reactive proteins were extracted from the brush border. We conclude that FST is a component of a cross-linking system composed of approximately 5 nm fibrils that are morphologically distinct from the approximately 8 nm myosin-containing fibrils which were identified by anti-myosin decoration. In addition to linking actin bundles to adjacent actin bundles and to the plasma membrane, these FST fibrils may mediate actin-vesicle, actin-intermediate filament and vesicle-plasma membrane linkages.

Abstract
Vibration of hamster small intestinal segments in hypotonic media containing PVP is a rapid method for obtaining quantitative yields of viable intestinal epithelial cells. This preparation of epithelial cells offers a unique system for the study of epithelial cell function in vitro. The method for cell separation combines hypoosmotic swelling of cells, which separates them at the desmosomes, with mechanical agitation which releases the cells from the lamina propria. No chemical agents known to affect cell proteins and cell surfaces are employed in this procedure. Only a short time is elapsed between in vivo and in vitro conditions, i.e., a preparation time of approximately 75 minutes. Although the technique yields a pure population of epithelial cells, the cells are of different morphologies, are removed from different areas of the crypts and villi, and therefore presumably have different functions. Examination of the intestinal tissue remaining after several vibration intervals by light and scanning electron microscopy indicates that the sequence of release of cells is removal of: (1) cells from the villus bases, (2) cells from the lower one-half to two-thirds of the villi, (3) cells from the villus tips (and some crypts), and (4) cells from the crypts. When pools of a+b cells are compared to pools of c+d cells, it is found that villus cells can be characterized by: (1) processes, such as monosaccharide absorption, associated with the brush border, and (2) synthesis of components (e.g., glycoproteins) of the brush border. Surprisingly, disaccharide hydrolytic activity is found in cells which transport monosaccharides poorly. The subpopulations of cells synthesize proteins equally.

Abstract
The effect of cytochalasin B (CB) and cytochalasin D (CD) on the endocytotic uptake of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) by intestinal absorptive cells was investigated by morphometric methods. The results showed that CD inhibited endocytosis considerably, and without any detrimental side-effects. CB had hardly any effect on the endocytosis of HRP, but caused a significant decrease in the number of apical vesicles and tubules involved in the transport of cell-coat glycoproteins from the Golgi apparatus to the brush border. Electron-microscopic autoradiographic analysis of the effect of CD showed that although endocytosis is inhibited significantly by the drug, the amount of radiolabelled cell-coat material entering the lysosome-like bodies was unaltered compared with control cultures. These observations support our hypothesis that the cell-coat glycoproteins of the absorptive cells enter the lysosome-like bodies by a crinophagic rather than by an exocytotic-endocytotic mechanism.

Abstract
The effect of chloroquine, an inhibitor of intralysosomal catabolism, on the synthesis, transport, and degradation of cell-coat glycoproteins in absorptive cells of cultured human small-intestine tissue was investigated by morphometrical, autoradiographical, and biochemical methods. Neither synthesis nor transport of cell-coat material was affected by the drug, but culturing of the absorptive cells in the presence of chloroquine led to a dose- and time-dependent enlargement of the dense bodies; other cell structures showed no alterations. 3H-fucose-labelled material accumulated in the dense bodies of the absorptive cells of these cultures. Since no increase of beta-glucuronidase and acid phosphatase activity (both lysosomal enzymes of glycoprotein nature) was found, this accumulation of radiolabeled material can be explained as a chloroquine-mediated inhibition of the degradation of cell-coat glycoproteins. These macromolecules probably enter the lysosome-like bodies by a crino-phagic mechanism, i.e., fusion of these organelles with the apical vesicles and tubules involved in intracellular transport. These findings suggest that the lysosome-like bodies have a function in the regulating of cell-coat glycoprotein transport in human intestinal absorptive cell, i.e., the degradation of excess cell-coat material.

Abstract
The intracellular pathway of biogenesis of the vesicular stomatitis virus transmembrane glycoprotein was investigated in situ by using indirect immunofluorescence of whole infected Chinese hamster ovary cells and immunoelectron microscopy of ultrathin frozen sections of infected cells. Transport of the glycoprotein was synchronized by using the temperature-sensitive virus mutant Orsay-45 and a temperature shift-down protocol. Sequential appearance of the glycoprotein in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and plasmalemma was demonstrated. The potential of this system for further studies is discussed.

Abstract
Electron-microscopic cytochemical studies on satellite cells of normal human skeletal muscle were carried out using the concanavalin A-peroxidase (Con A-HRP) coupling method. Con A-binding sites, which probably correspond to glycoproteins, were found to be associated with the cell surface, smooth surfaced vesicles, nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum of the satellite cells and were also identified at the cell surface of the adjacent muscle fiber. The possible relationships of these observations to the functions of satellite cells are discussed.

Abstract
We describe the sequential ultrastructural changes in villus absorptive cells of human fetal small intestine between 9 and 22 weeks of gestation. In concert with villus formation at 9 to 10 weeks, a complex membranous system designated the apical tubular system appeared in the apical cytonous system designated the apical tubular system appeared in the apical cytoplasm of absorptive cells. The apical tubular system consisted of deep invaginations of plasma membrane and membrane-bounded vesicles and tubules. Some elements of this system were characterized by linear arrays of particles on the inner (luminal) membrane leaflet. After villus formation, many lysosomal elements designated "meconium corpuscles" also appeared in the apical cytoplasm. Modified morphometric studies suggested that both the apical tubular system and the lysosomal elements were more extensively developed in the distal than in the proximal intestine, were most abundant at 15 to 17 weeks, and decreased by 18 to 22 weeks. Morhpometry also showed an inverse relationship between the relative surface density of the apical tubular system and microvillus membrane, suggesting the possible derivation of elements of the former from the apical plasma membrane. Exposure of intestine to ferritin for 8 to 40 minutes in vitro revealed ferritin in elements of the apical tubular system of 12- to 20-week fetuses. There was no evidence of transport of ferritin across absorptive cells. Distinctive membranous bodies composed of convoluted membrane-bound cisternae separated by narrow channels of cytoplasmic matrix were seen in the Golgi region and apical cytoplasm of fetal absorptive cells between 14 and 22 weeks. In a single 22-week fetus, there was marked proliferation of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, a decrease in cytoplasmic glycogen and loss of most lysosomal and apical tubular elements in the proximal but not the distal intestine. Thus, by the end of the second trimester, the structure of absorptive cells in proximal intestine was remarkably similar to absorptive cells in adult intestine.

Abstract
The biogenesis of plasmalemma glycoproteins of rat small-intestinal villus cells was studied by following the incorporation of l-[1,5,6-(3)H]fucose, given intraperitoneally with and without chase, into Golgi, lateral basal and microvillus membranes. Each membrane fraction showed distinct kinetics of incorporation of labelled fucose and was differently affected by the chase, which produced a much greater decrease in incorporation of label into Golgi and microvillus than into lateral basal membranes. The kinetic data suggest a redistribution of newly synthesized glycoproteins from the site of fucosylation, the Golgi complex, directly into both lateral basal and microvillus membranes. The observed biphasic pattern of label incorporation into the microvillus membrane fraction may be evidence for a second indirect route of incorporation. The selective effect of the chase suggests the presence of two different pools of radioactive fucose in the Golgi complex that differ in (1) their accessibility to dilution with non-radioactive fucose, and (2) their utilization for the biosynthesis of membrane glycoproteins subsequently destined for either the microvillus or the lateral basal parts of the plasmalemma. The radioactively labelled glycoproteins of the different membrane fractions were separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-slab-gel electrophoresis and identified by fluorography. The patterns of labelled glycoproteins in Golgi and lateral basal membranes were identical at all times. At least 14 bands could be identified shortly after radioactive-fucose injection. Most seemed to disappear at later times, although one of them, which was never observed in microvillus membranes, increased in relative intensity. All but two of the labelled glycoproteins present in the microvillus membrane corresponded to those observed in Golgi and lateral basal membranes shortly after fucose injection. The patterns of labelled glycoproteins in all membrane fractions were little affected by the chase. These data support a flow concept for the insertion of most surface-membrane glycoproteins of the intestinal villus cells.

Abstract
The transport of 3H-fucose- and 3H-glucosamine-labelled glycoproteins in the absorptive cells of cultured human small-intestinal tissue was investigated with light- and electron-microscopical autoradiography. The findings showed that these glycoproteins were completed in the Golgi apparatus and transported in small vesicular structures to the apical cytoplasm of these cells. Since this material arrived in the cell coat on the microvilli and in the lysosome-like bodies simultaneously, a crinophagic function of these organelles in the regulation of the transport or secretion of cell-coat material was supported. In the absorptive cells of patients with fucosidosis or Hunter's type of lysosomal storage disease, a smiliar transport of cell-coat material to the lysosome-like bodies and a congenital defect of a lysosomal hydrolase normally involved in the degradation of cell-coat material, can explain the accumulation of this material in the dense bodies.

Abstract
Light- and electron-microscopic autoradiography were used to obtain a coordinated metabolic-morphologic view of some of the events of cellular differentiation that occur across the epidermis of the Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) and which enable this animal to secrete copious amounts of mucus. As judged by epidermal incorporation of [3H]-thymidine in vivo, about 98% of DNA replication is confined to the basal three layers of the total of 6--8 layers of cells. Small mucous cells (SMC), the most numerous of the three major cell types involved in mucigenesis, show in vitro and in vivo radioincorporation profiles of [3H]-L-lysine and [3H]-D-glucosamine which differ markedly from those of [3H]-L-fucose and [3H]-D-galactose. Time-course incorporation profiles (mean silver grains/cell and percentage of cells with at least one cluster of silver grains) of [3H]-L-lysine and [3H]-D-glucosamine not only reflected the metabolic activities of cell renewal and differentiation in basally-located cells but also the high mucigenic activity in cells near the epidermal surface. By contrast, [3H]-L-fucose and [3H]-D-galactose were mainly incorporated by the more mature SMC in juxtanuclear regions near Golgi complexes and newly formed secretory vesicles. The intensity of [3H]-fucose labeling appeared proportional to the intensity of histochemical staining of the apical cytoplasm. The prominent capsule, within SMC in basal and lateral regions, which arises from a tight intermingling of tonofilaments, appears to restrict secretory vesicles to apical regions while the cell progressively differentiates and migrates to the epidermal surface. The other mucigenic cell types, large mucous cells and thread cells, each show distinctive differentiation and radioincorporation patterns.

Abstract
The intestinal epithelium of Ascardia galli has been studied with various cytological and cytochemical techniques. It consists of large epithelial cells resting on a thick collagenous basal lamina. Their luminal surface is provided with microvilli. The intestinal cells store considerable amounts of glycogen and neutral lipids. Some intracellular granular inclusions, which stain for proteins, phospholipids and lipoproteins, are distributed throughout the cytoplasm. The brush border is composed of microvilli whereas the outer surface coat consists of saliva resistant PAS-positive material. The detailed histochemical analysis of surface material has revealed that it is composed of nonacetylated acid mucopolysaccharides rich in hyaluronic acid with carboxylate polyanions. The brush border shows intense activities of acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase, moderate of ATPase, and lipase, weak of 5'-nucleotidase. Acid phosphatase-positive intracellular structures are seen in the intestinal epithelium which form distinct aggregations.

Abstract
The process of glycocalyx formation by the trilaminar membrane was investigated at the subcellular level by use of cultivated cancer cells derived from a human stomach adenocarcinoma. Glycocalyx was apparently synthesized on the characteristic trilaminar membrane of Golgi-derived vesicles which gave rise to cytoplasmic vacuoles which, in turn, fused to form an intracytoplasmic cyst. Characteristic microvilli similar to those of intestinal epithelium extended from the membrane lining the intracytoplasmic cyst. These ultrastructural features agree with earlier histochemical findings in suggesting intestinal metaplasia in the origin of the gastric tumor. The morphologic features of the cancer cells clearly indicated that glycoprotein is first synthesized in the Golgi complex and fully formed mucoprotein then emerges as membrane-bound glycocalyx in the vesicles budding from the Golgi stacks. The glycocalyx layer is an integral part of the external leaflet of the characteristic trilaminar membrane. Abundant deposits of glycocalyx in the intracytoplasmic cyst constituted the ultrastructural basis for a distinctive type of signet ring cell that differed from mucous signet ring cells derived from goblet cells.

Abstract
Electron microscope autoradiography was used to study glycoprotein synthesis in cellular trophoblast (cytotrophoblast) and syncytial trophoblast of term human placental villi incubated in vitro with D-[1-3H]galactose ([3H]gal). Autoradiographs were analyzed using the hypothetical grain analysis of Blackett and Parry (1973. J. Cell Biol. 57:9-15). The results of this study indicated that [3H]gal incorporation into term placental villi was predominantly localized to cytotrophoblast. Utilization of [3H]gal by term syncytial trophoblast was extremely low and yielded too few grains for a quantitative grain analysis. This result is in striking contrast to that found in the preceding study of [3H]leucine incorporation (Nelson, D. M., A. C. Enders, and B. F. King. 1978). Within cytotrophoblast, the rough endoplasmic reticulum incorporated the most [3H]gal into glycoprotein. The Golgi apparatus was another site of [3H]gal incorporation. The vast majority of the [3H]gal incorporated into cytotrophoblast during the pulse incubation remained intracellular through the duration of the experiment. There was little autoradiographic evidence for secretion of tritiated macromolecules. Cytotrophoblast incubated for the longest time period studied (4 h+) showed a substantial concentration of tritiated macromolecules in the Golgi complex and in the ground plasm but not in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Morphologic and histochemical studies have been performed at light and electron microscopic level on needle-liver biopsy specimens, circulating blood lymphocytes and fibroblast cultures from patients with mannosidosis. The findings demonstrated generalized storage phenomena of varying degrees in the various tissues examined. Histochemical findings were in agreement with the biochemical nature of the stored material. Enzyme histochemical methods indicated storage in the lysosomes, at least in the hepatocytes. The ultrastructural appearance of mannosidosis in itself has but a limited diagnostic significance since the morphology and distribution of vacuoles have characteristics in common with other storage diseases. Repeated liver biopsy disclosed extensive storage in the hepatic tissue. However, the progression of the disease was not accompanied by severe mechanical destruction or microcirculatory disturbances.

Abstract
An immunoperoxidase method for the demonstration of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in tissues was applied to formalin-fixed paraffin embedded and glutaraldehyde-fixed resin sections of normal human small intestine. CEA could easily be demonstrated coating the surface of the small intestine, lining the crypts, and in goblet cells, indicating its presence there in considerable concentration. At the ultrastructural level CEA was localised in the glycocalyx and in mucin granules of goblet cells but not intracytoplasmically.

Abstract
The fine structure of the absorptive cells in human small-intestinal biopsies cultured for 6, 24, and 48 h was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The findings show generally good preservation of the cultured absorptive cells and a normal distribution, size, and relative volume of their cell organelles, but there was a systematic decrease in the apical cell surface and an increase in the number of apical vesicles and tubules after culturing. Since the apical vesicles and tubules are thought to have a function in the transport of cell-coat material from the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface, these findings raise the question of whether a delayed transport or extrusion of cell surface material occurs. The diminished relative volume of the mitochondria and the increased signs of autophagy in some poorly preserved absorptive cells, are assumed to be an adaption to less favourable culture conditions.

Abstract
The ultrastructural development of the principal cells in rat small intestine was studied by morphometric analyses in relation to the exact cell position along crypt and villus. From the bottom to the tip of the crypt, a gradual increase occurred in absolute size of the total cell, the cytoplasm, the terminal web and of nearly all cell organelles. Also, the relative size of the cytoplasm, mitochondria, microvilli and endoplasmic reticulum increased during crypt cell differentiation. No sudden changes in ultrastructure were observed in the so-called "critical decision zone", normally located halfway up the crypt where the proliferative activity ceases. At the crypt-villous junction a 1.4-3 fold increase in cell size, cytoplasm, terminal web and of most organelles was noted. Expansion of the proliferative cell compartment over the total length of the crypt as occurs during recovery after a low X-irradiation dose (72 h after 400 R) does not affect the normal development of cellular ultrastructure. These findings are discussed in relation to biochemical and cell kinetic data.

Abstract
The small and large intestines of Xenodon merremii have a similar structure. They are separated by a sphincter of thickened circular muscle. The mucosa of the proximal part of the small intestine is raised into a honeycomb pattern, but distally there are only longitudinal folds. The lining epithelium throughout is of a simple columnar type, with absorptive, goblet, argentaffin and argyrophil cells, but no Paneth cells, villi or crypts of Lieberkühn are present.
