A new cell line designated ENU-T-1 has been established from a xenotransplanted experimental rat nephroblastoma. The cultured cells are spindle-shaped or polygonal and are arranged in a wavy fashion morphologically similar to cultured embryonal renal epithelial cells. The cells exhibit a number of epithelial characteristics. Enzyme histochemistry gives positive reactions for gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase and alkaline phosphatase, both of which are present in renal tubular epithelial cells. Immunofluorescence studies show positive reactions for vimentin and cytokeratin. When inoculated into athymic nude mice, the cultured cells form tumors composed of sheets of epithelial cells with focal tubular formation. This cell line may be of value in studying differentiation of nephroblastoma, and possibly normal nephrogenesis.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009174 Mycoplasma A genus of gram-negative, mostly facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family MYCOPLASMATACEAE. The cells are bounded by a PLASMA MEMBRANE and lack a true CELL WALL. Its organisms are pathogens found on the MUCOUS MEMBRANES of humans, ANIMALS, and BIRDS.

D009396 Wilms Tumor A malignant kidney tumor, caused by the uncontrolled multiplication of renal stem (blastemal), stromal (STROMAL CELLS), and epithelial (EPITHELIAL CELLS) elements. However, not all three are present in every case. Several genes or chromosomal areas have been associated with Wilms tumor which is usually found in childhood as a firm lump in a child's side or ABDOMEN.
