Preservation of brush border transport systems for proline and alpha-methyl-D glucoside from rat, dog, and human kidney. 1982

L M Pepe, and P D McNamara, and J W Foreman, and N Tomassini, and K Hummeler, and S Segal

The effects of freezing renal tissue from rat, dog, and man on the time course of uptake of proline and alpha-methyl-D-glucoside by subsequently isolated brush border membrane vesicles was examined and compared with uptake patterns by membranes isolated from tissue that had never been frozen. The overshoot phenomenon was used as the critical criterion for viability of the transport systems. Membranes isolated from frozen rat and dog kidney possessed intact transport systems for proline and alpha-methyl-D-glucoside capable of producing normal or even enhanced overshoot patterns. Freezing human kidney prior to membrane isolation resulted in severe impairment of the vesicle transport capabilities. Freezing a crude membrane suspension, however, allowed the subsequent purification of only partially intact systems.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D008297 Male Males
D008757 Methylglucosides Methylglucopyranosides
D008759 Methylglycosides
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
