Ultrastructural analysis of nucleolar transcription in cells microinjected with 5-bromo-UTP
In situ sites of nucleolar transcription in cells microinjected with 5-bromo-UTP (BrUTP) were visualized at an ultrastructural level. After injection the cells were maintained for 4–90 min at 37°C, fixed, and ...

Retention of glycogen in cryosubstituted mouse liver
A periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-type reaction in which osmium-ammine was used as the reagent was carried out on ultrathin sections of mouse liver in order to study the extent to which glycogen is preserved. Compa...

Visualization of transcription in early mouse embryos
Transcriptional activity during early mammalian embryogenesis was examined in 2 cell, 4–8 cell and late morula/early blastocyst mouse embryos. Zona pellucida-free embryos were obtained after pronase digestion ...
