Maturation of Xenopus oocytes is not accompanied by electrode-detectable calcium changes.

Abstract:

:Ca2+-sensitive microelectrodes were used to study changes in cytoplasmic free calcium during progesterone-induced meiotic maturation in Xenopus laevis oocytes. In contrast to previous reports, no changes were detected during the maturation process, although a large activation pulse of Ca2+ was seen when in vitro matured eggs were parthenogenetically activated. The resting level of Ca2+ in the oocytes was 0.14 microM +/- 0.05.

  • Lineage analysis of early neural plate cells: cells with purely neuronal fate coexist with bipotential neuroglial progenitors.

    abstract::To investigate the lineage relationships of neurons and astroglial cells early in central nervous system development, we have analyzed the progeny of neural plate cells in an amphibian embryo (Pleurodeles waltl). A fluorescent tracer, lysinated rhodamine-dextran, was iontophoretically injected into individual precurso...
