Research Abstract |
Though the first mammalian chimera was reported in 1961, suitable markers for different animal strains which are easily detectable in histological sections of all or most organs have not existed. Chimeric mice were prodeced having an excelent histological marker, the C3H antigen, which is strain specific and fulfillls all the criteria for an ideal strain-specific histolofgical marker. Using male and female C3H-Balb/c chimeric mice we have examinede pithelial cells of prostatic ductal systemaand their morphological units to determine whether individual organs and their morphological subunits are monoclonal or polyclonal in origin. Our preliminary results indicate that the epithelial prenchyma of prostate and seminal vesicle and their morphological subdivisions were derived from cells of borh input strains, indicating a polyclonal orgin for each organ and/or organ component. However, the immunoreactibility is unstabel, and we need further refininemnet of the mothodology for incvestigate chimeric organ.
