dc.description.abstract | Previous studies on mice have revealed that the Griffonia simplicifolia I (GSI) lectin selectively binds to capillaries in a number of microvascular beds. These observations suggest that the lectin might be a suitable microvascular marker for physiological studies of skeletal muscle, particularly when fluorescent visualization of vessels is desired independently of their perfusion status. Since species and strain heterogeneity has been demonstrated for certain lectins associated with the microcirculatory vessels, lectin binding was studied in a number of muscles taken from the major species of mammals used for experimental purposes. Staining of cryostal sections confirmed the utility of GSI as a marker for capillaries from muscle of mice, rats, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and monkeys. Differential staining of arterioles and veins was revealed by double labeling with GSI and antisera to Factor VIII-related antigen. Double labeling for GSI binding and alkaline phosphatase activity revealed that the GSI method detects many more capillaries and terminal arterioles than does the alkaline phosphatase method. GSI binding to unfixed whole mounts of thin skeletal muscles (hamster cheek pouch, mouse diaphragm, and rat cremaster) was studied to determine whether the GSI lectin would be a suitable marker for intravital studies. An extensive microvascular bed, including terminal arterioles, venules, and capillaries, was revealed which could be visualized in the complete absence of perfusion with fluorescent markers. These observations suggest that the GSI lectin may be extremely useful as a probe for the microcirculation of skeletal muscle in many types of physiological experiments. | en_US |
