Histology of the extraembryonic membranes of an oviparous snake: Towards a reconstruction of basal squamate patterns

open access: closedJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Comparative Experimental Biology, 2003
AbstractAn understanding of the evolutionary morphology of extraembryonic membranes in reptiles requires information about oviparous as well as viviparous species. We are studying histology and ultrastructure of the extraembryonic membranes of snakes to clarify the evolutionary history of reptilian fetal membranes, including determination of basal ...

Establishment of a rat placental cell line expressing characteristics of extraembryonic membranes

Developmental Biology, 1987
A cell line was derived from midgestation chorioallantoic placental explants of the outbred Holtzman rat. The cell line was found to express characteristics of extraembryonic membranes and to grow when introduced into allogeneic hosts. Growth in allogeneic hosts was detected following intraperitoneal injection of the cells but not following ...

Preferential inactivation of the paternally derived X chromosome in the extraembryonic membranes of the mouse

Nature, 1975
RANDOM X inactivation makes the female mammal a natural mosaic for clones of cells having either the maternally derived X (Xm) or paternally derived one (Xp) which is genetically inactive1. There are, however, instances in which inactivation is obviously not random2–7.

Extraembryonic membrane development in a reproductively bimodal lizard, Lacerta (Zootoca) vivipara

Zoology, 2004
Reproductive mode has been remarkably labile among squamate reptiles and the evolutionary transition from oviparity to viviparity commonly has been accompanied by a shift in the pattern of embryonic nutrition. Structural specializations for placental transfer of nutrients during intrauterine gestation are highly diverse and many features of the ...

Expression of CD59, a Human Complement System Regulatory Protein, in Extraembryonic Membranes

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 1993
CD59 (leukocyte cluster of differentiation antigen 59), is a phosphatidylinositol glycan-anchored membrane protein that inhibits lysis of cells by terminal complement system components. To further define complement regulatory proteins relevant to pregnancy, this study characterized the expression of CD59 in human extraembryonic membranes ...

Developmental morphology and evolution of extraembryonic membranes of lizards and snakes (Reptilia, Squamata)

Journal of Morphology, 2020
AbstractAmniote embryos are supported and nourished by a suite of tissues, the extraembryonic membranes, that provide vascular connections to the egg contents. Oviparous reptiles share a basic pattern of development inherited from a common ancestor; a vascular chorioallantoic membrane, functioning as a respiratory organ, contacts the eggshell and a ...

Analyses of cell surface and secreted proteins of primary cultures of mouse extraembryonic membranes

Developmental Biology, 1979
Abstract Procedures have been developed for primary culture of 13th day mouse parietal and visceral endoderm, yolk sac mesoderm, and amnion cells. We have analyzed cell surface and secreted proteins of these cultures by labeling the cells with radioactive iodine, glucosamine, or amino acids, and/or by immunofluorescence.

Expression of Calcium Transport Proteins in the Extraembryonic Membranes of a Viviparous Snake, virginia striatula

open access: closedJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2012
ABSTRACTYolk is the primary source of calcium for embryonic growth and development for most squamates, irrespective of mode of parity. The calcified eggshell is a secondary source for embryonic calcium in all oviparous eggs, but this structure is lost in viviparous lineages.

Placental development and expression of calcium transporting proteins in the extraembryonic membranes of a placentotrophic lizard

Journal of Morphology, 2011
AbstractPseudemoia pagenstecheri is a viviparous Australian scincid lizard in which the maternal–embryonic placental interface is differentiated into structurally distinct regions. The chorioallantoic placenta contains an elliptical‐shaped region, the placentome, characterized by hypertrophied uterine and embryonic epithelial cells supported by dense ...

Adaptive variation in the development of extraembryonic membranes of gekkotan embryos: A meta‐analytical approach

Journal of Morphology, 2021
AbstractHighly mineralized rigid‐shelled eggs characterize one lineage of gekkotans. In contrast, poorly mineralized flexible‐shelled eggs characterize basal lineages of gekkotans and all other squamates. Low oxygen permeability of rigid‐shelled eggs is associated with small eggs and hatchlings, and long incubation lengths compared to flexible‐shelled ...
