The authors employed the acidic fluorochrome morin after testing its high affinity for the fluorescent reaction with morin in human and chicken peripheral blood smears, and in streak smears from rabbit spleen. The best results were obtained with a solution prepared either with 0.10 mg morin per ml of 50 per 100 ethanol, or with a saturated solution of morin in distilled water diluted to one fourth in 25 per 100 ethanol. When observed under blue-violet excited light (436 nm) the acidophilic granules of leukocytes produce a bright yellow fluorescence, while the cell nuclei show a faint greenish fluorescence. As for the mechanism of the reaction, it consists possibly in an interaction between morin and the basic components of the granules. Other acidic fluorochromes, as primulin and hematoxylin, produce similar fluorescent reactions with the acidophilic granules.</p>","PeriodicalId":77791,"journal":{"name":"Revista espanola de oncologia","volume":"31 3","pages":"393-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17602662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors determine the amount of receptors specific to 17-beta-estradiol and progesterone in several cases of meningioma, glioma, neurinoma and intracerebral metastases. 17-beta-estradiol receptors were always detected, although in very variable amount (3 to 74 fm/mg protein).

After chemotherapy the amount of E-17-beta becomes almost undetectable. No correlation was found between prolactin and E-17-beta; apparently, the prolactin increase does not depend directly from the amount of circulating estradiol, but relies on the activity of the hypothalamic-hypophyseal system.
