What is Autoradiographic studies of uridine incorporation in peripheral nerve of the newt,Triturus about?
Autoradiographic studies combined with digestion tests of incorporated 3H-uridine showed that the peripheral nerve of Triturus contains ribonucleic acid. Localization studies revealed the presence of RNA in the axon, in the myelin and Schwann sheath, and in the Schwann cell body. Similar experiments on nerve separated by transection from its neuronal cell bodies yielded the same results. They showed that RNA of the nerve can be synthesized without the intervention of the neuronal cell body. The results strongly suggest that the radioactive substance, precursor or RNA, is transported inward from the Schwann cell to be deposited in the myelin sheath and axon. The route of passage and the possible sites of origin of the RNA in the nerve are discussed. A significant role is suggested for the Schmidt-Lantermann cleft because of its relations with the adaxonal layer of Schwann cytoplasm and with the myelin lea€lets.
