“…This distribution pattern is suggestive of a more recent phylogenetic organization of these glands in the bony fishes (Garrett 1942;de Smet 1962;. Immunological observations in the present study are consistent with previous studies on the CS and stanniocalcin in other teleosts (Wagner et al 1988b;Kaneko et al 1988;Wendelaar Bonga et al 1989;Marra et al 1995).…”

The distribution of stanniocalcin immunoreactivity was examined in the corpuscles of Stannius of the white sucker (Catostomus commersoni) by using a chum salmon stanniocalcin antiserum, Western blotting, and light and electron microscopy. The white sucker possesses at least two stanniocalcin-immunoreactive corpuscles in the most posterior portions of the kidneys. Immunocytochemistry and ultrastructure revealed two cell-types in the corpuscle parenchyma, only one of which was immunoreactive. The nonimmunoreactive cells contained dense-cored vesicles and long processes that extended between the immunoreactive cells and terminated at perivascular spaces. When corpuscle extracts were subjected to electrophoresis and Western blotting, three nonreduced stanniocalcin-like immunoreactive bands (approximately 56, 61, and 64 kDa) were observed. However, in the presence of a reductant, a diffuse band migrating in the range of 28 to 32 kDa was noted. The results of this study on the white sucker demonstrate the presence of a dimeric stanniocalcin-like molecule and present evidence of a previously uncharacterized cell-type in the corpuscles of Stannius.

“…In the bowfin, however, several hundred CS were scattered throughout the opisthonephros in hemopoietic-rich re gions and in areas with abundant nephric tissue, still maintaining a close association with the distal renal tubules from which they are assumed to emanate (You son et al 1976: Marra et al 1992. The number and distri bution of bowfin CS perhaps reflect the ancestral organi zation of the corpuscles of Stannius (Garrett 1942;de Smet 1962;. Both garpike and bowfin CS are closely associated with an adrenocortical ho molog Bhattacharyya et al 1982).…”

Abstract. Stanniocalcin-immunoreactive cells were local ized in the corpuscles of Stannius of a holostean fish, the garpike (Lepisosteus osseus), using antisera against salmon and trout stanniocalcins and the peroxidase-antiperoxidase and protein A-gold immunohistochemical methods. The stanniocalcin-immunoreactive cells were periodic acid-Schiff-positive, and antibody staining was abolished if the antiserum was preabsorbed with corpus cle homogenate. Immunocytochemistry revealed two re active cell types in the glandular parenchyma, and im munoreactivity was confined to the secretory granules. Staining of the granules was also abolished when the antisera were blocked with crude corpuscle homogenate. When corpuscle extracts from garpike were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel elec trophoresis and Western blot analysis, a single dense band was evident with a molecular weight of ^68 kDa under non-reducing conditions, whereas three bands were observed (^29, -31, and ^3 4 kDa) under reduc ing conditions. Staining of all bands disappeared follow ing preabsorption of the antiserum with salmon stanniocalcin, trout stanniocalcin, or garpike corpuscle extract. The results are compared with stanniocalcins from an other extant holostean, the bowfin (Amia calva), and from more modern bony fishes, the teleosts.

“…There may be just one or two pairs in many teleosts and up to tens of pairs in holosteans, such as the bowfin, Amia calva ( Fig. 10.60) (226,663,941). The innervation and vascular supplies have been described (Fig.…”
