Description
Abstract
T-2 toxin (3mglkg b.w.) was orally
inoculated to pregnant mice at 11 days of gestation to
examine the effect of T-2 toxin on the developing
embryos. At 24 hours after T-2 toxin-inoculation,
moderate pyknosis or karyorrhexis was generally
observed in some layers of the central nervous system,
caudal sclerotomic segment, caudal region of the tongue
to pharyngeal- to laryngeal-mesenchyma, trachea and
facial mesenchyma. These pyknotic or karyorrhectic
nuclei were strongly stained by the modified TUNEL
method widely used for the in situ detection of apoptotic
nuclei and also showed ultrastructural changes
characteristic for apoptosis. This is the first report of
mycotoxin-induced apoptosis in embryos
