Lymphoproliferative diseases of fowl: JM-V leukemic lymphoblasts in cell culture
JM-V leukemic lymphoblasts were established in cell culture. The cultured cells (JM-VLC cells) were transplantable in young chicks and produced a disease indistinguishable from JM-V lymphoblastic leukemia as initiated by whole-blood inoculation. JM-VLC cells maintained a normal female karyotype through 13 passages in Rhode Island Red cockerels. With the use of JM-V antisera and antisera from birds with naturally occurring Marek's disease (MD), specific antigens were detected on the surfaces of living cells. Intracellular antigens were detected with anti-MD virus sera after cultivation for at least 1 day at 37 degrees C. In spite of the expression of MD antigens, the presence of herpesvirus particles associated with the cultured cells, and the occurrence of foci of multinucleated cells in kidney cultures from chicks inoculated with cellfree preparations of JM-VLC cells, the pathologic potential of the cultured cells was that of JM-V leukemia.

Anatomy of the Penis
The glans penis, or the head, is the terminal part of the penis and houses the external urethral orifice, the exit point for urine and semen. Covered by the prepuce, or foreskin, the glans is noted for its sensitivity and plays a key role in sexual pleasure. The body of the...
