Amplification of immunohistochemical markers received considerable attention during the 1980s and 1990s. The amplification approach was largely abandoned following the development of antigen retrieval and reporter amplification techniques, because the latter were incorporated more easily into high throughput automated procedures in industrial and diagnostic laboratories. There remain, however, a number of instances where marker amplification still has much to offer. Consequently, we examined experimentally the utility of an optimized marker amplification technique in diagnostically relevant tissue where either the original signal strength was low or positive sites were visible, but sparsely distributed. Marker amplification in the former case not only improved the visibility of existing positive sites, but also revealed additional sites that previously were undetectable. In the latter case, positive sites were rendered more intense and therefore more easily seen during low magnification examination of large areas of tissue. 相似文献

A novel fluorescent ligand was synthesized as a high-affinity, high specificity probe for visualizing the serotonin transporter (SERT). The rhodamine fluorophore was extended from an aniline substitution on the 5-position of the dihydroisobenzofuran ring of citalopram (2, 1-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-5-carbonitrile), using an ethylamino linker. The resulting rhodamine-labeled ligand 8 inhibited [3H]5-HT uptake in COS-7 cells (Ki = 225 nM) with similar potency to the tropane-based JHC 1-064 (1), but with higher specificity towards the SERT relative to the transporters for dopamine and norepinephrine. Visualization of the SERT with compound 8 was demonstrated by confocal microscopy in HEK293 cells stably expressing EGFP–SERT. 相似文献

The experiment was organized in a 3×2 factorial arrangement with three dietary fat blends and a basal (20 mg kg?1 diet) or supplemented (220 mg kg?1) level of α-tocopheryl acetate. Dietary vitamin E and monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio (dietary MUFA/PUFA) affected muscle α-tocopherol concentration (α-tocopherol [log μg g?1]=0.18 (±0.105)+0.0034 (±0.0003)·dietary α-tocopherol [mg kg?1 diet] (P<0.0001)+0.39 (±0.122)·dietary MUFA/PUFA (P<0.0036)). An interaction between dietary α-tocopherol and dietary MUFA/PUFA exists for microsome α-tocopherol concentration (α-tocopherol [log μg g?1]=1.14 (±0.169) (P<0.0001)+0.0056 (±0.00099)·dietary α-tocopherol [mg kg?1 diet] (P<0.0001)+0.54 (±0.206)·dietary MUFA/PUFA (P<0.0131)?0.0033 (±0.0011)·dietary α-tocopherol [mg kg?1)]×dietary MUFA/PUFA (P<0.0067)), and hexanal concentration in meat (hexanal [ng·g?1]=14807.9 (±1489.8)?28.8 (±10.6) dietary α-tocopherol [mg·kg?1] (P<0.01)?8436.6 (±1701.6)·dietary MUFA/PUFA (P<0.001)+24.0 (±11.22)·dietary α-tocopherol·dietary MUFA/PUFA (P<0.0416)). It is concluded that partial substitution of dietary PUFA with MUFA lead to an increase in the concentration of α-tocopherol in muscle and microsome extracts. An interaction between dietary α-tocopherol and fatty acids exists, in which at low level of dietary vitamin E inclusion, a low MUFA/PUFA ratio leads to a reduction in the concentration of α-tocopherol in microsome extracts and a concentration of hexanal in meat above the expected values. 相似文献

Rhodamines were first produced in the late 19th century, when they constituted a new class of synthetic dyes. These compounds since have been used to color many things including cosmetics, inks, textiles, and in some countries, food products. Certain rhodamine dyes also have been used to stain biological specimens and currently are widely used as fluorescent probes for mitochondria in living cells. The early history and current biological applications are sketched briefly and an account of the ambiguities, complications and confusions concerning dye identification and nomenclature are discussed. 相似文献

Malachite green was discovered independently by two researchers in Germany in the 19th century and found immediate employment as a dye and a pigment. Subsequently, other uses, such as staining biological specimens, emerged. A much later application was the control of fungal and protozoan infections in fish, for which the dye remains popular, although illegal in many countries owing to a variety of toxicity problems. In solution, malachite green can exist as five different species depending on the pH. The location of the positive charge of the colored cation on a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom is still debated. The original names of this dye, and their origins, are briefly surveyed. 相似文献

The dopamine transporter is member of a large family of Na+/Cl- dependent neurotransmitter and amino acid transporters. Little is known about the molecular basis for substrate translocation in this class of transporters as well as their tertiary structure remains elusive. In this report, we provide the first crude insight into the structural organization of the human dopamine transporter (hDAT) based on the identification of an endogenous high affinity Zn2+ binding site followed by engineering of an artificial Zn2+ binding site. By binding to the endogenous site, Zn2+ acts as a potent non-competitive inhibitor of dopamine uptake mediated by the hDAT transiently expressed in COS-7 cells. Systematic mutagenesis of potential Zn2+ coordinating residues lead to the identification of three residues on the predicted extracellular face of the transporter, 193His in the second extracellular loop, 375His at the external end of the putative transmembrane segment (TM) 7, and 396Glu at the external end of TM 8, forming three coordinates in the endogenous Zn2+ binding site. The three residues are separate in the primary structure but their common participation in binding the small Zn(II) ion define their spatial proximity in the tertiary structure of the transporter. Finally, an artificial inhibitory Zn2+ binding site was engineered between TM 7 and TM 8. This binding site both verify the proximity between the two domains as wells as it supports an alpha-helical configuration at the top of TM 8 in the hDAT. 相似文献

The results described in the accompanying article support the model in
which glucosylphosphoryldolichol (Glc-P-Dol) is synthesized on the
cytoplasmic face of the ER, and functions as a glucosyl donor for three
Glc-P-Dol:Glc0-2Man9-GlcNAc2-P-P-Dol glucosyltransferases (GlcTases) in the
lumenal compartment. In this study, the enzymatic synthesis and structural
characterization by NMR and electrospray-ionization tandem mass
spectrometry of a series of water-soluble beta-Glc-P-Dol analogs containing
2-4 isoprene units with either the cis - or trans - stereoconfiguration in
the beta-position are described. The water- soluble analogs were (1) used
to examine the stereospecificity of the Glc-P-Dol:Glc0-2Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-Dol
glucosyltransferases (GlcTases) and (2) tested as potential substrates for
a membrane protein(s) mediating the transbilayer movement of Glc-P-Dol in
sealed ER vesicles from rat liver and pig brain. The Glc-P-Dol-mediated
GlcTases in pig brain microsomes utilized [3H]Glc-labeled Glc-P-Dol10,
Glc-P-(omega, c )Dol15, Glc-P(omega, t,t )Dol20, and Glc-P-(omega, t,c
)Dol20as glucosyl donors with [3H]Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-Dol the major product
labeled in vitro. A preference was exhibited for C15-20 substrates
containing an internal cis -isoprene unit in the beta-position. In
addition, the water-soluble analog, Glc-P-Dol10, was shown to enter the
lumenal compartment of sealed microsomal vesicles from rat liver and pig
brain via a protein-mediated transport system enriched in the ER. The
properties of the ER transport system have been characterized. Glc-
P-Dol10was not transported into or adsorbed by synthetic PC-liposomes or
bovine erythrocytes. The results of these studies indicate that (1) the
internal cis -isoprene units are important for the utilization of Glc-P-Dol
as a glucosyl donor and (2) the transport of the water- soluble analog may
provide an experimental approach to assay the hypothetical "flippase"
proposed to mediate the transbilayer movement of Glc-P-Dol from the
cytoplasmic face of the ER to the lumenal monolayer.

The degree and the origins of quantitative variability of most human plasma proteins are largely unknown. Because the twin study design provides a natural opportunity to estimate the relative contribution of heritability and environment to different traits in human population, we applied here the highly accurate and reproducible SWATH mass spectrometry technique to quantify 1,904 peptides defining 342 unique plasma proteins in 232 plasma samples collected longitudinally from pairs of monozygotic and dizygotic twins at intervals of 2–7 years, and proportioned the observed total quantitative variability to its root causes, genes, and environmental and longitudinal factors. The data indicate that different proteins show vastly different patterns of abundance variability among humans and that genetic control and longitudinal variation affect protein levels and biological processes to different degrees. The data further strongly suggest that the plasma concentrations of clinical biomarkers need to be calibrated against genetic and temporal factors. Moreover, we identified 13 cis‐SNPs significantly influencing the level of specific plasma proteins. These results therefore have immediate implications for the effective design of blood‐based biomarker studies. 相似文献

The understanding of integral membrane protein (IMP) structure and function is hampered by the difficulty of handling these proteins. Aqueous solubilization, necessary for many types of biophysical analysis, generally requires a detergent to shield the large lipophilic surfaces of native IMPs. Many proteins remain difficult to study owing to a lack of suitable detergents. We introduce a class of amphiphiles, each built around a central quaternary carbon atom derived from neopentyl glycol, with hydrophilic groups derived from maltose. Representatives of this maltose-neopentyl glycol (MNG) amphiphile family show favorable behavior relative to conventional detergents, as manifested in multiple membrane protein systems, leading to enhanced structural stability and successful crystallization. MNG amphiphiles are promising tools for membrane protein science because of the ease with which they may be prepared and the facility with which their structures may be varied. 相似文献
