Monobromobenzene and monobromonaphthalene proved easier to handle than paradichlorobenzene and acenaphthene, and at least as effective for inhibiting spindle formation, for shortening and straightening chromosomes to permit accurate counts and size comparisons. For prophase studies, methyl alcohol pretreatment was found effective in revealing centromeres, heterochromatin, and knobs. The following schedules were found simple and effective.
For metaphase chromosomes: (1) Remove root tip from germinating seed and place in saturated aqueous monobromonaphthalene for three hours. (2) Pour solution from vial and replace with a mixture of 70 volumes 95% ethanol and 30 volumes glacial acetic acid. Leave in fixative at least two days. (3) Remove opaque tip from root and macerate in a drop of acetic-orcein. Cover, heat to near boiling, flatten by pressing slide, cover down, onto a thick blotter.
For prophase chromosomes: (1) Remove root tip from germinating seed and place in 3% aqueous methanol for three hours. (2) Pour solution from vial and replace with a mixture of 65 volumes methanol, 5 of chloroform, and 30 of glacial acetic acid. Leave in fixative at least two days. (3) Remove opaque tip from root and macerate in a drop of acetic lacmoid. Cover, heat to near boiling, flatten by pressing slide, cover down, onto a thick blotter. 相似文献

Aqueous 45% acetic acid can be used successfully as a diluent for Ehrlich's haematoxylin and for Horen's trichrome stain (chromotrope 2 R, 0.6 gm; phosphotungstic acid, 0.7 gm; glacial acetic acid, 1.0 ml; water, 100 ml). Glacial acetic acid is used for dehydration of the stained helminths, and followed by a glacial acetic acid-methyl salicylate series for clearing. The whole process can be completed within 1 hr, from fixation to the cleared specimen, with helminths up to 5 mm in length. A satisfactory fixative for Monogenea, Digenea and Acanthocephala is: 85% ethanol, 85; formalin (40% HCHO), 10; and glacial acetic acid, 5—parts by volume. For Cestoda, 5% aqueous formalin is preferable because they are hardened excessively by the alcoholic fixative. 相似文献

We have developed a method which improves the spreading of chromosomes and permits banding analysis of cytogenetic samples of bone marrow and unstimulated peripheral blood which have been stored in fixative for up to 15 years. Metaphase cells had been harvested as usual and stored in fixative (acetic acid:methanol 1:3) at -15 C. The procedure includes 4-5 changes of fixative (acetic acid:ethanol 1:1). Next, cells are dropped onto a chilled, wet slide. The back of the slide is then rinsed with 70% ethanol and dried by ignition. C-, G-, Q-, or R-banding patterns can now be obtained with these specimens. The procedure is useful for reinvestigation of cytogenetic samples that were obtained prior to the development of banding techniques. 相似文献

Mosquito tissues of cytogenetical importance were dissected out on a slide in 0.65% NaCl, under a dissecting microscope, and treated about 30 sec in a drop of 1:3 Carnoy's fixative diluted 1:19 with distilled water. Fixing and hydrolysis was done by a single step in a mixture consisting of: glacial acetic acid, 1; ethanol 96%, 3; HCl conc., 2; and distilled water, 2 (v/v) for 2-6 min at 20-25 C. The specimen was then rinsed with the acetic-alcohol fixative and covered in a drop of 1% cresyl violet in 50% acetic acid under a coverslip coated with Mayer's albumen. Washing was performed immediately by adding water dropwise to one side of the coverslip and drawing the fluid from the other side with absorbent paper. The preparation could be used either as a temporary slide or made into a durable mount. The DNA-containing bands of the giant polytenic chromosomes stained dark violet; interband regions, weakly stained or colourless against a clear background. Mitotic and meiotic figures in gonadal cells stained selectively dark violet or violet with a practically unstained cytoplasm. 相似文献

A modified tannic acid-phosphomolybdic acid-dye procedure is used for staining myoepithelial cells in formalin fixed surgical and autopsy material. Paraffin sections are brought to water, mordanted for 1 hr in Bouin's fixative previously heated to 56 C, cooled while still in Bouin's, rinsed in tap water until sections are colorless, rinsed in distilled water, treated with 5% aqueous tannic acid 5-20 min, rinsed in distilled water 30 sec or less, treated with 1% aqueous phosphomolybdic acid 10-15 min, rinsed 30 sec in distilled water, rinsed in methanol, stained 1 hr in a saturated solution of amido black or phloxine B in 9:1 methanol:acetic acid, rinsed in 9:1 methanol:acetic acid, dehydrated, cleared and mounted. Myoepithelial cells of sweat, lacrimal, salivary, bronchial, and mammary glands are blue-green with amido black or pink with phloxine B. Fine processes of myoepithelial cells are well delineated. Background staining is minimal and the procedure is highly reproducible. 相似文献

A combination iron-mordant fixative in which propionic acid is substituted for acetic acid has been found useful in preparing small plant chromosomes for carmine stained squashes. Propionic acid is better than acetic acid because it holds more iron in stable solution. The fixative is a 3:1 mixture of 95% alcohol and pure propionic acid which contains 400 mg. of Fe(OH)3 per 100 ml. of propionic acid. The latter is previously prepared by dissolving the dry freshly prepared Fe(OH)3 in it. To each 10 ml. vial of fixative is added a few drops of carmine stain. Standard aceto-carmine squashes of material fixed in this mixture show quick intense staining and are especially useful for differentiated chromosomes at mitotic prophase. 相似文献

Lowering the proportion of acetic acid in the standard 1:3 acetic acid:methanol chromosome fixative used both during initial fixation and subsequent washing produced up to a 20-fold increase in the yield of intact metaphases from cultures of several permanent cell lines. Although this inhibited chromosome spreading, addition of various acetic acid-methanol mixtures immediately after the cell suspension was dropped onto slides increased the degree of spreading and resulted in well-spread, cytoplasm-free metaphases. 相似文献

We report a micromethod for chromosome preparation from individual hematopoietic colonies cultured in methylcellulose. The entire process was carried out on poly-Lysine (PL)-coated slides. Individual colonies were transferred into 10 microliter of 0.075 M KCl and placed on PL-coated slides. After hypotonic treatment of the colony cells and their attachment to the slides, the cells were fixed by a three-step procedure as follows: addition of a 30% fixative (3:1 methanol:acetic acid) diluted with the hypotonic solution, addition of 20% ethanol, and subsequent immersion of the slides in a 100% fixative. The slides were flame dried and Giemsa stained. Q- and G-banding techniques also were used. These procedures provided analyzable chromosome preparations, even from colonies containing fewer than 50 cells. 相似文献

A method was devised to prevent loss of whole embryos during fixation. Specimens were prepared in a chamber saturated with fixative vapors consisting of 3 : 1 (v/v) 96%. ethanol/glacial acetic acid. Good quality specimens were obtained after fixation for at least 24 but not more than 72 h. After staining, specimens could be preserved for 3 to 4 d by storage in the fixation chamber, in 45% aqueous acetic acid vapor. Using the method suggested in this paper prevents loss of early embryos during fixation and allows storage of specimens for longer than usual time while maintaining the quality of the specimen. 相似文献

A I cm3 sample of tubules from testes is placed in 5 ml of 0.7% Na-citrate for 20-30 min, then 5 ml of glacial acetic acid is added, mixed well, and allowed to stand for 30 min. The mixture is centrifuged, the supernatant removed, and 3 ml of 3 M gluconic acid is mixed with the tissue and allowed to act for 3 hr. The gluconic acid is removed with a pipette and the tissue is suspended in 5 ml of a freshly made 1:1 absolute ethanol-glacial acetic acid mixture. The tissue is drawn into and discharged from a syringe several times through an 18, a 20, and finally a 22 gauge needle to separate and suspend the cells. The cells are centrifuged and resuspended several times in fresh fixative to remove the gluconic acid. Finally, the cells are suspended in sufficient fixative to give a smear of suitable density, and air-dried preparations are made, or the suspension may be stored at 0-5 C for several days. The cells can be stained by any of the usual stains for chromosomes. This technique results in the improved spreading produced by the air-drying technique and permits recovery of all stages of meiosis and mitosis present. 相似文献

Embryos are put into 1% sodium citrate at 37 C; 7- and 8-day specimens requiring about 20 min. With increasing age, the duration of treatment is increased up to 50 min. Handling is facilitated by keeping specimens in a small glass vessel for observation under a binocular microscope, and by changing fluids with a fine-tipped pipette. Fixation in ethanol-acetic acid 3:l for 2-3 hr is uncritical, as material may be stored in the fixative overnight at 4 C. Staining in toto with 2% orcein in 50% acetic acid follows, requiring 0.5-1 hr (storage in this solution up to 2 wk at 4 C is permssible). After staining, specimens are subjected to cellular dissociation in a mixture of glacial acetic and 50% lactic acid, the action of which is controlled by the duration of treatment and by increasing the ratio of lactic to acetic from 1:Z (younger embryos) to 3:2 (older embryos). Only 1-3 drops of the dissociating fluid is used for each embryo, to favor concentration of the free-floating cells. Since the time required varies from several minutes to nearly an hour, the most favorable degree of dissociation can best be judged by the cloudiness produced in the dissociating fluid. A small drop not exceeding 2 mm in diameter, of the cell suspension, is placed on a slide and followed immediately by a normal-sized drop of fresh 3:1 ethanol-acetic. After drying, the chromosomes are stained with lactic-acetic-orcein or other suitable stain. The method gives satisfactory results with embryos from the 7th to 11th day of pregnancy. 相似文献

A chrome-alum fixative is recommended as a reagent for general use. The basic formula is: C.P. chrome-alum, 3 g.; 40% formaldehyde, 30 ml.; glacial acetic acid, 2 ml.; distilled water, 238 ml. This fixative permits easy sectioning of yolk-rich amphibian embryos. It can be used to make permanent slides of Euglena showing the flagellum. It is a satisfactory fixative for insect larvae and fixes sharply the slime droplets of Planarians. Fixation should not exceed two hours or the material being fixed will swell. Rinses of 70% alcohol or water may follow the fluid. The fluid keeps well, does not harden tissues and gives good cytological detail. 相似文献

The following technic, based on the patent blue V hemoglobin reaction, is useful for identifying hemoglobin in tissue fixed in neutral formaldehyde solution and embedded in paraffin:
Stain the deparaffinized, hydrated sections 3 to 5 minutes in the working reagent, prepared by adding 2 ml. of glacial acetic acid and 1 ml. of 3% hydrogen peroxide to 10 ml. of the filtered stock solution (1 g. patent blue, 10 g. zinc powder, and 2 ml. glacial acetic acid). Counterstain 30 to 60 seconds in 1:1000 safranin solution in 1% acetic acid, rinse, dehydrate with alcohols, clear in xylene and mount in clarite. Total time required, 37 minutes.
Blood and tissue and smears may be stained, following fixation in methyl alcohol, by applying the working reagent as above. 相似文献

Membranes are formed by allowing a drop of collodion-acetone solution to come into contact with the surface of warm sugar solution in a petri dish. Pollen is germinated upon the smooth areas of the membrane when all traces of acetone have evaporated. Semipermanent preparations are made by isolating the pollinated area of the membrane, floating it onto a slide, and, after the removal of excess sugar solution, adding a drop of acetic-stain fixative, followed by an albumenized cover slip. The preparation can be made permanent by inverting a slide in a mixture of 1 part glacial acetic acid and 3 parts absolute alcohol, when the collodion membrane will dissolve and allow the cover slip and adhering grains to fall free. The cover slip is then passed through absolute alcohol (2 changes), xylene, and mounted in neutral mountant on a clean slide. By substituting a drop of the alcohol-acetic acid mixture in place of acetic-stain fixative, the grains adhering to the cover slip may be stained by the Feulgen method. 相似文献

Using a 27 gauge hypodermic needle, bone marrow is aspirated from a lumbar vertebra into 0.1 ml of Hanks' salt solution. The aspirate is kept well mixed in 1% sodium citrate for 15 min, centrifuged, and the cell pellet fixed for 30 min in Clarke's 3:1 ethanol-acetic fixative. After removal of the fixative the cells are suspended in 0.05-0.1 ml of 60% acetic acid, centrifuged and resuspended in 0.03 ml of this fixative. Chromosome preparations are made by spreading the suspension on a slide heated to 60 C. 相似文献

Plasma is obtained from dog blood after 3 hr settling in a syringe. Portions of the plasma (0.5-1.0 ml) are added to 4 ml of a medium consisting of 17 parts of BME Spinner, 3 parts of calf serum, 0.5 parts of glutamine, 0.5 parts of penicillin-streptomycin, and 0.1-1.0 parts of Scarlet Runner bean phytohemagglutinin. Colchicine, 0.1 ml of 10:1 stock solution, is added after 72 hr and incubation continued for 2 hr, then centrifuged 5 min at 700 rev/min. The supernatant is discarded, 3 ml of distilled water added, and the cell suspension centrifuged again. The supernatant is discarded and the fixative, consisting of 45% glacial acetic acid allowed to act for 0.5 hr. Acetic-orcein stains of smears were very satisfactory. 相似文献

A fixative made of 5 ml of 40% formaldehyde, 2 1/2 ml of glacial acetic acid and 20 gm of chloral hydrate diluted to 100 ml with distilled water is useful for dissecting insects. The advantages of this fixative are that it hardens soft tissues without making them coalesce or become brittle, softens tracheae and the exoskeleton, causes little change in the dimensions of tissues, and it is an excellent preservative. Incisions in the exoskeleton and several sudden releases of vacuum aid in fixation. Details of methods of staining and dissecting are given. 相似文献

Rather than dissolve polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) powder in a modified Schaudinn's fixative (containing glycerol) by prolonged heating and stirring, it was found better to coat the particles of PVA with glycerol first. PVA powder (Delkote brand), 5 gm, mixed with 1.5 ml of glycerol and added to 62.5 ml of distilled water, is allowed to soak 3-16 hr in a stoppered flask, then heated to 70-75 C in a water bath (with swirling) for about 10 min or until solution is complete. A separate solution of the other ingredients: 95% ethanol, 31 ml; HgCl2 4.5 gm; and glacial acetic acid, 5 ml, is then added to the heated PVA solution, and swirled in the stoppered flask until the mixture becomes clear. This fixative is easy to make, produces little or no sediment, does not thicken with age, and has a long shelf life. It is strongly adhesive and fixes protozoa as well or better than that made by the older method or purchased ready made. 相似文献
