Blot analyses of glycoconjugates: enzyme-hydrazide--a novel reagent for the detection of aldehydes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A procedure for the general staining of glycoproteins and other glycoconjugates on protein blots has been developed. Aldehydes are formed on the sugars of glycoconjugates by periodate oxidation which then react with hydrazide groups of enzyme-hydrazides, a novel reagent designed for aldehyde detection. The bound enzyme-hydrazide is demonstrated histochemically. The new assay is advantageous over periodic-acid Schiff staining of gels as its reagents and signals are stable and the process is simple and expedient, and provides greater sensitivity. 相似文献

Feulgen nuclear staining with pararosanilin-SO2 was combined with the ninhydrin-Schiff technique. The aldehyde groups converted from primary amino groups are stained with an acriflavine-Schiff reaction. This results in a red nuclear fluorescence and a bright yellow cytoplasmic and nuclear fluorescence. The combined fluorescence staining facilitates cytofluorometric determination of total protein and DNA in the same cell. The ninhydrin-Schiff reaction is affected by the fixation procedure and the duration of the ninhydrin reaction. Investigations with a model system showed that proportionality between the fluorescence intensity of acriflavine and the amount of protein stained by the procedure was obtained after fixation with a fixation mixture suggested by B?hm et al. (1968) and a reaction with ninhydrin at 37 degrees C for 10 h. The ninhydrin-Schiff reaction has no effect on the fluorescence intensity of cells previously treated with pararosanilin-Feulgen staining and it is not affected itself by this previous procedure. Testing this double fluorescence staining on cytology specimens taken from patients with gastric carcinoma and uterine cervial carcinoma, cancer cells were shown to have markedly increased protein and DNA contents compared with those of normal cells. 相似文献

An investigation was carried out to determine general staining and histochemical properties of rat atrial specific granules. It was found that these granules may be demonstrated using aldehyde fuchsin after pretreatments which involve oxidation or thiosulfation. This new way of demonstrating atrial granules is compared to other staining methods in terms of sensitivity and selectivity as well as to the nature of reactive groups that may be involved in the staining reactions. No lipid or carbohydrate were detected histochemically. Overall assessment of reactions suggests that atrial granules are a site of storage for a protein or polypeptide. Some of the tests indicate that these may contain tryptophan and sulfur-containing amino acids. 相似文献

Rat liver, spleen and Walker carcinosarcoma imprints were subjected to depurinizing Feulgen hydrolysis and then treated with blocking agents of aldehyde groups. Such blockators as sodium bisulfite and hydroxylamine which multiplay additionally anionic groups in DNA and intensify the reactions with cationic dyes, ensuring anisotropic staining. Hydrazine lowers the binding of carionic dyes to DNA, instead phenylhydrazine, completely blocks both aldehyde and phosphate groups. When the imprints were treated with 2.4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, aldehyde and phosphate groups of apurinic acid were blocked, and DNA staining by cationic dyes occurred only on account of nitrogroups of the blocking agents which have been used. The staining reaction of cationic dyes after the use of anionogenic blocking agents of aldehyde groups is prospective not only for revealing DNA but also for several other compounds with natural or potential aldo- and ketogroups. However the reaction with phenylhydrazine can serve as a staining without removal of DNA prior to staining as an optional procedure. 相似文献

Thin sections in mouse mast cells and thymic cells are stained with cobalt thiocyanate a compound known to form insoluble complexes with organic bases. Chromatin, nucleolus, ribosomes and mast cell granules are contrasted. Different blockade reactions and enzymatic digestions indicate the staining corresponds to the basic protein amino-groups. The silver methenamine reaction stains the same cellular structures. However, the specificity control reactions show the staining mainly corresponds to protein sulphydryle groups and in a lesser extent to aldehyde and polyanions. 相似文献

This investigation was designed to clarify the role of the aldehyde component of aldehyde fuchsin in its staining reactions. Several aldehyde fuchsin analogs were prepared by using different aldehydes. The staining quality of these analogs and pararosaniline-HCl was compared with that of aldehyde fuchsin prepared with paraldehyde in the usual way. The major findings of this investigation include: 1) Aldehyde fuchsin staining of nonoxidized pancreatic B cells requires a stain prepared with either paraldehyde or acetaldehyde. 2) An aldehyde moiety is required for aldehyde fuchsin staining of strong tissue anions. 3) Staining of elastic tissue with aldehyde fuchsin analogs resembles staining of strong tissue anions more than staining of nonoxidized pancreatic B cells. Possible reaction mechanisms of aldehyde fuchsin with tissue substrates are discussed. 相似文献

Summary Oxidation and bromination of mouse kidney JG cell-granules result in the production of cysteic acid from cystine; cysteic acid is capable of taking up rapidly and selectively certain basic triphenyl methane dyes including aldehyde fuchsin at lower pH levels.After treatment with periodic acid, bromine and hydrochloric acid, the JG granules or the nuclear chromatin also take up the basic triphenyl methane dyes (including aldehyde fuchsin) which contain amino groups, probable as a result of the production of aldehyde groups. Basic triphenyl methane lacking amino groups does not react with aldehydes.Some substance present in JG granules could be stained by aldehyde fuchsin after prior oxidation; HCl methyl violet 2B was taken up both with or without prior oxidation. Only strong methylation completely abolished these affinities which were restored after demethylation. These reactions are attributed to cystine.The staining of JG granules with dilute aldehyde fuchsin and dilute methyl violet 2B is not affected by oxidation, bromination, aldehyde blocking and hydrolysis; these reactions are abolished by mild methylation, but restored by subsequent saponification. These staining properties are due to the presence of carboxylic acid in JG granules.The positive PAS reaction of JG granules is due to the presence of 1.2-glycol in the same granules. 相似文献

Studies on the molecular arrangement of RNA in tissues with a selective topo-optical reaction of RNA
J. Fischer 《Histochemistry and cell biology》1979,59(4):325-333
Summary Selective, demonstration of RNA in tissues was achieved by treating tissue sections with potassium permanganate followed by bisulfite and toluidine blue at pH. 1.0 (PBT reaction). It is suggested that this reaction is due to aldehyde groups which are formed by the oxidative cleavage of the pyrimidine rings of RNA which can be selectively demonstrated using bisulfite-toluidine blue as the aldehyde reagent.The specificity of the reaction was tested after RNAase treatment, after acid hydrolysis, and on pure RNA droplets. The aldehyde nature of the reacting groups was checked, after permanganate oxidation, by Schiff's leucofuchsin reagent, and by aldehyde blocking reactions.Two types of intracellular molecular arrangement of RNA molecules could be distinguished by polarization optics after application of the PBT reaction: 1) The strong birefringence, dichroism and metachromatic staining of membrane-bound RNA in ergastoplasm of pancreas, liver and plasma cells indicate a linear (planar) molecular order of RNA molecules on the surface of the membranes, and 2) the isotropic, basophilic staining of RNA not organized in membrane structures (Nissl substance, nucleoli) suggest a random distribution of their dye binding sites. 相似文献

Aldehyde fuchsin is a standard stain for the secretion granules of pancreatic B cells. The participation of either insulin or proinsulin in aldehyde fuchsin staining is in dispute. There is some evidence that permanganate oxidized insulin is stained by aldehyde fuchsin. Aldehyde fuchsin staining of unoxidized insulin has not been investigated adequately despite excellent staining results with tissue sections. Unoxidized insulin and proinsulin suspended by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels were fixed with Bouin's fluid and placed in aldehyde fuchsin for one hour. Because the unoxidized proteins were not stained by aldehyde fuchsin, it was concluded that neither insulin or proinsulin are responsible for the intense aldehyde fuchsin staining of unoxidized pancreatic B cell granules in tissue sections. A series of controlled experiments was undertaken to test the effects of fixatives, oxidation and destaining procedures on aldehyde fuchsin staining of insulin, proinsulin and other proteins immobilized in polyacrylamide gels. It was demonstrated that only oxidized proteins were stained by aldehyde fuchsin and that cystine content of the proteins had no apparent relation to aldehyde fuchsin staining. It was concluded that neither insulin nor proinsulin is likely to be responsible for the intense aldehyde fuchsin staining of unoxidized pancreatic B cell granules in tissue sections. 相似文献

Summary Using normal rat liver imprints, studies were carried out on the effects of histone extraction and the formation of aldehyde groups from deoxyribose on anisotropic toluidine blue staining of depurinized DNA after sodium bisulfite treatment. The anisotropic effect of bisulfite was found to be determined by binding of bisulfite ions to the aldehyde groups of apurinic acid which, together with free phosphate groups of DNA ensure coparallel attachment of the dye molecules. It was also shown that at pH 5.0 toluidine blue binds with both the phosphate and aldehyde groups of apurinic acid, to give anisotropic staining. 相似文献

Summary In the ninhydrin-Schiff reaction primary amino groups are converted by oxidation with ninhydrin to aldehyde groups which are subsequently stained with pararosanilin. Amino cellulose films, used as a model, and sections of muscle tissue were submitted to this reaction. The amino groups were stained before and after the ninhydrin reaction with dinitrofluorobenzene and the generated aldehyde groups were stained with dinitrophenyl-hydrazine. The molar extinction coefficients used for the calculation of the molar amounts of chromophores from extinction values, and the conditions for maximal staining intensity were determined on the amino cellulose model. With these data the yields of the different steps in the reaction sequence could be calculated in molar amounts from the extinction measurements. The results showed that from the amino groups originally present in the tissue sections less than 40% were converted by ninhydrin. About 90% of the converted amino groups were found as aldehyde groups and from these only 7% reacted with pararosanilin. On amino cellulose similar data were obtained. Attempts were made by modification of the conditions in the ninhydrin oxidation step to increase the overall yield of the reaction. These were only partially successful, but indicate that further quantitative study of other reaction conditions and different aldehyde generating agents could be promising. 相似文献

When the conditions for detecting proteins by ammoniacal silver staining (B. R. Oakley, D. R. Kirsch, and N. R. Morris (1980) Anal. Biochem. 105, 361-363.) following gel electrophoresis were varied, it was noted that glutaraldehyde pretreatment was necessary for maximal staining, which could not be explained simply as the result of "fixation." Further studies indicated that glutaraldehyde enhancement of protein staining with this silver reagent was probably due to oxidation of the aldehyde groups by silver ions, resulting in metallic silver depositions within the gel which act as nucleation sites for additional metallic silver localization in the protein bands upon the addition of formaldehyde developer. This proposed mechanism is consistent with the Tollen's reaction, as well as some aspects of the photographic process. Consistent with this notion, silver-staining intensities are directly related to mole percentage lysine of various standard proteins. 相似文献

Coupling a chromogenic amine to carboxyl groups of the lipids in the capsules of acid-fast bacteria was accomplished by reaction with benzidine, diazotization and using sodium beta naphthylate as the chromogen. By these means, acid-fast bacteria can be differentiated from non-acid-fast, and the intensity of the staining correlates well with the amount of lipid found in their capsules. By comparing the intensity of staining before and after treatment with 5% HCl, it is possible to demonstrate that some acidic capsular components are combined with calcium. Similarly, by comparing the intensity of staining before and after treatment with petroleum ether, the presence of oxyfatty acids (insoluble therein) can be demonstrated. 相似文献

Radioiodination of proteins by reductive alkylation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The use of the aliphatic aldehyde, para-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde as the reactive moiety in the radioiodination of proteins by reductive alkylation is described. The para-hydroxyphenyl group is radiolabeled with 125I, reacted through its aliphatic aldehyde group with primary amino groups on proteins to form a reversible Schiff base linkage which can then be stabilized with the mild reducing agent NaCNBH3. The introduction of the methylene group between the benzene ring and the aldehyde group increases its reactivity with protein amino groups permitting efficient labeling at low aldehyde concentrations. Using this method, radioiodinated proteins with high specific activity can be produced. The reductive alkylation procedure is advantageous in that the labeling conditions are mild, the reaction is specific for lysyl residues, and the modification of the epsilon-ammonium group of lysine results in ionizable secondary amino groups avoiding major changes in protein charge. 相似文献

Using the Feulgen technique in addition to the methyl green-pyronin and gallocyanin-chromalum staining, nucleic acids were detected in Toxoplasma gondii of strains SS-119 and RH DNA was revealed in the nuclei of both intracellular and free individuals examined on various days (2--6) after mouse inoculation. A high RNA content in the cytoplasm of endozoites is a most characteristic feature of this stage. However, no definite nucleolus has been demonstrated in the endozoite nucleus. Using the Fast green and Alcian blue techniques, resp., histones were detected in the endozoite nuclei whose locality corresponded to that of Feulgen-positive material. The Acrolein-Schiff method located aldehyde groups of protein in endozoites, the detected stuff being confined mainly to the nuclear and perinuclear areas of the parasite. Tannofilic protein seems to screen the endozoite body, no difference between nuclear and cytoplasmic staining being seen. Tryptophan and tyrosin were not detected in the endozoites of Toxoplasma. The results obtained on Toxoplasma endozoites are compared with the metabolic patterns seen in the host cells of the peritoneal exudate and with previous literature data. 相似文献
