Historically, Cholodny-Rossi buried glass slide techniques have been used to study the microbiota of subsurface environments, yet the bias of such a technique has not been compared against direct sand extraction using modern in situ probing. Over a period of 34 wk, four separate 4-m-deep sand columns receiving raw lake water were examined to compare direct extraction of sand filter biofilm material against in situ glass slide biofilms. Significantly different DAPI direct counts and fluorescent in situ hybridization signals for major phylogenetic groups were observed. Not only were lower proportions (P < 0.001) of EUB338-probed DAPI cells observed on in situ glass slides, but also fewer gamma-Proteobacteria (12%-21%) and more alpha-Proteobacteria (16%-33%) when compared to direct sand extracts. Hence, investigators of the microbial ecology of even simple sand biofilms must consider the inherent biases from "accepted" methods and seek further independent methods to identify those which may be most accurate. 相似文献

A shallow glass slide chamber technique has been used for the short-term tissue culture of peripheral leukocytes and marrow. Seventy-three normal persons and 105 patients with various hematologic disorders were studied. Characteristic culture patterns were observed in normal individuals and in patients with leukemia. The technique was found to be of value for distinguishing leukemia from conditions which mimic it and for defining the malignant nature of some of the myeloproliferative disorders. On the basis of repeated studies in 22 patients with leukemia while under treatment, the peripheral leukocyte tissue culture technique was not found to be a sensitive enough guide for the control of therapy. 相似文献

We report a method to analyse multiple samples by fluorescence in situ hybridisation on a single glass microscope slide. Wells were formed in which independent hybridisation reactions could proceed by sealing a silicon rubber gasket to the slide. In the largest format tested, different probes were hybridised simultaneously by applying them directly from a 96-well microtitre dish which was inverted on a glass plate. This technique will increase the rate of analysis of multiple probes against a standard set of chromosomes and could also be used to analyse different karyotypes using a panel of probes such as single chromosome paints during a single operation. It should be useful for both chromosomal mapping projects and screening for chromosome abnormalities in clinical diagnostic laboratories. 相似文献

The mass serological survey of school children immunized against measles was carried out by means of the hemagglutination inhibition test. As a result, 20.4% of these school children were found to be seronegative, and in 9.5% of them even the minimum concentration of measles antihemagglutinins (when titrated with 1 hemagglutinating unit of the antigen) was not detected. The accumulation of a considerable seronegative (measles-susceptible) stratum among children of school age occurred due to the low immunogenic potency of some batches of live measles vaccine, used for immunization in 1973, as well as due to the formerly practiced immunization of children under 1 year of age. A direct and close dependence of focal measles morbidity among immunized children having had contacts with the source of infection on the number of children among them, found to be seronegative after titration with 1 hemagglutination unit of measles antigen, was established. 相似文献

Gelatin capsules with rounded ends clipped off and open ends moistened, affixed to a glass slide and sealed with a 15% gelatin solution are used to embed blocks of tissue in plastic. The surface of the slide serves as an orientation plane for structures of the tissue. The plane end of capsules of polymerized plastic containing no tissue is used in embedding frozen tissue sections. The plastic-infiltrated section is flattened against the capsule end under the weight of a 3/4 inch square of plate glass so that larger sections may be cut and surveyed. Embedding cultured cell monolayers grown on coverslips is accomplished in a comparable manner, but the square of plate glass is not needed as a weight. Block-face localization methods depend on the type of material embedded. With blocks of tissue it is achieved by moistening the face with xylene to develop relief. Thin tissue sections are examined by transmitted light, while cell monolayers are stained on the capsule end with methylene blue. 相似文献

A. Evered and N. Dudding Accuracy and perceptions of virtual microscopy compared with glass slide microscopy in cervical cytology Objective: To evaluate virtual microscopy in terms of diagnostic performance and acceptability among practising cytologists. Methods: Twenty‐four experienced cytologists were recruited to examine 20 SurePath® cervical cytology slides by virtual microscopy. Diagnostic accuracy was compared with glass slide microscopy using an unbiased crossover experimental design. Responses were allocated a score of one for a correct identification of normal or abnormal (borderline/atypical changes in squamous or glandular cells or worse) and a score of zero for an incorrect response (a normal slide reported as abnormal or vice versa). Perceptions of virtual microscopy were assessed by questionnaire analysis. Results: Participants yielded a total of 285 responses for the virtual slide set and 300 for the glass slide set. The approximate time to screen a virtual slide was 18 minutes, compared with 8 minutes or less for a glass slide. Overall there was no significant difference between virtual microscopy and glass slide microscopy in terms of diagnostic accuracy (P = 0.22). Virtual microscopy under‐performed when images were captured over a narrow focal range (P = 0.01). Diagnostic accuracy of virtual microscopy equalled that of glass slide microscopy when participants were able to focus through the full thickness of the slide images (P = 0.07). The most common difficulties experienced by participants with virtual microscopy were freezing of the computer screen during image download, slow response of the computer during slide movement and, in some instances, ‘fuzzy’ images. Cytologists have a strong preference for glass slides over virtual microscopy despite the overall equal diagnostic performance of the two viewing modalities. Conclusions: Diagnostic accuracy of virtual microscopy can equal that of glass slide microscopy. However, without good computer network connections, wide focal range and software that permits effortless navigation across virtual slides, cytologists are unlikely to be convinced of the utility of this technology for cytology screening and diagnosis. 相似文献

In the serological survey of 2009 children immunized against measles 285 children (14.2%) were found to be seronegative to this infection in the hemagglutination inhibition test with 4 hemagglutinating units of the antigen. Among 1724 immunized children showing positive response to vaccination and placed under dynamic observation for 11 years, 2 cases of measles were registered. At the same time, in the dynamic observation of 111 seronegative children 66 measles cases (59.5%) were registered during the above period, while among 169 children, also seronegative, but receiving booster immunization against measles, morbidity rate was only 1.2%. In some vaccinees the decrease of postvaccinal immunity to seronegative values was observed, but such decrease had no essential influence on the morbidity level among the vaccines. The increase of measles morbidity among schoolchildren immunized against this infection was due not to the decrease of their postvaccinal immunity, but to their concentration in schools and to their more intensive contacts with the sources of infection in comparison with children of preschool age. 相似文献

Here we describe a new method applying phage-displayed antibody libraries to the selection of antibodies against a single identified cell on a glass slide. This is the only described method that has successfully achieved selection of antibodies against a single rare cell in a heterogeneous population of cells. The phage library is incubated with the slide containing the identified rare cell of interest; incubation is followed by UV irradiation while protecting the target cell with a minute disc. The UV light inactivates all phages outside the shielded area by cross-linking the DNA constituting their genomes. The expected yield is between one and ten phage particles from a single cell selection. The encoded antibodies are subsequently produced monoclonally and tested for specificity. This method can be applied within a week to carry out ten or more individual cell selections. Including subsequent testing of antibody specificity, a specific antibody can be identified within 2 months. 相似文献

In this study, 2,4‐dinitrophenol (DNP), a typical chemical uncoupler, was employed to investigate the possible roles of ATP and autoinducer‐2 (AI‐2) of suspended microorganisms in attachment onto nylon membrane and glass slide surfaces. Results showed that DNP could disrupt ATP synthesis, subsequently led to a reduced production of AI‐2 which is a common signaling molecule for cellular communication. Attachment of suspended microorganisms exposed to DNP was significantly suppressed as compared to microorganisms without contact with DNP. These suggest that an energized state of suspended microorganisms would favor microbial attachment to both nylon membrane and glass slide surfaces. The extent of microbial attachment was found to be positively related to the AI‐2 content of microorganisms. This study offers insights into the control of biofouling by preventing initial microbial attachment through inhibition of energy metabolism. Biotechnol.

For protein chip construction, protein immobilization on the surface of the glass slide is essential. It was previously reported that glass slides are embedded with chemicals that contain primary amines and aldehydes for protein immobilization. We fabricated a plasma-polymerized ethylenediamine (PPEDA)-coated slide that exposed primary amines. For the plasma polymer deposition on the glass slide, the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) power was found to be a critical factor in sustaining a high density of amine on the surface of the PPEDA films. We prepared PPEDA-coated slides at three different ICP powers (3, 30, or 70 W). In the slide that was prepared at a low ICP power (3 W), we detected a high density of primary amine. Therefore, the fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated immunoglobulin G (IgG) was highly immobilized to the PPEDA-coated slide that was prepared at the low ICP power. For protein immobilization, 1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl]carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) was used as a cross-linker. The immobilization of the protein to the PPEDA-coated slide was carried out by consecutive incubations with 1 mg/ml EDC for 5 min and 0.1 mg/ml IgG for 1 h. This efficiently produced the functionally active protein-immobilized slide. Therefore, this work shows that the plasma technique can be applied to produce a high-quality glass surface for the immobilization of proteins and other materials. 相似文献

Anthers are collected and placed in a solution of 1 part acetic acid to 3 parts of absolute alcohol. The contents of the anther are squeezed out on a slide in a drop of Belling's iron-aceto-carmin solution and a cover glass placed over the drop. Care should be taken to remove all anther walls and flower parts. Heat the slide over an alcohol flame for a second, repeating 4 or 5 times. Place the slide in a petri dish filled with a 10% solution of acetic acid. When the cover glass has risen away from the slide gently remove the cover glass and place in a Coplin jar containing equal parts of alcohol and acetic acid. Likewise, place the slide in this solution. Run both cover and slide thru the following solutions: 1 part acetic acid to 3 parts absolute alcohol, 1 part acetic acid to 9 parts absolute alcohol, absolute alcohol and finally equal parts of absolute alcohol and xylol. Recombine the cover and slide in xylol-balsam directly from this solution. 相似文献

Recombinant proteins rN (nucleocapsid) and rH/Nh (hemagglutinin) of the measles virus strain NovO/96 of genotype A were obtained. The immunobiological properties of the proteins were studied in the reaction with a panel of positive and negative sera. Mice of the line Balb/C were immunized with recombinant proteins and native antigen of the measles virus strain NovO/96 in order to obtain hyperimmune serum and its analysis using ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and PRN (plaque reduction neutralization). The hyperimmune serum against recombinant proteins and native antigen of the measles virus strain NovO/96 were found to be highly active in ELISA. The antibodies against the proteins rN and rH/Nh were found to be able to neutralize the virus in titer 1:13.5 and 1:22.9, respectively. The neutralization titer of the antibodies generated against native antigen of the measles virus strain NovO/96 was 1:25.7. 相似文献

Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is used to isolate a concentrated population of individual cells or precise anatomical regions of tissue from tissue sections on a microscope slide. When combined with immunohistochemistry, LCM can be used to isolate individual cells types based on a specific protein marker. Here, the LCM technique is described for collecting a specific population of dopamine neurons directly labeled with tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry and for isolation of the dopamine neuron containing region of the ventral tegmental area using indirect tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry on a section adjacent to those used for LCM. An infrared (IR) capture laser is used to both dissect individual neurons as well as the ventral tegmental area off glass slides and onto an LCM cap for analysis. Complete dehydration of the tissue with 100% ethanol and xylene is critical. The combination of the IR capture laser and the ultraviolet (UV) cutting laser is used to isolate individual dopamine neurons or the ventral tegmental area when using PEN membrane slides. A PEN membrane slide has significant advantages over a glass slide as it offers better consistency in capturing and collecting cells, is faster collecting large pieces of tissue, is less reliant on dehydration and results in complete removal of the tissue from the slide. Although removal of large areas of tissue from a glass slide is feasible, it is considerably more time consuming and frequently leaves some residual tissue behind. Data shown here demonstrate that RNA of sufficient quantity and quality can be obtained using these procedures for quantitative PCR measurements. Although RNA and DNA are the most commonly isolated molecules from tissue and cells collected with LCM, isolation and measurement of microRNA, protein and epigenetic changes in DNA can also benefit from the enhanced anatomical and cellular resolution obtained using LCM. 相似文献

Highly sensitive fluorescent-labeled probes and glass slide hybridization for the detection of plant RNA viruses and a viroid 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this study, a modified method of the conventional RNA dot-blot hybridization was established, by replacing ~(32)p labels with CY5 labels and replacing nylon membranes with positive-charged glass slides, for detecting plant RNA viruses and a viroid. The modified RNA dot-blot hybridization method was named glass slide hybridization. The optimum efficiency of RNA binding onto the surfaces of activated glass slide was achieved using aminosilane-coated glass slide as a solid matrix and 5×saline sodium citrate (SSC) as a spotting solution. Using a CY5-labeled DNA probe prepared through PCR amplification, the optimized glass slide hybridization could detect as little as 1.71 pg of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) RNA. The sensitivity of the modified method was four times that of dot-blot hybridization on nylon membrane with a ~(32)P-labeled probe. The absence of false positive within the genus Potyvirus [potato virus A, potato virus Y (PVY) and zucchini yellow mosaic virus] showed that this method was highly specific. Furthermore, potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) was also detected specifically. A test of 40 field potato samples showed that this method was equivalent to the conventional dot-blot hybridization for detecting PVY and PSTVd. To our knowledge, this is the first report of using dot-blot hybridization on glass slides with fluorescent-labeled probes for detecting plant RNA viruses and a viroid. 相似文献

Measles virus-induced suppression of lymphocyte proliferation 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The mechanism by which measles virus induces immunosuppression was investigated using an in vitro system employing phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced human peripheral mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation. At a multiplicity of infection of 1.0 or greater measles virus significantly inhibited (45%) the proliferation of PBMC. This inhibition was not due to an alteration in the kinetics of proliferation. PHA-stimulated PBMC were then infected with measles virus for 72 hr and irradiated (3200 rad) to prevent further proliferation. These infected, irradiated PBMC when added to fresh autologous PBMC caused significant inhibition of lymphoproliferation over a wide range of infected:fresh cell ratios (maximum inhibition seen at a 1:1 ratio, 85% inhibition). Virus recovered from the irradiated, infected cells was 100-fold lower than the virus titer needed to cause inhibition by direct addition of measles virus. However, antibody to measles virus reversed the inhibition. Virus-free supernatant fluids from the infected irradiated cells caused immunosuppression of the PHA response. This immunosuppressive material induced by the measles virus was maximally produced after 72 hr and did not appear to require viral replication. This factor was not prostaglandin E or interferon-alpha or -gamma. The production of such suppressive factors during viral infection may explain some of the profound immunosuppression seen in situations in which little or no infectious virus can be detected. 相似文献

In connection with the introduction of the trivalent vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella at 18 months and 12 years of age, an evaluation of the seroconversion and booster effects in the two age-groups was carried out. This also comprised different laboratory-test methods appropriate for follow-up studies after large-scale, vaccination studies. The measles, mumps and rubella antibodies were measured by the haemolysis-in-gel (HIG) method. Measles antibodies were also measured by the haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test. Borderline values or samples negative to measles or mumps were also tested by the serum-neutralization (SN) test. All but four of 150 18-month-old children lacked antibodies against measles by the HI test and one of these by the HIG method. Against mumps, 99% were seronegative in the HIG test and 97% in the SN test and two against rubella prior to vaccination. Among 247 schoolchildren, 60 (24%) lacked antibodies in the HI test and 28 (11%) of these also in the HIG test. Sixty-six schoolchildren (25%) were negative to mumps and 45% to rubella prior to vaccination. The seroconversion rate for the 18-month-old children was 96% against measles, 93% against mumps and 99% against rubella. The figure for the schoolchildren was 82% against measles, 80% against mumps and 100% against rubella. On comparing the titre levels in seroconverting children, the measles-antibody levels were found to be lower among older children, compared with younger, while the opposite was true for rubella.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A method for transferring a lipid monolayer from an air-water interface to an alkylated glass slide is described. Specific antibodies bind tightly to lipid haptens contained in these monolayers on the glass slides. We conclude that the polar head groups of the lipids face the aqueous phase. A monolayer containing a fluorescent lipid was used to show that the monolayer is homogeneous as observed with an epifluorescence microscope. A periodic pattern photobleaching technique was used to measure the lateral diffusion of this fluorescent lipid probe in monolayers composed of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine and dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine. Different regions of the pressure-area isotherms of the monolayers at the air-water interface can be correlated with the diffusion of the fluorescent probe molecules on the monolayer-coated glass slide. Monolayers derived from the so-called “solid-condensed” state of a monolayer at the air-water interface showed a very low probe diffusion coefficient in this monolayer when placed on a glass slide, D ≤ 10-10 cm2/s. Monolayers derived from the “liquid condensed/liquid expanded” (LC/LE) region of the monolayer isotherms at the air-water interface showed rapid diffusion (D > 10-8 cm2/s) when these same monolayers were observed on an alkylated glass slide. The monolayers attached to the glass slide appear to be homogeneous when derived from monolayers in the LC/LE region of monolayers at the air-water interface. There is no major variation of the diffusion coefficient of a fluorescent lipid probe when this diffusion is measured on a lipid monolayer on a glass slide, for monolayers derived from various regions of the LC/LE monolayers at the air-water interface. This is consistent with the view that the LC/LE region is most likely a single fluid phase. Monolayers supported on a planar glass substrate are of much potential interest for biophysical and biochemical studies of the interactions between model membranes and cellular membranes, and for physical chemical studies relating the properties of lipid monolayers to the properties of lipid bilayers. 相似文献
