Summary A method has been developed for the dual staining of neutral complex carbohydrates in light microscopy. It combines an alkaline phosphatase-labeled concanavalin A-5-bromo-3-indolyl phosphate, p-toluidine salt (Con A-ALP-BIPT) method with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) sequence. With the present dual staining method, it is possible to color -d-glucosyl and -d-mannosyl residues blue and 1,2-glycol groups of neutral complex carbohydrates magenta. The validity of this method has been confirmed with appropriate histochemical controls and enzyme digestions on test tissues. 相似文献

A method has been established for the dual staining of complex carbohydrates in light microscopy. It is a combined concanavalin A-peroxidase-diaminobenzidine (Con-A-PO-DAB)-alcian blue (AB) (pH 2.5) method, and with this method it is possible to color alpha-D-glucosyl and alpha-D-mannosyl residues and acidic groupings of complex carbohydrates in tissues brown and blue respectively. Histochemical experiments using histological sections with reactive complex carbohydrates and casein films containing carbohydrates of known chemical structure have substantiated the validity of the above significance of the dual staining. Thus, the present dual staining method is a reliable one and a new addition to a series of dual staining techniques hitherto employed in the light microscopic histochemistry of complex carbohydrates. 相似文献

A systematic histochemical study of the complex carbohydrates of the lateral prostate and seminal vesicle of the guinea pig has been made. The complex carbohydrates of the guinea pig male accessory sex glands were partially characterized by various conventional carbohydrate histochemical methods including periodic acid-Schiff, selective periodate oxidation-Schiff reaction, Alcian blue staining at pH 2.5 and 1.0, and high iron diamine. The results indicated that neutral glycoconjugates with 1,2-glycol groups and sialic acids were present in the luminal border and apical cytoplasm of the glandular cells, basement membrane and connective tissue in the lamina propria of the lateral prostate. Similar patterns were demonstrated in the seminal vesicle except that there were relatively fewer or no neutral carbohydrates in the apical cytoplasm of the vesicular epithelial cells. The epithelial basement membrane and connective tissue at the epithelial-stromal interface of both glands were rich in acidic and sulphated glycosaminoglycans. Partial characterization by bovine testicular hyaluronidase indicated the presence of chondroitin sulphates in the lamina propria of the glands. 相似文献

Summary In the scrotal skin of the boar, the histochemistry of complex carbohydrates has been studied by means of a series of selected methods of light microscopy. The epidermis of the scrotal skin was found to contain neutral and acidic complex carbohydrates with different saccharide residues. The secretory epithelial cells and secretory substances of the saccular apocrine sweat glands contained sulfated, other acidic and neutral complex carbohydrates, whereas the secretory epithelial cells and secretory substances of the tubular apocrine sweat glands involved largely neutral complex carbohydrates. The two types of complex carbohydrates from the both glands were shown to contain commonly substantial amounts of various saccharide residues but were devoid of notable amounts of sialic acid residues. In addition, complex carbohydrates in the smooth muscle cells were reacted for relatively small amounts of saccharide residues. From the present results, the histophysiological significanses of complex carbohydrates in the particular histologic structures of the scrotum have been discussed with special reference to the functions of the skin in the boar.A major part of this work has been presented at the 6th International Histochemistry and Cytochemistry Congress, Brighton, United Kingdom, in 1980 相似文献

The histochemistry of carbohydrates has been studied in the epithelium lining the bulbourethral gland of the rat by means of light- and electron-microscopic methods. The results obtained show that the cytoplasms of the epithelial cells contain neutral and acidic carbohydrates. The neutral carbohydrates exhibited positive reactions with periodic acid-Schiff and periodic acid-thiosemicarbazide-silver proteinate, whereas the acidic carbohydrates reacted positively with alcian blue (AB; pH 1.0 and 2.5) and dialyzed iron. Most neutral carbohydrates were found to be glycoproteins localized within the secretory granules. The acidic carbohydrates consist of at least two types, AB (pH 1.0)-reactive sulfated and AB (pH 2.5)-reactive nonsulfated carbohydrates; most nonsulfated carbohydrates were determined to be sialic acid. The acidic carbohydrates were also localized within the secretory granules. 相似文献

The staining mechanism underlying the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-Alcian Blue (AB) sequence has been investigated using a variety of glycoprotein-containing tissues from different organs of the monkey, rat and mouse. The results obtained suggest that reactive carbohydrates contain at least three types of chemical end-groups found in neutral and acidic glycoproteins: (1) PA-engendered aldehyde groups coloured magenta by the Schiff reagent; (2) PA-engendered aldehyde groups coloured blue bisulphite-AB; and (3) naturally occurring acidic (carboxyl and/or sulphate) groups coloured blue by AB only. The PAS-AB sequence showed heterogeneity of glycoprotein structures in the conjunctiva and the duodenal goblet cells. Thus, the PAS-AB sequence is not the simple reverse sequence of AB-PAS but has its own definite and unique staining selectivity and can hence be used as a reliable method for the histochemistry of glycoproteins at the light microscope level. 相似文献

Analysis of sialyllactoses in blood and urine by high-performance liquid chromatography 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A sensitive and highly selective high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based method has been developed for the analysis of oligosaccharides in biological fluids. In this method, a sample of biological fluid, such as blood serum or urine, is filtered through a 10,000 molecular weight cutoff filter cartridge to remove large molecules such as proteins and lipids. The carbohydrates in the filtrate are then derivatized with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) as described previously [Anal. Biochem. 180, 351-357, (1989)]. The derivatized carbohydrates are separated by reverse-phase HPLC and monitored by UV absorbance at 245 nm. Quantitative analysis of the carbohydrates can be achieved based on their integration values relative to a standard calibration curve. Since neutral and acidic carbohydrates can be separated by using Dowex 1-X8 anion exchange resin, this method can be used specifically to analyze neutral, acidic, and total carbohydrates in the biological fluids. Because PMP specifically reacts with reducing aldoses, interference from noncarbohydrate components present in the biological fluids is essentially eliminated. This method has proven to be highly sensitive, requiring as little as 5 pmol of analyte for reliable analysis. It has also been used successfully for pharmacokinetic analysis of carbohydrate drugs in human blood and urine samples. 相似文献

In the intercellular matrix of the granulosa layer of the mouse ovarian follicles, ultrastructural features of acidic complex carbohydrates have been studied by means of dialyzed iron (DI) staining in combination with procedures of digestion with Streptomyces and testicular hyaluronidases. In the intercellular matrix, DI reactive structures containing acidic complex carbohydrates consist of layers of a variable thickness coating the plasma membrane of the granulosa cells and reticular elements distributed in the spaces between the cells. The latter exists in two appearances; one is clumped masses of irregular shapes and different sizes, whereas the other being filamentous figures radiating from the masses. The effects of digestion with Streptomyces and testicular hyaluronidases upon the DI staining of the tissues indicate that the DI reactive structures in the intercellular matrix contain at least three types of acidic complex carbohydrates; hyaluronic acid, isomeric chondroitin sulfates and other acidic glycosaminoglycans. The histophysiological activities played by these particular complex carbohydrates have been briefly discussed. 相似文献

Identification of methyl ethers obtained by methylation and subsequent hydrolysis is a powerful technique for determination of linkage positions in structure studies of complex carbohydrates. Although methyl ethers of neutral sugars have been separated by various chromatographic methods, separation of methyl ethers of 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose has been more difficult. Only recently, successful procedures for separation of methyl ethers of d-glucosamine based on thin-layer (1), gas (2), and column (3) chromatography have appeared in literature. We wish to report here a method for separation of d-glucosamine methyl ethers using a combination of partition and ion-exchange chromatography. 相似文献

Microtiter plate colorimetric assays are widely used for analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. However, mucins are often not easily detected, as they have low neutral sugar content. We have adapted and optimised the periodic acid–Schiff’s reagent (PAS) staining for microtiter plate assay by examining five factors: concentration and volume of periodic acid, oxidation time, volume of Schiff’s reagent, and color development time. This assay requires just 25 μl of sample, utilises standardised Schiff’s reagent, and has decreased assay time (140 min to completion). Seventeen monosaccharides (acidic, neutral, basic, phosphorylated, and deoxy) and four disaccharides were assessed. PAS-positive carbohydrates (amino, N-acetylamino, deoxy, and certain neutral monosaccharides, and sialic acids) responded linearly within a 10–100 nmol range approximately, which varied for each carbohydrate. The assay response for fetuin and porcine gastric mucin (PGM) was linear up to 150 μg (highest concentration tested), with no response from nonglycosylated protein. A lower response for asialofetuin was observed, but desialylated PGM preparations were similar or higher in response than their sialylated counterparts. The simplicity and low sample consumption of this method make it an excellent choice for screening or quantitation of chromatographic fractions containing carbohydrates and glycoconjugates, especially in the case of mucins. 相似文献

Glycoproteins were histochemically localized in oxyntic cells of the frog stomach by staining with periodic acid-silver methenamine. Reduction of silver was most intense on (a) the outer aspect of the apical plasmalemma, (b) within the tubular smooth membrane system characteristic of oxyntic cells, and (c) within cisternae and vesicles of the Golgi complex. Other membrane components such as those from the mitochondria, nucleus, junctional complex, lateral and basal cell membranes showed little or no stainability. Gastric mucosal homogenates were fractionated by centrifugation for further morphological and chemical analysis. The staining reaction of the microsomal fraction (40,000 g x 60 min) was similar to that of the tubular membranous components of intact oxyntic cells. Carbohydrate analyses showed that all cell fractions are extremely low in acidic sugars, uronic and sialic acids, while neutral sugars and hexosamines are relatively abundant. The microsomal fraction contains the largest proportion of carbohydrates, ca. 9% of the fat-free dry weight. Another distinguishing feature is that glucosamine is the only detectable hexosamine in the microsomal fraction. These histochemical and chemical data indicate that neutral glycoproteins are associated with membranous components which have been implicated in the process of HCl secretion by oxyntic cells. The staining pattern within the cells supports the hypothesis of interrelationships between the Golgi membranes, tubular smooth membranes, and apical surface membrane. 相似文献

The histochemistry of complex carbohydrates in the testes of patients of idiopathic male infertility
Y. Maseki 《Histochemistry and cell biology》1979,64(3):223-233
Summary In testis tissues from patients with idiopathic male infertility, complex carbohydrates have been studied by means of light microscopic histochemical methods, comparisons being made with the normal testes. In the infertile testes, histochemical reactions for acidic and neutral complex carbohydrates were in general weaker in intensity than in the normal testes. In the seminiferous tubules and interstitium of the infertile testes, a histochemical finding of primary importance was obtained with the demonstration of galactose deficiency in the complex carbohydrates involved. These glycoproteins contained only small numbers of sulfhydryl and disulfide groups. The possible histophysiological significance of these complex carbohydrates is discussed, with special reference to their histochemical properties determined in the present study. 相似文献

The chemotaxis of V. cholerae in response to 56 different substances (amino acids, carbohydrates, salts, etc.) has been studied by the methods of visual observation and quantitative determination. Attractants, neutral substances and one repellent have been revealed. Adler's method (1973) has been modified with regard to the requirements for the working procedures in handling the causative agents of highly dangerous infections. 相似文献

A complex histochemical investigation has been undertaken to study the epithelial lining of the glandular stomach in birds having various types of nutrition. The protective barrier of the avian stomach has been found to be characterized as a resistant (mucosal) barrier, with neutral glycoproteins, sialo- and sulphoglycoproteins as its components. Differences in histochemical properties of the epitheliocyte secretion have been described in birds with different types of nutrition. They are connected with various correlation of carbohydrates and proteins in the composition of the micromolecular glycoprotein complex. The data obtained are compared with those concerning the histochemical properties of the stomach in amphibia and reptiles which have the mucous membrane structure similar to that in the avian stomach. 相似文献

Fullmer's oxytalan fibers appear to be special connective tissue fibers belonging to elastic system fibers. We have ultrastructurally examined carbohydrates in oxytalan fibers in monkey periodontal ligaments after glutaraldehyde fixation and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) decalcification using: Thiéry's periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate (PA-TCH-SP) method for thin-section staining of vicinal glycol-containing complex carbohydrates, and the concanavalin A-ferritin (Con A-ferritin) and Con A-horseradish peroxidase (Con-A-HRP) en bloc staining methods specific for alpha-D-mannosyl and alpha-D-glucosyl groups. PA-TCH-SP stained collagen fibrils weakly to moderately and stained oxytalan fibers moderately. Con A-ferritin and Con A-HRP stained collagen fibrils weakly or moderately and stained oxytalan fibers intensely within the superficial region of specimen blocks. The penetration of staining reagents was improved by prior saponin treatment and/or chondroitinase ABC digestion. Thus, these studies demonstrate that PA-TCH-SP and Con A staining of carbohydrates is very useful in identifying oxytalan fibers at the ultrastructural level and that more carbohydrate components are present in oxytalan fibers than in collagen fibrils. 相似文献

The feline species provides animal models for at least six congenital lysosomal disorders. Since knowledge of normal feline neutrophils is a prerequisite for studies of their abnormalities, the present report describes the morphology and cytochemistry of normal feline neutrophils and compares the subcellular distribution of sulfate- and vicinal-glycol-containing complex carbohydrates to that of peroxidase and acid phosphatase. Immature feline primary granules, formed in promyelocytes, were stained for peroxidase, acid phosphatase, sulfate, and vicinal glycols. During maturation, primary granules retained strong staining for peroxidase, but staining for vicinal glycols decreased, and acid phosphatase and sulfate reactivity was lost. Secondary granules formed in myelocytes lacked peroxidase, acid phosphatase, and sulfate staining, but stained intensely for vicinal-glycol-containing complex carbohydrates. No analogues of tertiary granules previously described in rabbits and humans were demonstrated in feline neutrophils. However, a new sequential staining technique for peroxidase and vicinal glycols has suggested the formation in myelocytes and late neutrophils of a third granule type that contained peroxidase, acid phosphatase, and vicinal glycols but lacked sulfate staining. Thus, the staining characteristics of primary and secondary granules in cats closely resembled those in humans and rabbits. The third (late-forming) type of granule has not previously been described in other species. 相似文献
