Alternate gram staining technique using a fluorescent lectin.
Fluorescence-labeled wheat germ agglutinin binds specifically to N-acetylglucosamine in the outer peptidoglycan layer of gram-positive bacteria. The peptidoglycan layer of gram-negative bacteria is covered by a membrane and is not labeled by the lectin. By exploiting this phenomenon, an alternative Gram staining technique has been developed.

متن کاملRapid lipid-staining procedure for paper electrophoretograms.
Paper electrophoresisiswidely used in clinicalmedicine as a screening test for hyperlipidemia. It is a simple, reproducible procedure, but requires 36 h to complete. Aliquota of sera are electrophoresed 16-18 h, paper strips are dried for 30 mm, followedby overnightstaining(1, 2). Recently it was reported that stainingtime could be decreased to 2 h by using Oil Red 0 stain in acetone-water solv...
متن کاملBronchoalveolar lavage: a standardized procedure or a technical dilemma?
