متن کاملNew applications of the acridine orange fluorescence staining method: Screening for circulating tumor cells
The aim of the present study was to explore use of the acridine orange fluorescence (AO-F) staining method for screening of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. The AO-F positive staining rate of live and dead tumor cells was calculated. The positive staining rate in the live group was 93.4±3.0%, while the dead group failed to emit specific fluorescence. A know...
متن کاملAcridine orange staining for diagnosis of Mycoplasma bovis infection in cow milk.
