Modifying Polyacrylamide Background Color for the Nitroblue Tetrazolium-Based Superoxide Dismutase Staining Assay
The reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium by superoxide radicals generated from photo-reactive riboflavin has been in use for more than four decades to detect superoxide dismutase (SOD) on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels. SOD research in medicine and biochemistry has warranted the development of multiple assay variants to overcome specific experimental constraints or to combine the SOD assay wit...
متن کاملMechanism of fructosamine assay: evidence against role of superoxide as intermediate in nitroblue tetrazolium reduction.
We studied the chemistry of the fructosamine assay for glycated serum proteins by using the model Amadori compound N alpha-formyl-N epsilon-fructoselysine (fFL), an analog of glycated lysine residues in protein. Free lysine was formed at approximately 70% yield during a standard 20-min incubation of fFL with alkaline nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) at 37 degrees C. Although superoxide dismutase (SO...
متن کاملNitroblue tetrazolium reduction. False positive and false negative results.
Quantitative and histochemical nitroblue with polycythemia vera and neoplasia astetrazolium reduction (NBT) tests were persociated with fever, as well as in those with formed on leukocytes of 13 patients with known bacterial infection. It is suggested polycythemia vera, seven with chronic that patients with neoplasia or polycygranulocytic leukemia, eight with neothemia vera may show a false pos...
متن کاملLysozyme activity and nitroblue-tetrazolium reduction in leukaemic cells.
The cytochemical methods for lysozyme and nitroblue-tetrazolium reduction have been used to study the blast cells of acute myeloid leukaemia. Both proved useful in characterizing the cases with predominant monocytic differentiation. THE DEMONSTRATION OF LYSOZYME ACTIVITY HELPED TO DEFINE TWO MAIN GROUPS: (a) with predominantly lysozyme-negative cells (myeloblastic-promyelocytic), and (b) with c...
متن کاملThe reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium by total blood in periodontitis patients and the aged.
UNLABELLED Experimental data have demonstrated that impaired antioxidant capacity is associated with increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. ROS can cause inactivation of critical enzymes and induce denaturation that renders proteins nonfunctional. Total blood is continuously exposed to oxidative stress. The aim of the current study was to investigate the reduction of nitr...
