Electron Microscope Radioautography as a Quantitative Tool in Enzyme Cytochemistry
Tritiated diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) was used to phosphorylate acetylcholinesterase (AChase) in the motor end plate of mouse sternomastoid muscle, and its distribution within the end plate was evaluated quantitatively by electron microscope radioautography. With the use of emulsion layers whose sensitivity to tritium had been calibrated, the density of AChase in different components of th...
متن کاملResolution in Electron Microscope Radioautography
Experimental resolution values, half distances (HD), were determined for electron microscope radioautography with (14)C as the source of radioactivity. These were about a factor of 1.5-2 times higher than for tritium. Grain distributions normalized in units of HD were found to fit the "universal" curves previously obtained for tritium.
متن کاملAbsolute Sensitivity of Electron Microscope Radioautography
A calibration method is described for measuring absolute radioautographic sensitivities under various experimental conditions. Sensitivities to (3)H and (35)S radiation, i.e. ratio of developed grains to radioactive decays in the specimen, were determined with Ilford L4 and Kodak NTE emulsions. The highest values obtained in monolayers of emulsion were (1/8) for (3)H and 1/21 for (35)S. The inf...
متن کاملMacromolecular Synthesis in Hepatocyte Mitochondria of Aging Mice as Revealed by Electron Microscopic Radioautography I: Nucleic Acid Synthesis
We studied the aging changes of intramitochondrial nucleic acid synthesis, both DNA and RNA, in hepatocytes of several groups of litter mate mice at various ages, from embryos to postnatal newborn, juvenile, young adults and senescent year 1 and 2, by means of electron microscopic radioautography after the injections with H-thymidine and H-uridine , respectively. From the results, it was found ...
متن کاملProtein Synthesis in the Visual Cells of the Honeybee Drone as Studied with Electron Microscope Radioautography
Protein synthesis was studied in the visual cells of an insect (honeybee drone, Apis mellifera) by electron microscope radioautography. After a single injection of tritiated leucine, the radioactivity first appears in the cytoplasm of the visual cell which contains ribosomes. Later, part of this radioactivity migrates to the rhabdome, the visual cell region which is specialized in light absorpt...
