Studies on Vital Staining

چکیده

When large amounts of brilliant vital red are injected into the blood stream of dogs, the dye is gradually removed from circulation, and most of it is deposited in numerous phagocytic cells which are scattered throughout various organs and tissues. The dye occurs largely in the form of tiny red granules crowded together in the cytoplasm of these cells. If Niagara sky blue, a closely related dyestuff, is injected, it too is taken up and stored in these same cells. It is shown that the presence of red dye in the tissues does not inhibit the cells from taking up the blue one. The normal ability of the phagocytes to take up Niagara sky blue is observed also when this dye is injected simultaneously with brilliant vital red. This normal response toward the blue dye is seen even though the phagocytes are busied at the same time in the process of engulfing and storing the red dye. These experiments show that it is difficult if not impossible to "block" the cells with one dye so that their ability to take up another is even slightly impaired. The two dyes employed in these studies are shown to be particularly suitable for experiments of the sort here reported.

بررسی مقایسه ای شدت رنگ پذیری مارکر p63 برش های مجدد (Recut) با برش های رنگ زدایی شده (Destained) نمونه بیماران مبتلا به سرطان ریه

Background and purpose: Several studies have been carried out on re-cut and de-stained sections regarding prostate biopsies and cytologic specimens of squamous cell carcinoma. However, few studies on lung biopsy are done. Due to small size of lung biopsies and for the prevention of lung rebiopsy, in this study P63 staining intensity between re-cut and de-stained slides of patients, specimens ...

Differential vital staining of normal fibroblasts and melanoma cells by an anionic conjugated polyelectrolyte.

Molecular probes for imaging of live cells are of great interest for studying biological and pathological processes. The anionic luminescent conjugated polythiophene (LCP) polythiophene acetic acid (PTAA), has previously been used for vital staining of cultured fibroblasts as well as transformed cells with results indicating differential staining due to cell phenotype. Herein, we investigated t...

A new technique for the vital staining of the corneal endothelium.

A new technique for the staining of the corneal endothelium combines the actions of the vital stain trypan blue and the intercellular stain alizarin red S. The technique is an improvement over former staining methods, because it defines both viable and nonviable cells and thereby permits an investigator to accurately quantify endothelial cell damage.

Vital staining of Mycoplasma and L-forms with Chlorazol Black E.

Vital staining of Mycoplasma colonies was attempted because other dye visualization techniques kill the organisms and preclude reisolation for further studies. The lipophilic amphoteric dye Chlorazol Black E (CBE) was the most successful of 14 vital dyes tested on Mycoplasma hominis, M. pharyngis, M. fermentans, M. arthritidis, M. salivarium, M. pneumoniae, and L-forms of Staphylococcus aureus ...

The Ability of GSM Mobile Phone Users in Detecting Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields and the Bioeffects of These Fields on their Vital Signs

Background & Aims: Since previous studies on complications resulting from exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phones are based only on self- reported symptoms, this study was performed to find the capability of users in recognition of real/ sham microwave exposure and probable alterations of vital signs after microwave exposure. Methods: In a two- step screening, from 700 stude...
