چکیده

We briefly outline an algorithm for accurate quantification of specific binding of gold particles to fixed biological tissue samples prepared for immuno-transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The algorithm is based on existing protocols for rational accounting of colloidal gold particles used in secondary antibodies for immuno-gold labeling.

Immuno-gold Labelling of Chlamydia trachomatis

Background Chlamydia trachomatis is considered as an important cause of preventable sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. It is known to be of an obligate intracellular nature and enters its target cells via an endocytic process. As major outer membrane protein (MOMP) is one of the main candidates for the attachment and entry of chlamydia to the host cells we have tried to label the epitopes...

Synthesis and characterization of gold nanoparticles supported on zinc oxide via the deposition-precipitation method

Gold nanoparticles supported on zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized at several pH levels via the deposition-precipitation (DP) method. The effects of pH on gold loading, particle size, and particle size distribution on the support were studied at the iso-electric point (IEP) as well as below and above the IEP of ZnO. The addition of the support significantly changed the pH of the solution...

Synthesis and Functionalization of Gold Nanoparticles by Using of Poly Functional Amino Acids

Synthesis and characterization of two functionalized gold nanoparticles by using of two poly functional amino acids (L-Arginine and L-Aspartic acid) are reported. The gold nanoparticles were reduced by sodium citrate and functionalized with L-Arginine at the pH of 7 and 11 and L-Aspartic acid at the pH of 7. Transmission electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta p...

Short Technical Reports

We describe the use of image software programs available for both PC and Macintosh computers to quantify the accumulation and distribution of gold-labeled constructs within two-dimensional cell sections. The compartmentalization of a biotinylated-peptide was visualized in radiation-induced fibrosarcoma cells by transmission electron microscopy, using a gold particle-streptavidin conjugate. Thi...
