چکیده
01W AND GRONWALL (1) [N 1952 first applied the histochemical method of Hotchkiss for staining carbohydrates. In principle the polysaccharides are oxidized by periodic acid to give polyaldehydes, which yield violet-red compounds with Schiff ‘s reagent, fuchsin sulfite. K#{246}iw’s procedure, although giving excellent results when the glycoprotein was separated electrophoretically on filter paper of the Whatman #1 type, failed to give satisfactory patterns with low background and permanency when the procedure was applied to slightly heavier papers of the Whatman 3MM type. Bj#{246}rnesj#{246} (2) in 1955 studied the K#{246}iw procedure in detail, using thin filter paper support, and showed that galactose, mannose, and glucosamine all gave about the same intensity of color. As these compounds constitute the main polysaccharide components of the glycoproteins, it was evident that changes in ratios of the components in the various glycoproteins would not affect seriously the validity of the periodic acidstaining technic for evaluating the relative amounts of polysaccharide in the various proteins of an electrophoretic pattern. We have standardized our protein electrophoretic work with the Spinco system using Whatman 3MM paper, and it was thought that

Histochemical Studies on Mucoproteins in Nerve Cells of the Dog
Autonomic and sensory ganglion cells in the senile dog contain a deposition of PAS-positive substances which has been shown to be mucoprotein in nature. Data are presented to show that this PAS-positive mucoprotein can be demonstrated by metachromatic staining with toluidine blue after the mucoprotein is sulfated. This procedure indicates that mucoprotein is also present in a granular form in a...
متن کاملThe use of non-deparaffinized tissue sections for staining leprosy bacilli.
Reduced acid-fast staining of leprosy bacilli occurs during the dewaxing of paraffin sections by xylene and alcohols; the older and more decrepit bacilli being especially affected. By the use of non-deparaffinized sections, the leprosy bacilli which could not be stained with the usual carbol fuchsin are strongly stained. Moreover, non-deparafinized sections can be used for the periodic acid-car...
متن کاملApplication of periodic acid-Schiff type stains to bacteria in milk.
The use of periodic acid oxidation followed by treatment with Schiff's reagent as a method for staining polysaccharides was first reported briefly by McManus (1946) and later in some detail by Hotchkiss (1948). Hotchkiss did not find the procedure particularly satisfactory for bacteria, but considered that it worked very well with many other polysaccharide materials. Despite the poor results re...
متن کاملInterferon: purification and initial characterization from human diploid cells.
Interferon produced by human diploid fibroblast cells in culture has been purified approximately 5000-fold. The purified interferon, when analyzed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel containing sodium dodecyl sulfate, contains only one polypeptide component of 20,000 molecular weight. The interferon activity comigrates with this polypeptide, indicating identity of the activity and the poly...

The aim of the present study was morphological and histochemical analysis of the lacrimalgland (LG) in African black ostrich Struthio camelus domesticus in the embryonic and postnatalperiod. Studies were conducted on 50 ostriches aged between the 28th day of incubation until7 months old. Tissue sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin, Azan trichrome,periodic acid-Schiff, Alcian blue p...
