Immunohistochemical Localization of Amylase
نویسنده
چکیده
An immunohistochemical localization of amylase was demonstrated in human pancreatic acinar cells using a commercial anti-human pancreatic amylase antibody. The immunofluorescence was mainly localized in the cell apices, and some differences in the intensity of the fluorescence was observed among the acinar cells in respect to their location from the islets of Langerhans. The peri-insular acinar cells showed a brighter fluorescence than the cells of tele-insular acini. This inhomogeneity of pancreatic amylase distribution in the human exocrine pancreas adds a further clue to the concept of insulo-acinar interaction.

Enzymic Mechanism of Starch Breakdown in Germinating Rice Seeds: 8. Immunohistochemical Localization of beta-Amylase.
Rabbit antiserum against beta-amylase isolated from germinating seeds of rice was produced, and its specific cross-reactivity with beta-amylase was confirmed by means of Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis procedures. The cellular localization of beta-amylase was studied by indirect fluorescence microscopy of thin sectioned germinating rice seed specimens (1-day stage) ...

a-Amylase was localized in aleurone cells of barley using immunohistochemical methods. Anti-a-amylase antibody was produced by rabbits immunized with enzyme purified from malt diastase and Himalaya variety barley seeds. Immunoelectrophoresis showed that the antibodies to both antigens were immunologically similar, therefore, they were used interchangeably in the localization of a-amylase. Fluor...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Localization of Ghrelin in Testicular Tissues of Holstein Bulls
Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid acylated peptide, was identified as the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor and its role in reproduction has recently been established. It is believed that the site of ghrelin expression in testes may indicate its role in local regulation. This study investigated the immunohistochemical (IHC) localization of ghrelin in Holstein bull testi...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to determine Oxytocin receptor (OTR) gene expression and localization in diabetic and non-diabetic mouse testes by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Materials and Methods: In this study, 18 male BALB/c mice (8–12 weeks old) were used and divided into three groups: diabetic, sham, and control. Streptozotocin (STZ) was applied to the diabetic g...
متن کاملalpha-Amylase in resectable lung cancer.
Biochemical analysis and immunohistochemical techniques support the theory that hyperamylasaemia in lung cancer is due to amylase production in carcinoma cells. The vast majority of amylase-producing carcinomas are adenocarcinomas with amylase isoenzyme similar to the salivary type. This prospective study assesses alpha-amylase expression in resectable lung cancer. Seventy four patients with re...
