The histological differentiation of neuronal from glial nuclei may be useful in the identification of tumours and in the study of developing nervous tissues. The following method does this by staining the glial nucleus red and the neuronal nucleus green. It also stains other structures in the neural parenchyma. Formol-fixed tissues taken down to water and embedded in paraffin are used. 1 The se...

Surface material, cytoplasmic filaments, and intercellular junctions of an untransformed normal rat kidney (NRK) cell line were compared to those of NRK cells transformed by a nonproductive mouse sarcoma virus and to NRK cells transformed by productive mouse sarcoma virus. Surface material was visualized by ruthenium red (RR) or by staining glycol methacrylate sections with acidic phosphotungst...

This study primarily addresses the development of dynamic, selective and economical metal–acid (bifunctional) catalysts for one-pot menthol production by citral hydrogenation. Specifically, various metals such as Pd, Pt, Ni, Cs Sn were doped over alumina support. Additionally, bifunctional composite also prepared with impregnation heteropoly acids Pd precursors Analytical techniques (e.g., BET,...

This work reports a straightforward and high-yielding synthesis of alkyl levulinates (ALs), class promising biofuel, renewable solvent, chemical feedstock origin. ALs were prepared by the acid-catalyzed esterification levulinic acid (LA) alcoholysis carbohydrate-derived platforms, such as furfuryl alcohol (FAL) α-angelica lactone (α-AGL). Phosphotungstic (PTA) was chosen solid catalyst for tran...

The purpose of this study was to enhance the sensitivity of the Western blot (WB) test for use as an alternative and confirmatory method for the diagnosis of scrapie and chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Canada by comparing 2 sample preparation procedures: an abnormal prion protein (PrPSc) concentration procedure using sodium phosphotungstic acid (PTA) precipitation and a procedure using crude s...
