somatotopic organization of single primary afferent axon projections to cat spinal cord dorsal horn. | horseradish peroxidase injection of identified low threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptor (ltcm) primary afferent axons was used to assess the somatotopic organization of hindlimb projections to laminae iii and iv of cat dorsal horn. multiple injections in the same animals were used to assess bilateral symmetry and precision. thirty-one axons were injected, with more than 1 axon injected in each of 8 animals (25 axons). somatotopic relations between their receptive field (rf) centers and the center ... | 1991 | 1702466 |
chemically distinct compartments of the thalamic vpm nucleus in monkeys relay principal and spinal trigeminal pathways to different layers of the somatosensory cortex. | the ventral posteromedial nucleus (vpm) of the monkey thalamus was investigated with combined immunocytochemical, histochemical, and connection-tracing techniques. injections of anterogradely transported tracers were placed selectively in the caudal nucleus of the spinal trigeminal nuclear complex, and retrogradely transported horseradish peroxidase (hrp) or fluorescent dyes were placed on the surface or into the depths of defined parts of the trigeminal representation in the first somatic senso ... | 1991 | 1702464 |
intraocular projections from the pterygopalatine ganglion in the cat. | the intraocular projection of the cat pterygopalatine (sphenopalatine) ganglion was examined by using retrograde axoplasmic transport techniques in order to investigate the possibility of the involvement of the facial nerve in ocular parasympathetic innervation. following an injection of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) or wheat germ agglutinin-hrp into the eye, retrogradely labeled cells were observed in the ipsilateral pterygopalatine ganglion, principally in the caudal part. by dissection of silv ... | 1990 | 1702452 |
receptor-mediated endocytosis and recycling of alpha-fetoprotein in human b-lymphoma and t-leukemia cells. | the kinetics of iodinated human alpha-fetoprotein (afp) binding and uptake by 2 human neoplastic lymphoid cell lines (cem and raji) have been studied. three saturation plateaus were obtained by incubating cem and raji cells at 4 degrees c with 125i-afp at different concentrations. scatchard analysis suggested the presence of 3 types of receptor site with different affinities and capacities on cells of both lines. afp binding was inhibited by unlabelled human and bovine afp, and to a lesser exten ... | 1991 | 1702404 |
the perihypoglossal projection to the superior colliculus in the rhesus monkey. | the projection of the perihypoglossal (ph) complex to the superior colliculus (sc) in the rhesus monkey was investigated using the retrograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (wga-hrp). following physiological identification by electrical stimulation and multiunit recording, small injections of the tracer were placed within the sc of three monkeys. the largest numbers of retrogradely labeled neurons within the ph complex were found in the contralateral nucl ... | 1990 | 1702314 |
[vestibular efferent neurons of the guinea pig forming projections into the saccule]. | the distribution of vestibular efferent neurons projecting to the saccule and efferent neurons transmitting axons to the acoustic nerve (cochlear efferent neurons) has been studied in guinea pig by comparison using the method of retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase. the saccular efferent neurons are revealed bilaterally in the subendymal granular fundus of the fourth ventricle of the brain and more laterally of the facial nerve genu, ipsilaterally in the small-celled reticular n ... | 1990 | 1702187 |
dendritic morphologies of retinal ganglion cells projecting to the lateral geniculate nucleus in the rabbit. | small injections of fluorescent rhodamine-latex microspheres and fast blue were made into the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dlgn) of fifteen rabbits. after 8-15 day survival times, the somas of projecting ganglion cells were found to be labelled in the contralateral retinas by retrograde transport. the dendritic morphologies of the labelled ganglion cells were revealed by intracellular injection of lucifer yellow or horseradish peroxidase while superfusing the retinas. at least ten distinct ... | 1990 | 1702124 |
terminal arbors of individual, physiologically identified geniculocortical axons in the tree shrew's striate cortex. | we studied the terminal patterns of single, physiologically identified geniculocortical axons in the striate cortex of the tree shrew by using intracellular recording and labeling methods. axons were classified by their response to the onset (on-center) or offset (off-center) of a light stimulus presented to the ipsilateral or contralateral eye. then, we attempted to penetrate each axon for labeling with horseradish peroxidase. we recovered 23 axons and studied 16 of these in detail. light micro ... | 1990 | 1702114 |
the anterior ectosylvian sulcal auditory field in the cat: ii. a horseradish peroxidase study of its thalamic and cortical connections. | the thalamic and cortical projections to acoustically responsive regions of the anterior ectosylvian sulcus were determined by identifying retrogradely labelled cells after physiologically guided iontophoretic injections of horseradish peroxidase. the medial division of the medial geniculate nucleus, the intermediate division of the posterior nuclear group, the principal division of the ventromedial nucleus, and the lateroposterior complex were consistently labelled after these injections, altho ... | 1990 | 1702108 |
topography and synaptology of mamillary body projections to the mesencephalon and pons in the rat. | the anterograde and retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin (wga-hrp) was used to study the anatomical organization of descending projections from the mamillary body (mb) to the mesencephalon and pons at light and electron microscopic levels. injections of wga-hrp into the medial mamillary nucleus resulted in dense anterograde and retrograde labeling in the ventral tegmental nucleus, while injections in the lateral mamillary nucleus resulted in dense an ... | 1990 | 1702105 |
cell death and interocular interactions among retinofugal axons: lack of binocularly matched specificity. | naturally occurring ganglion cell death has been attributed to competitive interactions among axons at their targets during development of the retinofugal pathways. the present study is concerned with the hypothesis that interocular interactions leading to ganglion cell death are restricted to binocularly conjugate terminals in the optic nuclei. we tested this hypothesis in newborn rats by making localized retinal lesions, which denervate a restricted portion of the contralateral optic targets. ... | 1990 | 1702041 |
control of lower esophageal sphincter pressure by two sites in dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus. | our purpose was to determine the central vagal sites for regulating changes in lower esophageal sphincter (les) pressure in the cat. injection of the retrograde tracer, horseradish peroxidase, into the les resulted in labeling of cells in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (dmv), with the largest number of cells appearing in two areas, one area rostral to obex (1.5-4.0 mm) and one area caudal to obex (-0.5 to -1.5 mm). in alpha-chloralose-anesthetized cats, l-glutamic acid was microinjected i ... | 1990 | 1701973 |
calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive nerves in the rat kidney. | cryostat- and vibratome-cut rat kidney secretions were singly or doubly labeled to visualize immunoreactive calcitonin-gene-related peptide (cgrpi) and substance p (spi). rats were perfused with 2-4% paraformaldehyde + 0.15% picric acid then rinsed with buffer. horseradish peroxidase (hrp) was used to visualize cgrp in vibratome sections, and combined hrp and fluorophore were used to visualize the two peptides simultaneously in cryostat sections. there is a complex, multilayered plexus of cgrp n ... | 1991 | 1701958 |
location of the motoneurons innervating the transverse mandibular muscle in the guinea pig. | motoneurons supplying the transverse mandibular muscle (tmm) in the guinea pig have been traced by injecting wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase (wga-hrp) in the tmm, and after applying hrp to the mylohyoid nerve. the tmm is bilaterally innervated by 22-36 motoneurons in each trigeminal motor nucleus, forming a column located ventrolaterally along the entire length of the superficial masseter motoneuron group. the axons are incorporated to the mylohyoid nerve. the location, the axon pat ... | 1990 | 1701867 |
development of the oculomotor and trochlear nuclei in the xenopus toad. | the development of the oculomotor and trochlear nuclei (niii and niv) was studied with the horseradish peroxidase (hrp) and the cobalt labelling techniques in xenopus laevis tadpoles. the earliest labelling of the oculomotor neuroblasts was observed at stage 32. the ipsi- and contralateral nuclei were found in two distinct groups on either side of the brainstem and the oculomotor commissure formed by crossing axons was present at this early stage. the fusion of the two nuclei began at the late l ... | 1990 | 1701864 |
neurochemical anatomy of fetal hippocampus transplanted into large lesion cavities made in the adult rat brain. | the purpose of the present study was to determine whether neurochemicals normally found within neuron somata, fibers, and terminals of the hippocampal formation would also be present in transplanted hippocampal tissue that had developed in lesion cavities made in adult rat brains by aspiration of the hippocampus and overlying dorsolateral neocortex. embryonic day 15 or 16 rat brian tissue containing hippocampus with some medial pallial anlage was transplanted into the site of hippocampal aspirat ... | 1991 | 1701734 |
appearance of retrogradely labeled neurons in the rat superior cervical ganglion after injection of wheat-germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate into the contralateral ganglion. | injection of wheat-germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (wga-hrp) into the superior cervical ganglion (scg) of the rat results in accumulation of wga-hrp in sympathetic postganglionic neurons in the contralateral scg. the sympathetic pathways involved and the mechanism underlying the labeling were investigated. the labeling in neurons in the contralateral scg was apparent 6 h after injection and increased in intensity with longer survival times. the number of labeled neurons reached ... | 1990 | 1701690 |
competitive elisa for the measurement of tau protein in alzheimer's disease. | tau protein is a major component of paired helical filaments (phfs) which constitute the characteristic neurofibrillary tangle lesions observed in alzheimer's disease. two tau mabs have been produced which show distinct patterns of immunoreactivity with intact human tau and with tau incorporated in phfs. the mab 423 recognises phfs but not human tau on immunoblots whereas mab 7/51 reacts with human tau but its epitope is buried within the phf and is only exposed after formic acid treatment. a co ... | 1990 | 1701471 |
experiments on the use of damp to study retina and cultured neurons. | immunocytochemical localization of damp, a reagent used to detect low ph intracellular compartments, was studied in cultured neurons from rat hippocampus and in frog retinas. we find that damp is more sharply localized and that the immunocytochemical reaction is stronger when horseradish peroxidase or other proteins are included in the medium used to administer damp to the cells. a likely explanation is that the proteins enter acidified endocytic compartments and there provide sites to which dam ... | 1990 | 1701464 |
novel and sensitive noncompetitive (two-site) immunoassay for haptens with emphasis on peptides. | a novel and sensitive noncompetitive (two-site) enzyme immunoassay is described to measure attomole amounts of haptens, especially small peptides, which cannot be bound simultaneously by two different antibodies directed to the corresponding two different epitopes on the hapten molecules; consequently, they cannot be measured by the conventional two-site immunoassays. the principle of the assay is to label haptens to be measured with an appropriate substance, so that the hapten molecule can be b ... | 1990 | 1701368 |
in the rat medial nucleus accumbens, hippocampal and catecholaminergic terminals converge on spiny neurons and are in apposition to each other. | the nucleus accumbens septi (acb) represents an interface between limbic and motor systems and a site for modulation of these integrative functions by ascending catecholaminergic, principally dopaminergic, axons. this modulatory regulation is most likely attributed to pre- or postsynaptic associations between limbic telencephalic and brainstem afferents. in the present investigation, we examined the ultrastructure and synaptic associations of hippocampal afferents, as well as their relation to c ... | 1990 | 1701338 |
a different type of vertebrate thalamic organization. | the presence of a reptilian thalamic reticular nucleus was investigated in caiman crocodilus. injections of horseradish peroxidase made into the dorsal thalamus produced retrogradely labeled neurons in the nucleus of the dorsal peduncle of the lateral forebrain bundle. a separate population of thalamic neurons located in the nucleus of the dorsal peduncle of the lateral forebrain bundle with morphology different from those neurons projecting to the dorsal thalamus were found to be immunoreactive ... | 1990 | 1701334 |
origin of infrasound sensitive neurones in the papilla basilaris of the pigeon: an hrp study. | infrasound sensitive afferent fibres recorded in the pigeon cochlear ganglion were marked by intracellular injections of horseradish peroxidase (hrp). all stained fibres were found to innervate hair cells in the basilar membrane between 90 and 950 microns from its apical end. no fibres to the macula lagenae were found. nine of the 10 completely stained fibres contacted hair cells located abneurally on the free basilar membrane, the tenth ended over the neural limbus near its abneural border. all ... | 1990 | 1701169 |
targeted killing of yeast expressing a hiv-1 peptide by antibody-conjugated glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase. | the epitope recognized by monoclonal antibody directed against the hiv-1 recombinant gp160 protein was precisely delineated by using a number of peptides comprising amino acid positions 302-330 of the protein. two different enzymes, glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase, were then coupled to distinct antibody molecules and the efficacy of the immunoenzymes in killing yeast cells which express the recognized peptide was evaluated by flow cytometry analysis. the antibody-glucose oxidase conju ... | 1990 | 1701163 |
somatotopic organization in the sensory innervation of the rat hindlimb during development, using half dorsal root ganglia as subsegmental units. | the aim of the present study was to determine the somatotopy of the sensory innervation of the rat hindlimb at the level of the dorsal root ganglia (drgs) during the fetal and postnatal period. injections of wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase (wga-hrp) were made into the hindlimb of fetal and postnatal rats. these injections result in completely and partially labeled drgs. partial labeling always concerns the rostral or caudal half of a drg. using half drgs as subsegmental units, a des ... | 1990 | 1700920 |
pharmacokinetics of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor studied in the rat by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhg-csf) in rat serum was developed using anti-rhg-csf fab'-horseradish peroxidase conjugate. this assay method measured rhg-csf in rat serum with greater sensitivity than a bioassay. also, a good agreement between enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and bioassay was observed with rat serum samples after administration of rhg-csf. the pharmacokinetics of rhg-csf were investi ... | 1990 | 1700818 |
projections from the lateral geniculate nucleus to the hypothalamus of the mongolian gerbil (meriones unguiculatus): an anterograde and retrograde tracing study. | the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus sends efferents to the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus, which is involved in generation and entrainment of several circadian rhythms. it seems reasonable to believe that the lateral geniculate conveys visual information about the length of the photoperiod to the circadian oscillator. in order to study in more detail the topographical relationship between the lateral geniculate and the suprachiasmatic nucleus, anterograde tracing with phaseolus ... | 1990 | 1700802 |
hypothalamic galanin-immunoreactive neurons projecting to the posterior lobe of the rat pituitary: a combined retrograde tracing and immunohistochemical study. | to identify the galanin-immunoreactive neurons projecting to the posterior lobe of the pituitary in the rat hypothalamus, a retrograde tracer (complex of wheat germ agglutinin-enzymatically inactive horseradish peroxidase-colloidal gold) was injected into the posterior lobe of the pituitary. sections of the hypothalamus were treated with a combination of silver enhancement of retrogradely transported tracer and immunohistochemistry of galanin. of the total number of hypothalamic cells doubly lab ... | 1990 | 1700801 |
changes in glycoconjugates revealed by lectin staining in the developing airways of syrian golden hamsters. | lectin binding was studied in the developing airways of syrian golden hamsters on gestational days 11-16 (day 16 is the day of birth). the trachea and lungs were fixed in 4% formaldehyde-1% glutaraldehyde, 6% mercuric chloride-1% sodium acetate-0.1% glutaraldehyde, and 95% ethanol; embedded in paraffin; and stained with eight lectin-horseradish peroxidase conjugates: triticum vulgare (wga), dolichos biflorus (dba), helix pomatia (hpa), maclura pomifera (mpa), griffonia simplicifolia i-b4 (gsa i- ... | 1990 | 1700650 |
central distribution of the stapedius motoneurons in the rat--a study of topographical anatomy and hrp transport experiments. | a detailed anatomical description of the stapedius muscle area in the rat was given and on this basis the central distribution of the neurons innervating the stapedius muscle was investigated by the horseradish peroxidase transport method. the stapedius muscle showed a circum-pennate structure with a para-centrally located tendon and was composed of about 500 muscle fibers. it contained no special sensory structures and was innervated by a single branch of the facial nerve consisting of myelinat ... | 1990 | 1700571 |
[immunoenzyme method of determination of human alpha2-macroglobulin]. | highly sensitive, specific immunoenzymatic assay for human alpha 2-macroglobulin was developed using solid phase "sandwich" procedure. the immunoenzymatic assay developed involved the following steps: 1. preparation of highly purified alpha 2-macroglobulin, 2. production of monospecific antiserum against the protein, 3. preparation of the immunoenzymatic assay system components--isolation of antibodies against alpha 2-macroglobulin, conjugation of these antibodies with horseradish peroxidase, st ... | 1990 | 1700548 |
ultrastructural evidence of synaptic contacts between substance p-, enkephalin-, and serotonin-immunoreactive terminals and retrogradely labeled sympathetic preganglionic neurons in the rat: a study using a double-peroxidase procedure. | a double-peroxidase procedure was used to study the ultrastructural relationships between terminals and fibers containing three putative neurotransmitters and retrogradely identified sympathetic preganglionic neurons (spns) located in the intermediolateral cell column (iml) of the rat. spns with axons in the cervical sympathetic trunk were retrogradely labeled with horseradish peroxidase. in addition, terminals and fibers containing substance p, enkephalin, and serotonin were detected using immu ... | 1990 | 1700484 |
direct projections of non-pyramidal neurons of ammon's horn to the amygdala and the entorhinal cortex. | when wga-hrp (wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate) was injected into the amygdala (lateral and basolateral amygdaloid nuclei) or entorhinal cortex of the cat, a number of nonpyramidal neurons in ammon's horn were retrogradely labeled. the results indicate that some non-pyramidal neurons in ammon's horn send projection fibers to the amygdala and entorhinal cortex. | 1990 | 1700341 |
direct projections from the globus pallidus to the inferior colliculus in the rat. | a retrograde and anterograde wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase (wga-hrp) study in the rat indicated that some neurons in the globus pallidus (gp) sent their axons ipsilaterally to the inferior colliculus (ic). these neuronal cell bodies were located in the ventrolateral portions of the caudal part of the gp, and their axons were distributed mainly in the peripheral region of the external cortex of the ic. | 1990 | 1700339 |
quantification of acute phase proteins in rat serum and in the supernatants of a cultured rat hepatoma cell line and cultured primary hepatocytes by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) has been developed to measure acute phase reactants (aprs) in rat serum. rat aprs of alpha 2-macroglobulin, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (agp), haptoglobin (hp), haemopexin (hpx), cysteine protease inhibitor (cpi), albumin (alb) and transferrin (tf) were purified from the plasma of turpentine treated rats. fab' fragments from each igg fraction were labelled with horseradish peroxidase (pod) by the maleimide method and the assay was performed using a sand ... | 1990 | 1700017 |
single fiber studies of ascending input to the cuneate nucleus of cats: ii. postsynaptic afferents. | the morphology of single postsynaptic afferent fibers terminating in the feline cuneate nucleus was investigated by using transport of phasolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin from the cervical spinal cord and intraaxonal injections of horseradish peroxidase into identified postsynaptic fibers in the cuneate fasciculus. injections of phaseolus in c5 and c6 of both rhizotomized and non-rhizotomized cats gave similar results and confirmed previous observations with other techniques. in one animal with th ... | 1990 | 1699979 |

synaptic organization of tectal-facial pathways in cat. ii. synaptic potentials following midbrain tegmentum stimulation. | 1. the organization of the synaptic pathways underlying midbrain tegmentum influence over the facial musculature was studied with the use of an acute electrophysiological approach in the cat. under pentobarbital sodium anesthesia, synaptic potentials were recorded intracellularly in antidromically identified facial motoneurons following electrical stimulation of the paralemniscal zone. the cells of origin and the pathways responsible for the potentials evoked from the paralemniscal zone were def ... | 1990 | 1698936 |
o-antigen biotin conjugates. preparation and use in direct competitive enzyme immunoassays. | bacterial o-antigens coupled to biotin were shown to function well as labelled antigens in direct enzyme immunoassay. o-polysaccharides released from lipopolysaccharides by mild acid hydrolysis were oxidized by sodium periodate at sites located within the lipopolysaccharide inner core region and the generated aldehyde groups were subjected to reductive amination with 1,3-diaminopropane to yield per-aminated o-polysaccharide derivatives. biotin was coupled to the introduced amino groups by way of ... | 1990 | 1698876 |
lateral magnocellular thalamic nucleus in rabbits: architecture and projections to cingulate cortex. | the lateral magnocellular nucleus (lm) contains the largest neurons in the rabbit thalamus, yet its cortical connections have not been described. this study evaluates the architecture, cingulate cortical connections, and spontaneous rate of neuronal discharges in lm. at its maximal mediolateral extent in coronal sections, lm underlies the laterodorsal and lateroposterior nuclei. it has a short medial and long lateral limb, both of which have high levels of cytochrome oxidase activity. on the bas ... | 1990 | 1698839 |
neuronal connections between the cerebellar nuclei and hypothalamus in macaca fascicularis: cerebello-visceral circuits. | the purpose of this study was to identify the basic pattern of interconnections between the cerebellar nuclei and hypothalamus in macaca fascicularis. the distribution of retrogradely labeled cells and anterogradely filled cerebellofugal axons in the hypothalamus of m. fascicularis was investigated after pressure injections of a horseradish peroxidase mixture (hrp + wga-hrp) in the cerebellar nuclei. following injections in the lateral, anterior, and posterior interposed cerebellar nuclei retrog ... | 2006 | 1698835 |
fine structure of the lateral mammillary projection to the dorsal tegmental nucleus of gudden in the rat. | the synaptic organization of projections from the lateral mammillary neurons within the dorsal tegmental nucleus of gudden is studied in the rat with the aid of anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase conjugated with wheat germ agglutinin (wga-hrp) and visualized with tetramethylbenzidine. the dorsal tegmental nucleus consists of the pars ventralis (tdv) and the pars dorsalis (tdd). the normal neuropil of the dorsal tegmental nucleus contains three classes of axodendritic terminals, that ... | 1990 | 1698833 |
peripheral and central terminations of hypoglossal afferents innervating lingual tactile mechanoreceptor complexes in fringillidae. | injections of cholera toxin b subunit conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (ctb-hrp) were made into the lingual branch of the hypoglossal nerve in four species of finch in order to identify the innervation of the mechanoreceptors of the dermal papillae of the tongue, and simultaneously to determine the pattern of central projections of lingual hypoglossal afferents. the results showed that hypoglossal fibers innervate all the herbst corpuscles and terminal cell receptors of the elaborately organ ... | 1990 | 1698831 |
corticocortical connections predict patches of stimulus-evoked metabolic activity in monkey somatosensory cortex. | stimulus-evoked metabolic activity in the anterior parietal cortex (areas 3a, 3b, 1, and 2) occurs in the form of column-like patches. similar patches characterize the connections to, within, and from these fields. the relation of the patches elicited metabolically to those formed by retrograde or anterograde transport, however, is not clear. if a type of projection connecting areas 3a, 3b, 1, and 2 transmits sensory information among these cortical fields, the resultant projection pattern may d ... | 1990 | 1698827 |
development of the lateral geniculate nucleus: interactions between retinal afferent, cytoarchitectonic, and glial cell process lamination in ferrets and tree shrews. | we have studied the relationship of retinal afferents, glial cell processes, and neuronal cytoarchitectonics in the lateral geniculate nucleus (lgn) of two species: tree shrews (tupaia belangeri) and ferrets (mustela putoris). both species are relatively immature at birth, allowing the development of these features to be studied in the perinatal period. retinal afferents, visualized by intraocular injection of a wheat germ agglutinin/horseradish peroxidase conjugate (wga-hrp), are apparently the ... | 1990 | 1698826 |
a practical approach to routine immunostaining of paraffin sections in the microwave oven. | the streptavidin-biotin complex (sabc) immunostaining method can be carried out by performing the rinsing and blocking steps and in addition the incubation with the primary and the secondary antibody sera in the microwave oven. irradiation of the streptavidin-biotin complex reduces stain activity due to destruction of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) (boon & kok, 1988). therefore, we decided not to perform this step in the microwave oven. the microwave incubations can be performed using antisera dil ... | 2006 | 1698750 |
background-protein effects on fluorophotometric data. | fluorescent tracers are commonly used in fluorophotometric studies of ocular fluids and tissues that contain background protein. background-protein concentrations were found to decrease or increase significantly the measure of fluorescence emitted from solutions containing sodium fluorescein, fluorescein-labeled dextran, or fluorescein-labeled horseradish peroxidase. the effect of background protein on fluorescence was expressed as a function of the specific fluorescent tracer, tracer concentrat ... | 2005 | 1698738 |
epitope mapping of horseradish peroxidase with use of monoclonal antibodies. | nine mouse monoclonal antibodies (mabs) to horseradish peroxidase (hrp) were used to develop an epitope map of the enzyme. the results of a competitive binding assay indicated three distinct patterns of reactivity. two groups of mabs (i and iii) recognized epitopes located in separate antigenic regions on the molecule; another (ii) bound to sites that overlapped with epitopes in either region i or iii. further definition of these regions was obtained by analyzing the mabs for their binding to is ... | 1990 | 1698707 |
nonradioactive in situ nick translation combined with counterstaining: characterization of c-band and silver positive regions in mouse testicular cells. | the dnase i sensitivity of three different chromatin regions in mouse testicular cells was analysed by in situ nick translation with biotin-dutp combined with various counterstaining techniques. the regions were: (i) the constitutive centromeric heterochromatin, (ii) an interstitial c-band positive insertion on chromosome 1, is(hsr1;c5)1lub, and (iii) the chromatin containing rdna (designated nucleolar chromatin herein). incorporated biotin was detected either by the horseradish peroxidase react ... | 1990 | 1698589 |
maturation of projections from occipital cortex to the ventrolateral geniculate and superior colliculus in postnatal hamsters. | the development of corticofugal axons from the posterior cortex of young (ages p3-p11, p15 and p22) and adult syrian hamsters was investigated by anterograde axonal transport of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (wga-hrp). on p3 and p4, 30 h after tracer was deposited in the cortex, the hrp reaction product was observed in the dorsal nucleus of the lateral geniculate body and in the lateral posterior nucleus of the thalamus, but no labeled axons were observed in the vent ... | 1990 | 1698573 |
