a simple device for pressure injections of horseradish peroxidase into small central neurones. | 1978 | 359104 | |
use of horseradish peroxidase to block nonspecific enzyme uptake in immunoperoxidase microscopy. | intrinsic tissue peroxidase activity can be more or less successfully destroyed by methanol-h2o2 treatment. it has been found, however, in our laboratory that horseradish peroxidase (hrp) coupled to antibody will bind to some tissue components on a nonspecific basis and remain to take part in the histochemical stain. this contributes considerably to the background. this difficulty can be largely overcome if the tissues are pretreated with a solution of horseradish peroxidase which binds with non ... | 1978 | 357648 |
a morphologic and permeability study of luminal smooth muscle cells after arterial injury in the rat. | in the carotid air drying model of arterial endothelial injury in the stressed rat, endothelium does not always regenerate over the zone of intimal thickening; instead, a layer of modified smooth muscle cells appears to form a temporary luminal surface. we examined the properties of these luminal smooth muscle cells in injured right carotid arteries from stressed rats at intervals up to 2 months by light, scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopy. before perfusion fixation, selecte ... | 1978 | 355725 |
histochemical differentiation of complex carbohydrates with variants of the concanavalin a-horseradish peroxidase method. | various treatments carried out prior to the concanavalin a-horseradish perioxidase (hrp) method have been found to affect the staining and have permitted differentiation of three main classes of complex carbohydrates in the rat alimentary tract. class i mucosubstances lose and class ii and iii paradoxically gain concanavalin a-horseradish peroxidase reactivity after periodate oxidation. class ii mucosubstances lose whereas class iii retain or increase their reactivity with a reduction step inter ... | 1978 | 351046 |
characterization of various nervous tissues of the chick embryos through responses to chronic application and immunocytochemistry of beta-bungarotoxin. | beta-bungarotoxin (beta-bt) was applied to chick embryos at 3-day intervals beginning on the fourth day of incubation to investigate ultrastructurally the effects of chronically and massively applied beta-bt on various nervous tissues and muscles. on the twenty-first day of incubation, spinal cords of beta-bt treated embryos were conspicuously decreased in size. ventral root fibers dorsal root fibers, white matter, and motor neurons disappeared. although spinal ganglia and sympathetic trunk gang ... | 1978 | 350914 |
cerebellar afferent projections from the vestibular nuclei in the cat: an experimental study with the method of retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase. | details of cerebellar afferent projections from the vestibular nuclei were investigated by the method of retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) in the cat. the distribution of labeled cells in the vestibular nuclei following hrp injections in various parts of the cerebellum indicates that vestibular neurons in the medial and descending nuclei and cell groups f and x project bilaterally to the entire cerebellar vermis, the flocculus, the fastigal nucleus and the anterior and ... | 1978 | 350598 |
brain stem neurons projecting to neocortex: a hrp study in the cat. | the cortical projections of the brain stem were investigated in detail in the cat by means of the horseradish peroxidase (hrp) retrograde axonal transport. most of the cells providing ascending fibers to the neocortex were located in the pons (locus coerulus and related structures, central gray substance, dorsal tegmental nucleus, raphe nuclei, reticular nuclei); labeled neurons were also identified in the mesencephalon, mainly in the periaqueductal gray and in the nucleus linearis rostralis. th ... | 1978 | 350597 |

absorption of horseradish peroxidase by neonatal pig intestinal epithelium: effect of escherichia coli (055b5) on absorption. | the pathway of macromolecular transport through the neonatal pig small intestinal epithelium was examined, utilizing the cytochemical marker horseradish peroxidase (hrp). the marker was found adsorbed to the apical microvillous of the enterocytes, within apical tubules, and cytoplasmic vacuoles. extracellular absorbed marker assumed a spherical appearance within the subepithelial spaces but was dispersed within the capillary lumens. uptake of hrp into the enterocyte occurred in 48-hour old neona ... | 1977 | 335926 |
studies on translocation of immunoglobulins across intestinal epithelium. iv. evidence for binding of iga and igm to secretory component in intestinal epithelium. | we conducted studies concerning the issue of whether secretory component (sc) is a specific receptor on intestinal epithelial cells for iga and igm. initially, frozen sections of human intestinal mucosa were incubated with dimeric monoclonal human iga, conjugated to horseradish peroxidase; adjacent sections were reacted with peroxidase-conjugated antibodies to sc. the conjugated iga and anti-sc bound to similar sites in the epithelium, that is to basolateral margins and supranuclear cytoplasm of ... | 1977 | 334623 |
uptake of horseradish peroxidase by geniculo-cortical axons in the golden hamster: analysis by computer reconstruction. | micro-injections of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) were made into the visual cortex of the golden hamster. the "projection lines" of labelled neurons in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (lgnd) were three-dimensionally reconstructed, using a computer graphics technique. the lines run rostrally and medially from their origins at the lateral surface of the nucleus. using an anatomically determined retinotopic map of the lgnd, the positions of all labelled cells near the lateral surface were conv ... | 1977 | 334561 |
development of an enzyme-linked receptor assay (era) for hcg. | an enzyme-linked receptor assay (era) for hcg was developed using horseradish peroxidase. the 1,500 g pellets, interstitial cell fraction, and solubilized homogenate from the rat testis linked to tanned sheep red blood cells (srbc) were used as the binding fractions for hcg. in these era systems, the limit of detection for hcg was 30 iu/l (3-12 miu/tube), which was almost equal to that of radio receptor assay (rra). the era using srbc linked solubilized receptor fraction showed the most satisfac ... | 1977 | 334520 |
the blood-brain barrier to horseradish peroxidase under normal and experimental conditions. | this review paper deals with the transport of the protein tracer horseradish peroxidase across cerebral vessels under normal and various experimental conditions. electronmicroscopical investigations have revealed that, under normal conditions, a minor vesicular transfer of intravenously injected peroxidase occurs across the endothelium in segments of arterioles, capillaries and venules, especially in arterioles with a diameter about 15-30 mu. this normally occurring vesicular transport is suscep ... | 1977 | 333857 |
a specific enzymeimmunoassay for progesterone in human plasma. | an enzymeimmunoassay for plasma progesterone was established using progesterone covalently linked to the enzyme, horseradish peroxidase, as the 'label'. separation of free and bound steroid was effected by sepharose-coupled antiprogesterone-11alpha-hemisuccinyl bovine serum albumin antiserum (sepharose-antisera). the enzymeimmunoassay satisfied the normal criteria of specificity, precision and accuracy. comparison of assay results obtained by radioimmunoassay (with and without thin-layer chromat ... | 1977 | 333666 |
evaluation of some of the parameters of the enzyme-linked immunospecific assay. | in an attempt to standardize the procedure for the enzyme-linked immunospecific assay, several parameters were examined. it was determined that horseradish peroxidase was the enzyme of choice and that several brands of polystyrene tubes and plates could be used. the test was considerably shortened by omitting long incubation steps previously used for eliminating background fixation of conjugate. the reproducibility of the procedure proved to be excellent, but reactivity curves indicated that use ... | 1977 | 333043 |
immune complex receptors on cell surfaces. iii. topography of macrophage receptors demonstrated by new scanning electron microscopic peroxidase marker. | receptors for immune complexes have been localized on rabbit alveolar macrophages with scanning electron microscopy by exposing the cells first to a soluble immune complex composed of horseradish peroxidase and antibody to horseradish peroxidase, and then incubating with a benzidine-containing substrate that yields crystalline reaction product. receptors were visualized by this means as sites of attachment of laminated slender crystals that were easily distinguished from macrophage surface struc ... | 1977 | 333019 |
the localization of proteoglycans and glycoproteins in the hyaline cartilage. | antibodies to proteoglycan (pg) and glycoprotein of bovine nasal cartilage were conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate and with horseradish peroxidase. hyaluronidase digestion of cartilage tissue-specimens increased the intensity of immune reactions; pronase digestion or extraction with 4 m guanidinium chloride abolished the staining. in the intercellular matrix fine filaments beaded with small granules were seen forming an irregular network. the interstices of the network are filled with co ... | 1977 | 332674 |
[retinal projections in the lamprey, lampetra fluviatilis (horseradish perioxidase transport method in the optic nerve)]. | after the injection of horseradish peroxidase into the eye of the lamprey l. fluviatilis, the anterograde transport of the enzyme was found in the optic tract itself reaching the optic tectum and via single fibers--the geniculate nucleus. the labeled fibers were also found in the axial optic tract terminating in the geniculate nucleus and in the nucleus of the posterior commissurae. retrograde transport and labeling of the tracer were observed in cells of the dorsal and central tegmentum. | 2006 | 331759 |
