  • Appendix A: Standardization of Staining Methods
    Appendix A: Standardization of Staining Methods H. Lyon, D. Wittekind, E. Schulte No detailed descriptions of staining methods are provided in this book. The reader is referred to one or more of the excellent texts covering this field (cf. Preface). Nevertheless, we have feIt it appropriate to inc1ude this appendix which gives some of our views on the technical aspects of procedures which should be given particular emphasis. It is our opinion that the need for standardization and quan­ titative methods in daily work is pressing. This appendix sets out the appropriate general considerations followed by a few selected methods in order to cover this area. A.l General Considerations According to Boon and Wittekind (1986) the principle aim of standardizing staining methods is to render their application reproducible and therefore reliable. This is of the utmost importance when dyes and stains are used for automated cell pattern recognition (Wittekind, 1985; Wittekind and Schulte, 1987). The theoretical background for standardization of cell and tissue preparation sterns from the fact that any preparatory step - from cell sampling to mounting of the stained slide - will somehow affect the structure of the cell and ultimately lead to the production of a particular staining pattern which, in strict tenns, is an artifact. What we eventually observe by microscopy is, from the perspective of a cell, the product of a rather violent procedure: In cytological preparations the cells have been isolated from their tissue, spread out on the surface of a glass slide and immersed in a liquid poison which abruptly arrests and - sensu stricto - "fixes" the cell in the very last moment of its life.

  • An Improved Silver Staining Technique for Nucleolus Organizer Regions by Using Nylon Cloth
    Jpn. J. Human Genet. 25, 229-233, 1980 AN IMPROVED SILVER STAINING TECHNIQUE FOR NUCLEOLUS ORGANIZER REGIONS BY USING NYLON CLOTH Yoshiaki KODAMA, Michihiro C. YOSHIDA, and Motomichi SASAKI Chromosome Research Unit, Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060, Japan Summary A simple and reproducible silver-staining technique for nu- cleolus organizer regions (NORs) was developed, use being made of nylon cloth as a coverslip for even impregnation of the sliver solution. Ag-NORs were clearly and selectively visualized in human and mouse chromosomes, without equivocal staining of centrometric heterochromatin and back- ground silver grains. INTRODUCTION Nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) of chromosomes in various organisms can be selectively stained by the N-banding (Matsui and Sasaki, 1973; Funaki et aL, 1975) or silver-staining techniques (Howell et al., 1975; Goodpasture and Bloom, 1975), the latter technique being simplified and much improved by Bloom and Goodpasture (1976). Even though this improved technique is widely used, there are still several problems in its practical use such as those hampered by occasional appearance of excessive background silver-grains and non-uniform staining in a given slide. We have devised a simple and reproducible silver-staining technique to over- come the above problems by using nylon cIoth as a coverslip during silver impreg- nation of the slides. MATERIALS AND METHODS Air-dried chromosome preparations were made from PHA-stimulated human lymphocyte cultures and from a hyperdiploid mouse Ehrlich asites tumor (EAT). The staining procedure employed was essentially the same as the Ag-I method described by Bloom and Goodpasture (1976), with minor modifications. The silver nitrate (Ag-) solution was prepared by dissolving 1 g AgNO8 in 2 ml distilled- Received February 27, 1980 229 230 Y.

Here, we demonstrate that anti-A␤ immunotherapy combined with suppression of A␤ synthesis allows significant removal of antecedent deposits. We treated amyloid-bearing tet-off APP (amyloid precursor protein) mice with doxycycline to suppress transgenic A␤ production before initiating a 12 week course of passive immunization. Animals remained on doxycycline for 3 months afterward to assess whether improvements attained during combined treatment could be maintained by monotherapy. This strategy reduced amyloid load by 52% and A␤42 content by 28% relative to pretreatment levels, with preferential clearance of small deposits and diffuse A␤ surrounding fibrillar cores. We demonstrate that peripherally administered anti-A␤ antibody crossed the blood–brain barrier, bound to plaques, and was still be found associated with a subset of amyloid deposits many months after the final injection.

  • A General-Purpose Method of Silver Staining by A. PETERS (Frovijhe Department of Zoology, University of Bristol)
    323 A General-Purpose Method of Silver Staining By A. PETERS (Frovijhe Department of Zoology, University of Bristol) SUMMARY A method of silver staining for paraffin sections has been described. Sections should be fixed in either Nonidez fixative, 4% formaldehyde, or 4% formaldehyde saturated with mercuric chloride. The sections are impregnated for 16 hours in 1/20,000 silver nitrate at pH 8 or 9 and developed in a glycine physical developer after the reducible silver has been removed with a 2% solution of sodium sulphite. The effect of pH on impregnation has been described. A spectrum of staining was obtained in which nerve fibres began to stain appreciably at pH 7, cell nuclei at pH 8, cell cytoplasm at pH 9, and connective tissue at higher pH values. Therefore, impreg- nation should be carried out at pH 8 to obtain a good staining of nerve fibres and at pH 9 if some staining of cell bodies is also required. N recent years, a number of methods for the silver staining of paraffin sections of nervous tissue have been described. Probably the most impor- Itant have been those of Holmes (1947), Romanes (1950), and Samuel (19536). Although these methods vary in detail, they have the common factor that impregnation is carried out at a controlled pH in a dilute solution of a silver salt. Holmes and Samuel used silver nitrate and Romanes used silver chloride. While Holmes and Romanes employed a hydroquinone-sulphite developer, which reduced the silver taken up by the sections during impregnation, Samuel removed the reducible silver with a sodium sulphite solution and developed in a physical developer.

  • STAINING TECHNIQUES — Staining Is an Auxiliary Technique Used in Microscopy to Enhance Contrast in the Microscopic Image
    STAINING TECHNIQUES Staining is an auxiliary technique used in microscopy to enhance contrast in the microscopic image. Stains or dyes are used in biology and medicine to highlight structures in biological tissues for viewing with microscope. Cell staining is a technique that can be used to better visualize cells and cell components under a microscope. Using different stains, it is possible to stain preferentially certain cell components, such as a nucleus or a cell wall, or the entire cell. Most stains can be used on fixed, or non-living cells, while only some can be used on living cells; some stains can be used on either living or non-living cells. In biochemistry, staining involves adding a class specific (DNA, lipids, proteins or carbohydrates) dye to a substrate to qualify or quantify the presence of a specific compound. Staining and fluorescence tagging can serve similar purposes Purposes of Staining The most basic reason that cells are stained is to enhance visualization of the cell or certain cellular components under a microscope. Cells may also be stained to highlight metabolic processes or to differentiate between live and dead cells in a sample. Cells may also be enumerated by staining cells to determine biomass in an environment of interest. Stains may be used to define and examine bulk tissues (e.g. muscle fibers or connective tissues), cell populations (different blood cells) or organelles within individual cells. Biological staining is also used to mark cells in flow cytometry, flag proteins or nucleic acids on gel electrophoresis Staining is not limited to biological materials, it can also be used to study the morphology (form) of other materials e.g.
