[Determination of the relative RNA-content of liver cell nuclei with gallocyanin-chromealum-staining (author's transl)].

Acta Histochem. 69(2) , 307-13, (1981)

The relative RNA-content of liver cell nuclei from histological slides of rat liver was determined by automatical microscope picture analysis. The slides were stained with Gallocyanin-Chromealum. Extinction measurements are made before and after perchloracid ...

Remarks on the usefulness of toluidine blue staining for RNA cytophotometry in plastic embedded tissues.

Cell Mol. Biol. 45(4) , 379-82, (1999)

The study demonstrates the usefulness of water-soluble plastic resins for the cytological quantification of RNA contents after toluidine blue staining. In this way shrinkage artefacts in delicate tissues are avoided and more exact cytophotometrical results ca...

The involvement of nucleosomes in Giemsa staining of chromosomes. A new hypothesis on the banding mechanism.

Histochemistry 82(4) , 363-76, (1985)

A new hypothesis is proposed on the involvement of nucleosomes in Giemsa banding of chromosomes. Giemsa staining as well as the concomitant swelling can be explained as an insertion of the triple charged hydrophobic dye complex between the negatively-charged ...

Gallocyanin chromalum as a nuclear stain in cytology. I. A cytophotometric comparison of the Husain-Watts Gallocyanin chromalum staining protocol with the Feulgen procedure.

Histochem. J. 23(5) , 241-5, (1991)

In the present study, the staining characteristics of the Gallocyanin chromalum technique devised by Husain and Watts are compared with the Feulgen reaction. Liver imprints, blood smears, and cervical smears were fixed in ethanol and stained with either the H...

Cytochemical evaluation of sperm and lymphocyte DNA content after treatment with 5 N HCl.

Histochemistry 84(1) , 41-4, (1986)

In situ as well as extra situm cytochemical methods were used to investigate why the observed Feulgen-DNA value of sperm versus lymphocyte cells is lower than expected. After treatment with 5 N HCl, in situ experiments involving the GCA reaction and the UV cy...

Rapid demonstration of nucleic acids using "oxidised" gallocyanin and chromic potassium sulphate: methods and applications.

J. Clin. Pathol. 37(1) , 99-101, (1984)

Gallocyanin-chrome alum counterstaining of Golgi-Kopsch impregnations.

Stain Technol. 58(3) , 171-5, (1983)

A simple technique is described for counterstaining Golgi-Kopsch impregnations. The sections are first stabilized by the method of Geisert and Updyke and then stained in 0.15% gallocyanin and 5% chromium potassium sulfate for 45 minutes at 55-60 C. The sectio...

Systematic investigations of the contrast results of histochemical stainings of neurons and glial cells in the human brain by means of image analysis

Micron 28(3) , 197-215, (1997)

The investigation of neurohistological specimens by image analysis has become an important tool in morphological neuroscience. The problems which arise during the processing of these images are non-trivial, especially if a pattern recognition of cells in the ...

[Determination of the nucleic acids in pig embryonic kidney cells by magnetic cytaphoresis].

Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR Biol. (2) , 294-7, (1989)

Gallocyanine-chrome alum-stained pig embryonic kidney cells have paramagnetic properties. They move under the influence of gradient magnetic field (magnetophoresis). The velocity of magnetophoresis is proportional to the content of nucleic acids in cells. Thi...

A simple method for the use of gallocyanin-chrome alum as an electron strain.

J. Microsc. 121(Pt 3) , 253-9, (1981)

A method has been elaborated for the demonstration of DNA in the electron microscope. The method uses glutaraldehyde fixed tissue pieces from which RNA has been removed by incubation with RNase. DNA is stained by gallocyanin-chrome alum in the tissue block. E...
