Techniques of digital image analysis for histological quantification of melanin.
Morphometric analysis of tissue melanin may quantitatively contribute to research on pigmentation disorders. The authors present three methods for image analysis, which allow for identification of melanin-equivalent pixels in the epidermis using Fontana-Masson stain and, therefore, for the calculation of its percentage in the different epidermal layers. Moreover, they discuss the main elements ...
متن کاملGreen fluorescent protein quantification in whole plants.
As future biotechnology applications utilize recombinant proteins as commercial products, nondestructive assays will be necessary to determine protein concentrations accurately within plant tissues. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been proposed as a potential marker for the monitoring of transgenic plants and quantifying recombinant protein levels under field conditions. This chapter discus...
متن کاملQuantification of osmotic water transport in vivo using fluorescent albumin.
Osmotic water transport across the peritoneal membrane is applied during peritoneal dialysis to remove the excess water accumulated in patients with end-stage renal disease. The discovery of aquaporin water channels and the generation of transgenic animals have stressed the need for novel and accurate methods to unravel molecular mechanisms of water permeability in vivo. Here, we describe the u...
متن کاملImaging and quantification of isotachophoresis zones using nonfocusing fluorescent tracers.
We present a novel method for visualizing isotachophoresis (ITP) zones. We introduce negligibly small concentrations of a fluorophore that is not focused by isotachophoresis. This nonfocusing tracer (NFT) migrates through multiple isotachophoresis zones. As it enters each zone, the NFT concentration adapts to the local electric field in each zone. ITP zones can then be visualized with a point d...
متن کاملMathematical analysis and quantification of fluorescent proteins as transcriptional reporters.
Fluorescent proteins are often used as reporters of transcriptional activity. Here we present a mathematical characterization of a novel fluorescent reporter that was recently engineered to have a short half-life (approximately 12 min). The advantage of this destabilized protein is that it can track the transient transcriptional response often exhibited by signaling pathways. Our mathematical m...
