Simultaneous ultrastructural localization of Ag-NOR (nucleolar organizer region) proteins and ribonucleoproteins during mitosis, in human breast cancerous tissues.

The simultaneous ultrastructural localization of the Ag-NOR proteins and ribonucleoproteins (RNP) was carried out during mitosis in human breast cancerous tissues using a one-step silver staining method followed by acetylation. Owing to the good preservation of the cells and to the high precision of the Ag staining we were able to follow the behaviour of the argyrophilic nucleolar components fr...

Nucleolar organizer regions of lymphomas in Korea.

Nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) are loops of DNA which occur in the nucleoli of cells and which possess ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The numbers and/or configurations of NORs have been thought to be related to cellular activities. To assess the applicability of NORs associated protein (Ag-NORs) in the field of diagnostic histopathology, a silver staining was done in paraffin sections of malig...

Nucleolar Organizer Regions of Oral Epithelial Cells in Crack Cocaine Users

Background: The health risks of crack cocaine smoking on the oral mucosa has not been widely researched and documented. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the proliferative activity of oral epithelial cells exposed to crack cocaine smoke using silver nucleolar organizer region (AgNOR) staining. Methods: Oral smears were collected from clinically normal-appearing buccal mucosa b...
