Optimized negative-staining electron microscopy for lipoprotein studies.
BACKGROUND Negative-staining (NS), a rapid, simple and conventional technique of electron microscopy (EM), has been commonly used to initially study the morphology and structure of proteins for half a century. Certain NS protocols however can cause artifacts, especially for structurally flexible or lipid-related proteins, such as lipoproteins. Lipoproteins were often observed in the form of rou...
متن کاملSection Staining for Electron Microscopy
Epon epoxy resin was introduced as an embedding medium for biological electron microscopy largely through the independent efforts of Finck (1) and Luft (2). The usual recipe involves three components: Epon 812 resin (Epikote 812, in England), an anhydride hardener, and an accelerator such as DMP-30. Since the combination of Epon with dodecenyl succinic anhydride (DDSA) was thought to produce a ...

The caliber of many of the papers was less than optimum. For instance, in the paper on, "The effects of Insulin on Water Intake in the Rat," the author made no attempt to determine if hypoglycemia, shock, or anoxia had occurred after 16-32 units of crystalline insulin was given intravenously to rats. For the reader interested in the complex physio-psychological problem of thirst this symposium ...
متن کاملRecognition of whole Cryptosporidium oocysts in feces by negative staining and electron microscopy.
Crytosporidium oocysts in feces were recognizable in the electron microscope when prepared by the negative staining technique used by virologists. Their size, shape, and surface markings were sufficiently characteristic for cryptosporidiosis to be diagnosed by this method if more suitable methods are not available.
