Autologous fluorescence exclusion method of lipofuscin in a brain tissue section
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lipofuscin has autologous fluorescence. When an immunofluorescent stain is applied to an autopsy brain tissue specimen, it is necessary to erase the autologous fluorescence of the lipofuscin. However, in the conventional report, it was difficult to remove lipofuscin enough. We examined the autologous fluorescence removal of lipofuscin in brain tissue using various methods. The autologous fluorescence could be completely removed by using Autofluorescence Eliminator Reagent R for 45 minutes.

Effect of stress due to food deprivation, social inequality and instability on brain
Introduction: Several reports show a relationship between health equity, and health status and longevity of individuals. In this study, effects of food deprivation, inequality and social instability were investigated on the formation of lipofuscin pigment in Balb/C mice by histopathological and biochemical methods. Methods: Thirty-six male mice were divided into 6 groups, then different kind...
متن کاملFluorescence-based method, exploiting lipofuscin, for real-time detection of central nervous system tissues on bovine carcasses.
The removal of central nervous system (CNS) tissues as part of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) risk material is one of the highest priority tasks to avoid contamination of the human food chain with BSE. No currently available method enables the real-time detection of possible CNS tissue contamination on carcasses during slaughter. The fluorescent pigment lipofuscin is a heterogeneous, hi...

متن کاملCharacterization and Quenching of Autofluorescence in Piglet Testis Tissue and Cells
Significant intrinsic fluorescence in tissues and in disassociated cells can interfere with fluorescence identification of target cells. The objectives of the present study were (1) to examine an intrinsic fluorescence we observed in both the piglet testis tissue and cells and (2) to test an effective method to block the autofluorescence. We observed that a number of granules within the testis ...
متن کاملElimination of autofluorescence in immunofluorescence microscopy with digital image processing.
Autofluorescence can be a very disturbing factor in immunofluorescence microscopy. We present here a method to eliminate autofluorescence. The method is based on the fact that most autofluorescent compounds have broad-banded excitation and emission spectra, whereas specific fluorescent probes have narrow spectra. Two images are recorded and digitized, one at a wavelength exciting both the fluor...
