Conditions were found for staining whole mid-gestation capsular parietal endoderms and visceral yolk sacs for malic enzyme activity that gave excellent discrimination between wild-type (Mod-1+/Mod-1+) cells and mutant (Mod-1n/Mod-1n) cells that lack the cytoplasmic form of the enzyme. Reciprocal blastocyst

We studied the effect of section thickness on the reaction rate of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity in unfixed sections of rat liver by use of continuous monitoring by microdensitometry of the reaction product as it formed in the section during

In the previous study (Jordan et al., 1989), we demonstrated that androgen treatment of juvenile male rats inhibits the elimination of synapses in the levator ani (LA) muscle. In the present study, we asked whether synapse elimination would occur once

A quantitative histochemical procedure was developed for the demonstration of purine nucleoside phosphorylase in rat liver using unfixed cryostat sections and the auxiliary enzyme xanthine oxidase. The optimum incubation medium contained 18% (w/v) poly(vinyl alcohol), 100 mM phosphate buffer, pH

Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) has been used to stain motor nerve terminals and unmyelinated axons in vertebrate skeletal muscle, but undesirable background connective tissue coloration resulted. This procedure was improved by separation of the tetrazolium salt's binding from its subsequent reduction.
