Application

Latex beads, amine-modified polystyrene, fluorescent yellow-green have been used:
  • in the characterization of nano- and microplastics
  • in tendon preparation to label tendon fascicles to enable precise localization of the tissue surface
  • in phagocytosis assay to label spleen cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Polystyrene latex beads can be used to create latex agglutination systems. It can be used to study the transmission of Mycobacterium leprae, the causative pathogen of leprosy. These beads are also utilized to develop a method for mass screening for both pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis.

Since activated macrophages generate potentially deleterious reactive oxygen species, we studied whether ascorbic acid might function as an antioxidant in these cells. Thioglycollate-elicited murine peritoneal macrophages contained about 3 mM ascorbate that was halved by culture in ascorbate-free medium. However

Collagen is a triple-helical protein that forms various macromolecular organizations in tissues and is responsible for the biomechanical and physical properties of most organs. Second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is a valuable imaging technique to probe collagen fibrillar organization. In this
