General description

Fluoro-JadeⓇ B is a polyanionic fluorescein derivative which sensitively and specifically binds to degenerating neurons. It is a dark red power that has a green iridescence with excitation peak at 480 nm and emission peak at 525 nm. The filter used for visualizing Fluoro-JadeⓇ B is a fluorescein/FITC filter. Fluoro-JadeⓇ B can be used on most tissue section types and thicknesses including frozen, vibratomed cryostat or paraffin-embedded sections from 3-50 µm. Fluoro-JadeⓇ B is faster and more reliable than older methods (e.g. suppressed silver) for the unequivocal qualitative detection and quantitative measurement of both and fine scale neuronal degeneration.
N-terminal GST-tagged, recombinant human XIAP full length, expressed by baculovirus in Sf21 insect cells

Application

Appearance: Dark red powder with green iridescence.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Neurodegenerative Diseases

Warning

Toxicity: Although the compound appears to be of low toxicity, it has not been extensively evaluated and therefore routine laboratory caution should be exercised. Not intended for human consumption.

Physical form

Filter System : Fluorescein / FITC
Solubility: Very soluble in water and bases, moderately soluble in alcohol and weak acids.

Storage and Stability

The powder should be stored well sealed at room temperature, preferable in a dessicator, due to its hygroscopic nature. The liquid stock solution (0.01%) in distilled water can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 3 months. The working solution (0.0004%) in 0.1% acetic acid should be prepared fresh and not be stored or reused.

Analysis Note

This layer chromatography using cellulose plates and a solvent system of n-propinol, water, and ammonium hydroxide (6:5:2) revealed the presence of two fluorescent isomers and two trace non-fluorescent bands. No amount of fluorescein or Fluoro-Jade was present

Chronic treatment with agmatine, similarly to fluoxetine, may cause antidepressant-like effects mediated, at least in part, by the modulation of hippocampal plasticity. However, the ability of chronic treatment with agmatine to cause antidepressant-like effects associated with the modulation of mammalian
