Application

p-Phenylenediamine has been used:
  • to evaluate its sensitization potential in vitro in langerhans-like dendritic cells and autologous T cells
  • to treat the dorsal sides of the ears of mice, to study its systemic immunological effects[1]
  • in glycerol to coverslip coronal sections in the attempt to count Aβ plaques

Anti-fade reagent is added to the mounting medium in fluorescence microscopy to retard photobleaching of fluorescein and other fluorescent dyes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

p-Phenylenediamine causes allergic reactions with skin. It is widely used in hair dyes. It eventually forms Bandrowski′s base, which is found to be the primary cause for allergy. p-Phenylenediamine exposure results in dermatitis, urticaria and anaphylaxis. It acts as an electron donor and is known to reduce cytochrome c.

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. May I ask if I can use P- phenylenediamine for oxidase test 

    1 answer
    1. We have no information on using this product for oxidase test. Product No. T3134, N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride is commonly used to perform the oxidase test for the colorimetric identification of pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria.

  2. What is the working concentration for p-Phenylediamine, Product P6001, when used as an antifade agent?

    1 answer
    1. J. Immunological Methods, 43, 349 (1981) describes a solution that will reduce the fading of fluorescent materials. The recipe for this solution is: "Add 10 mL of phosphate-buffered saline (0.01 M PO4, pH 7.4 in 0.15 M NaCl) containing 100 mg of p-phenylenediamine to 90 ml of glycerol. The final pH should be adjusted to approximately 8.0 with 0.5 M carbonate-bicarbonate buffer (pH 9.0)".
