Abstract:
The conditions required for the production of a polylysine-coated gold (PL-G) complex, which shows optimal sensitivity for the demonstration of tissue anionic sites, expressed under different conditions of pH have been investigated. Problems encountered with this complex have been compared with those found with other methods of conjugation of polylysine to colloidal gold. The performance of a bovine serum albumin (BSA)-stabilized PL-G complex was examined against other PL-G conjugates, including complexes that are commercially available, for the detection of heterogeneous glomerular anionic site populations, expressed at pH 2.5 and pH 7.0.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
Western Blotting
The technique begins with separating proteins from the sample using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), followed by protein transfer, immunoblotting, and finally, protein detection.
