A visible DNA-protein stain: Feulgen-Pararosanilin(SO2) Light Green
Abstract:
Feulgen-Pararosanilin(SO2) Light Green, a DNA-protein stain, is described that is suited both for visual analysis and quantitative cytochemical measurement. The stain has been applied on cervical cells and quantitative aspects have been studied on chicken erythrocyte and rat liver nuclei. In comparison to single staining, the Feulgen-Pararosanilin(SO2) DNA content of the nuclei remains unaltered after application of the combined staining. The Light Green protein content is reduced considerably, however, dependent on the degree of chromatin condensation in the nucleus.

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...

Fixation and Sectioning
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
