General description

regular Paraplast with approx. 0.8% DMSO added for enhanced ease of infiltration and sectioning

Application

Paraffin polyisobutylene mixture is a tissue embedding medium composed of highly purified paraffin and polyisobutylene and a low level of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to enhance the rate of tissue penetration. Paraffin-polyisobutylene (76258) supports thin wrinkle-free sectioning down to 4 microM with more flexible and continuous ribbons.

This study describes an effective method of in situ RT-PCR (RT-ISPCR) that was developed to localize gene expression in plant tissues. This RT-PCR technique was performed on sectioned tissues of female buds of the cucumber GY3 inbred line. The CUS1

Since androgens and/or estrogens must bind with specific receptors in order to elicit a response at the target organ(s), it is important to understand factors that regulate expression of androgen receptors (AR) and estrogen receptors (ER). Hence, the objective of

A method is described for the histochemical detection of horseradish peroxidase in Paraplast Plus embedded brain sections. The procedure uses 150-micron-thick Vibratome-cut slices of glutaraldehyde-paraformaldehyde-fixed brain tissue. Tetramethylbenzidine stabilized by diaminobenzidine/cobalt/H2O2 is used as chromogen. The Vibratome-cut slices are dehydrated

Invertase plays multiple pivotal roles in plant development. Thus, its activity must be tightly regulated in vivo. Emerging evidence suggests that a group of small proteins that inhibit invertase activity in vitro appears to exist in a wide variety of
