A diaminobenzidine posttreatment employing osmium tetroxide and potassium ferrocyanide was successfully used to intensify the diaminobenzidine stain formed by photoconversion of immunofluorescent labelling. Lactoferrin labelled granules became visible following the photoconversion process. Adequate diaminobenzidine staining was obtained after irradiating the cytospin preparations with ultraviolet light for 30-40 min. The diaminobenzidine stain had advantages over the fluorescent stain owing to its greater stability, greater density, and ability to be intensified. The enhancement procedure intensified both the color and density of the diaminobenzidine product. Consequently, shorter irradiation times could be used. Osmium tetroxide solutions of 3-4% increased the intensity with minimal background staining. Ultrastructural immunogold cytochemistry on ultrathin sections confirmed the existence of the lactoferrin labelled structures observed by light microscopy of cytospin preparations indicating that these were secondary granules. The photomicroscopy procedures used in this study were simple to perform and could be applied to studies of other cellular antigens prior to using immunoultramicroscopy.

Endotoxins are found in the outer membrane of all gram-negative bacteria and are a primary cause of endotoxemia, organ failure, and significant harm to human health. Limulus reagent as traditional detection method has certain limitations for the rapid and accurate detection of endotoxin due to the high costs associated with the horseshoe crab used in the sensing process. Herein, a fluorometric and colorimetric dual-mode biosensor was prepared for the rapid and sensitive detection of endotoxin.

The production and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical for plants to adapt to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, we investigated the interaction between the coat protein (CP) of cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) and ATP synthase subunit δ (ATPδ) in mitochondria. Silencing of ATPδ by tobacco rattle virus-based virus-induced gene silencing impeded CGMMV accumulation in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves.

Herein, a dual-mode fluorometric and colorimetric biosensor for Pax-5a gene was developed based on zinc-doped molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (Zn-MoS QDs) by coupling exonuclease-assisted recycling amplification and peroxidase-mimic DNAzyme. In the presence of Pax-5a gene, the exonuclease III can cleave the duplexes formed by Pax-5a gene and the hairpin DNA (HP), releasing the output DNA (oDNA). G-rich DNA and magnetic beads (MBs) labeled with capture DNA (cDNA) can hybridize with oDNA to form the MBs-cDNA/oDNA/G-rich DNA sandwich complex.

In this study, a novel analytical method was developed and validated for the quantification of selenium in selenium-enriched tea. The various valence states of selenium present in tea were converted to Se(IV) through oxidation and reduction reactions. To chemically react with Se(IV), 3,3'-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) was employed to produce Se-DAB derivatives.

A novel hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-14) has attracted much attention due to its excellent biocompatibility and low toxicity, but its research in the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) field has not been reported. In this work, the annihilation-type and coreactant-type ECL emission mechanisms of HOF-14 were studied systematically for the first time. It was found that the ECL quantum efficiency of HOF-14/TEA coreactant system was the highest, which was 1.
