  1. Autoradiography: It is a method whereby specific chemical substances are made to demonstrate their localization in organs and tissues by a natural or induced radioactivity.In autoradiography the radioactivity of the substance to be demonstrated is utilize to produce an image of its distribution on a photographic plate or film.It has the disadvantage in that all substances at any one particular site in a tissue is not demonstrated,only that which has been introduced in a radioactive condition into the animal.
    Immunocytochemistry: is a type of histological technique that uses antibodies that target specific peptides or protein antigen in the cell via specific epitopes.These antibodies can then be detected using several different methods.Immunocytochemistry allows researchers to determine which subcellular compartments are expressing the antigen.It provides services for tissues localization of proteins as well as measurement of cell proliferation and cell death,in experimental design and data interpretation.

  5. Short Notes on Autoradiography and Immunocytochemistry.

    1) Autoradiography- This is an histological technique whereby a tissue is supplied with a radioactive substance and allowed to utilize it for an appropriate period of time,after which the tissue is prepared and placed in contact with a special photographic emulsion. Silver grains in the emulsion in contact with the radioactive substance darken. Thus, the location of the darkspot indicates the position at which the radioactive substance was concentrated in the tissue.

    2) Immunocytochemistry- this is a common laboratory technique that uses antibodies that target specific peptides or protein antigens in the cell via epitopes. This bound antigens can be detected using several different methods. Immunocytochemistry allows researchers to evaluate whether or not cells in a particular sample express the antigen in question.

    AUTORADIOGRAPHY
    This histological technique involves taking a form of picture that is called an Autoradiograph.It involves exposing a photographic plate to the
    emission of alpha and beta particles and gamma rays released by the decay of radioactive substances within the subject which can be a biological specimen or human body part
    Autoradiography is used to determine the relative concentration of radioactive material and its distribution in a specimen. The radioactive susbstances called radioligands are usually injected into the specimen are gel like emulsions containing Silver Halide.

    IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRY
    Is an histological technique that is used to visualizing and examining the presence of specific proteins or antigens in cell suspension cultured cells and cytopsin that binds to a special antibody under the microscope. Here the samples are prepared by fixing the target cells on a slide, some samples may be grown in the the case of adherent cells and cell suspensions are centrifuged. The materials needed are Fixatives e.g Acetic acid, Triton-x which is used for Permeabilzation of the cell membrane to antibodies, Hydrogen Peroxide, Primary Antibodies, Secondary Antibodies and a florescence microscope. Sample that can be analysed using the technique are Adipose tissues, blood smears, cell suspensions e.t.c

  7. Autoradiography: A technique using X- ray film to visualize molecules or fragments of molecules that have been radioactively labeled. Autoradiography has many applications in the laboratory. Autoradiography can, for example, be used to analyze the length and number of DNA fragments after they are separated from one another by a method called gel electrophoresis.
    An autoradiograph is an image on an x-ray film or nuclear emulsion produced by the pattern of decay emissions (e.g., beta particles or gamma rays) from a distribution of a radioactive substance. Alternatively, the autoradiograph is also available as a digital image (digital autoradiography), due to the recent development of scintillation gas detectors or rare earth phosphorimaging systems.In biology, this technique may be used to determine the tissue (or cell) localization of a radioactive substance, either introduced into a metabolic pathway, bound to a receptor or enzyme, or hybridized to a nucleic acid. The film or emulsion is apposed to the labeled tissue section to obtain the autoradiograph (also called an autoradiogram). The auto- prefix indicates that the radioactive substance is within the sample, as distinguished from the case of historadiography or microradiography, in which the sample is X-rayed using an external source. Some autoradiographs can be examined microscopically for localization of silver grains (such as on the interiors or exteriors of cells or organelles) in which the process is termed micro-autoradiography. For example, micro-autoradiography was used to examine whether atrazine was being metabolized by the hornwort plant or by epiphytic microorganisms in the biofilm layer surrounding the plant.

  20. Autoradiography- this is a technque or process of making or using radioactive material or particle e.g x-ray film to detect or view structures of tissues or cells. Its also a photographic recording of radiation from the radioactive material, obtained by placing the surface of a radioactive materials in close proximity to a photographic emulsion. Its method involve a tissue being supplied with radioactive substances and allowed to utilise it for an appropriate period of time, after which the tissue is prepared and place in contact with a special photograhic emulsion. Silver grains in the emulsion in contact with radioactive substance darkens, thus, the location of the dark spot indicates the position at which the radioactive substances was concentrated in the tissues.

  21. Immunocytochemistry is a common laboratory techniques that uses antibody that target specific peptides or protein antigens in the cell via specific epitopes.
    Methods:there are many methods to obtain immunological detection on tissues. A direct method involves the use of a detectable tag (e.g fluorescent molecule,gold particles etc)directly to the antibodies that is then allowed to bind to the antigen(e.g protein) in a cell
    A tertiary reagent containing an enzymatic moiety is applied and binds to the secondary antibody. When the quaternary reagent or substrate is applied,the enzymatic end of the tertiary reagent converts the substrate into a pigment reaction product which produces a color e.g black,red,brown etc

    Autoradiography
    Radiography is the visualisation of the pattern of radio. In autoradiography the specimen itself is the source of the radiation,which originates from radioactive material incorporated into it.
    The first autoradiography was obtained accidently around 1867 when a blackening was produced on emulsions of silver chloride and iodide by uranium salts.
    method:
    * living cells are biefly exposed to a pulse of a specific radioactive compound.
    * The tissue is left for a variable time
    * Samples are taken,fixed and processed for light of electron microscopy.
    * Sections are cut and overlaid with a thin film of photographic emulsions

    Autoradiography is a technique done by taking a picture which is called an autoradiograph. The autograph shows the relative concentration of radioactive materials present in the specimen. The photographic plate is exposed to radioactive emissions from the specimen and an image is produced. Autoradiography relies on emissions of alpha and beta particles and gamma rays, released by the decay of radioactive substances within the species, instead of an outside source. The image gotten allows the technician to determine the relative concentration of radioactive material and it's distribution. Autographs help scientists learn more about cellular and tissue structures and how radioactive materials are absorbed and distributed.

    Immunocytochemistry is a technique which uses a specific antibody to assess the presence of a specific
    protein or antigen in cells, thereby allowing the cell to be viewed and examined under a microscope. It is an important tool in determining cellular contents from individual cells. The antibody used is one that binds to the protein or antigens in the cell.

  25. Immunocytochemistry (ICC)
    IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRY:- Is a common laboratory technique that uses antibodies that target specific peptides or protein antigens in the cell via specific epitopes. These bound antibodies can then be detected using several different methods. ICC allows researchers to evaluate whether or not cells in a particular sample express the antigen in question. In cases where an immunopositive signal is found, ICC also allows researchers to determine which sub-cellular compartments are expressing the antigen.
    Methods
    There are many methods to obtain immunological detection on tissues, including those tied directly to primary antibodies or antisera. A direct method involves the use of a detectable tag (e.g., fluorescent molecule, gold particles, etc., ) directly to the antibody that is then allowed to bind to the antigen (e.g., protein) in a cell.
    Alternatively, there are many indirect methods. In one such method, the antigen is bound by a primary antibody which is then amplified by use of a secondary antibody which binds to the primary antibody. in the same location that the original primary antibody recognized that antigen of interest.
    Some examples of substrates used (also known as chromogens) are AEC (3-Amino-9-EthylCarbazole), or DAB (3,3'-Diaminobenzidine). Use of one of these reagents after exposure to the necessary enzyme (e.g., horseradish peroxidase conjugated to an antibody reagent) produces a positive immunoreaction product. Immunocytochemical visualization of specific antigens of interest can be used when a less specific stain like H&E (Hematoxylin and Eosin) cannot be used for a diagnosis to be made or to provide additional predictive information regarding treatment (in some cancers, for example).
    Alternatively the secondary antibody may be covalently linked to a fluorophore (FITC and Rhodamine are the most common) which is detected in a fluorescence or confocal microscope. The location of fluorescence will vary according to the target molecule, external for membrane proteins, and internal for cytoplasmic proteins. In this way immunofluorescence is a powerful technique when combined with confocal microscopy for studying the location of proteins and dynamic processes (exocytosis, endocytosis, etc.).

    There are many ways to prepare cell samples for immunocytochemical analysis. Each method has its own strengths and unique characteristics so the right method can be chosen for the desired sample and outcome.
    Cells to be stained can be attached to a solid support to allow easy handling in subsequent procedures. This can be achieved by several methods: adherent cells may be grown on microscope slides, coverslips, or an optically suitable plastic support. Suspension cells can be centrifuged onto glass slides (cytospin), bound to solid support using chemical linkers, or in some cases handled in suspension.
    Concentrated cellular suspensions that exist in a low-viscosity medium make good candidates for smear preparations. Dilute cell suspensions existing in a dilute medium are best suited for the preparation of cytospins through cytocentrifugation. Cell suspensions that exist in a high-viscosity medium, are best suited to be tested as swab preparations. For any intercellular reaction to take place, immunoglobulin must first traverse the cell membrane that is intact in these preparations. Reactions taking place in the nucleus can be more difficult, and the extracellular fluids can create unique obstacles in the performance of immunocytochemistry. In this situation, permeabilizing cells using detergent (Triton X-100 or Tween-20) or choosing organic fixatives (acetone, methanol, or ethanol)

    1) AUTORADIOGRAPHY TECHNIQUE
    Autoradiography is the study of biological events in tissue sections using radioactivity. Autoradiography permits the localization of radioactive substances in tissues by means of emitted radiation effects on photographic emulsions. Silver bromide crystals present in the emulsion act as microdetectors of radioactivity in the same way that they respond to light in common photography. The first step of autoradiography is to deliver a radioactive compound to the cells. A variety of molecules, including radioactive amino acids, radioactive nucleotides, and radioactive sugars, can be used, depending on the purpose of the study. These molecules are called precursors, because they may be used by the cells to synthesize larger molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, or polysaccharides and glycoproteins. The tissue sections are prepared and are covered with photographic emulsion. The slides are kept in light-proof boxes; after an adequate exposure time they are developed photographically and examined. When the silver bromide crystals present in the photographic emulsion are hit by radiation they are transformed into small black granules of metallic silver, thus revealing the existence of radioactivity in the tissue. The structures that contain radioactive molecules become covered by these granules. This procedure can be used in both light and electron microscopy.

    2) IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRY TECHNIQUES.
    Immunocytochemistry is a technique used to assess the presence of a specific protein or antigen in cells by use of a specific antibody that binds to it. The antibody allows visualization of the protein under a microscope. Immunocytochemistry is a valuable tool to study the presence and sub-cellular localisation of proteins.

    Preparation of Coated Slides
    1. Position clean glass slides in a staining rack
    2. Immerse the slides for 30 min in a large staining dish containing a 1:10 dilution of 0.1% poly-L-lysine solution in deionized water.
    3 Remove the slides and oven dry for 1 hr at 60C.
    FIXATION METHOD
    For immunocytochemistry, sample
    preparation essentially entails fixing the target cells to the slide. Perfect fixation would immobilize the antigens, while retaining authentic cellular and subcellular architecture and permitting unhindered access of antibodies to all cells and
    subcellular compartments. Wide ranges of fixatives are commonly used, and the correct choice of method will depend on the nature of the antigen being examined and on the properties of the antibody used. Fixation methods fall generally into two classes: organic solvents and cross-linking reagents. Organic solvents such as alcohols and acetone remove lipids and dehydrate the cells, while precipitating the proteins on the cellular architecture. Cross-linking reagents (such as paraformaldehyde) form intermolecular bridges,normally through free amino groups, thus creating a network
    of linked antigens. Cross-linkers preserve cell structure better than organic solvents, but may reduce the antigenicity of some
    cell components, and require the addition of a permeabilization step, to allow access of the antibody to the specimen. Fixation with both methods may denature protein
    antigens, and for this reason, antibodies prepared against denatured proteins may be
    more useful for cell staining.

  33. (A) AUTORADIOGRAPHY
    Autoradiography is the process of taking a type of picture called an autoradiograph which shows the relative concentration of radioactive material present within the subject. Radiography is the use of radioactive materials or X-rays to produce an image while exposing a photography plate or film to the X-rays is the common method for this type of image. It reduces a similar image but relies on emissions of alpha and beta articles and gamma rays released by the decay of radioactive substances within the subject rather than an outside source.
    USES OF AUTORADIOGRAPHY
    (1) Autoradiography can be used to isolate partial sequences of RNA and DNA for study especially n virus.
    (2) It can be used to study RNA and DNA as well as the phases of cell development and function.
    (3) This techniques can be used by doctors to detect, diagnose and device treatment strategies for various type of radiation running which issues may have absorbed the radio active material.
    (B) IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRY
    Immunocytochemistry is the demonstration of antigen in the tissue section or smears by the use of specific antigen/antibody which may culminate in the attachment of a partaker to the antigen for light microscopy. The maker may be fluorescent dye, an enzyme or colloidal gold.immunocytochemistry is recognize as an element and a major tool in diagnostic and research orientated a cellular pathology. Immunocytochemistry involves the detection of specific or highly selective cellular epitopes with an antibody and appropriate labeling system with many antibodies identifying epitopes that survive formaline fixation and processing to paraffin wax and clinical data alone cannot provide a diagnosis. There are numerous immunocytochemical techniques which may be used to localize an antigens. The selection of a suitable technique should be based on parameters such as the type of specimen under investigation and degrees of sensitivity required cost may also be a factor.
