Product Type: Chemical
Thoracic and abdominal segments of a Drosophila melanogaster embryo double labeled using monoclonal antibodies to engrailed (purple) and achaete (brown) proteins. Engrailed expression marks the posterior compartment of each segment and achaete expression labels five neuroblasts per hemisegment: three found midway between engrailed stripes and two found coincident with engrailed stripes. The cellular outlines of non-achaete positive neuroblasts are clearly visible interspersed among the achaete positive neuroblasts. Goat Anti-Mouse IgG-Alkaline Phosphatase conjugate (Cat. No. A7434) and BCIP/NBT (Cat. Nos. B8503/N6876) and DAB tablets (Cat. No. D5905) were used. From J. Skeath, Univ. of Wisc., Madison, WI]

Application: |
• Nitrotetrazolium Blue chloride has been used to detect the generation of oxygen metabolites in cells. • It has been used as a substrate for western blot detection. • It has been used for the staining of histological tissue sections.
|
Biochem/physiol Actions: |
Nitrotetrazolium blue (NBT), in combination with BCIP (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-phosphate), is required for the detection of labeled probes in western blots. It is part of the colorimetric detection assay. NBT and BCIP dyes detect alkaline phosphatase activity, thereby generating an insoluble purple dye (diformazan). The dye is visible at areas where the labeled probe has hybridized to its target. |
