Question
Answer
Two types DNA AND RNA   show
🗑
show DNA  
🗑
Has 5 carbon sugars called Ribose, found in the nucleolus and ribosomes   show
🗑
The sugars in DNA and RNA differ by a single hydroxyl group (OH-). the difference allows for selective demonstration of DNA and RNA by special staining technique   show
🗑
process by which a chemical compound decomposes by reacting with water   show
🗑
demonstrates DNA, hydrolysis of DNA by hydrochloric acid   show
🗑
show Feulgen stain  
🗑
show Feulgen stain  
🗑
DNA appreas Magenta/reddish purple   show
🗑
show Feulgen stain  
🗑
show Feulgen stain special consideration  
🗑
masked feulgen   show
🗑
NONE required all nuclei will stain   show
🗑
show Methyl green pyronin Y  
🗑
show Methyl green pyronin Y  
🗑
show Methyl green pyronin Y  
🗑
show Methyl green pyronin Y  
🗑
show Methyl green pyronin Y  
🗑
Carnoyed fixed best, 10%NBF works, B-5, Helly or Zenker,   show
🗑
Control tissue, a section containing numerous plasma cells   show
🗑
show Methyl green pyronin Y special consideration  
🗑
pyronin is not specific for RNA. cartilage, osteoid, keratin, eosinphil granules and mast cell granules will also stain, DNA will stain but pyronin cant compete with Methyl green for DNA   show
🗑
process where a dye forms other dyes spontaneously   show
🗑
A compound dye or dye mix that contains components of different colors   show
🗑
Most common example of Romanowsky stain   show
🗑
show May-Grunwald Giemsa  
🗑
show hematopoietic tissues  
🗑
show May-Grunwald Giemsa  
🗑
basophilic or basic dye, methylene blue is combined w/eosinphilic or acid dye, to create "neutral dyes" that demonstrate a wide variety of colors when used to stain hematopoietic cell nuclei and platelets.   show
🗑
differentiate cells present in hematopoietic tissue. demonstrates presence of microorganisms. hitological dx for malaria, spirochete and protozoan blood parasites   show
🗑
show May-Grunwald Giemsa  
🗑
show May-Grunwald Giemsa fixative  
🗑
show May-Grunwald Giemsa  
🗑
show May-Grunwald Giemsa  
🗑
Control spleen   show
🗑
made of 1-2% carbohydrate (chondroitin,heparin,and dermatan)and acid mucopolysaccharides   show
🗑
disease charactarized by amorphorous, eosinphilic, extracellular deposit, that slowly replace cellular elements of vital organs and causes progressive loss of function and eventually death   show
🗑
varies between patients and between organs in the same patient   show
🗑
show primary amyloidosis  
🗑
organs affected are muscle, heart, skin, tongue   show
🗑
associated with a predisposing disease, chronic inflamatory disease rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, infections such as tuberculosis and osteomyelitis   show
🗑
this type of amyloid most frequently deposited in kidneys, liver, spleen and adrenal gland   show
🗑
associated with disease of the immunological system, resembles primary amyloid   show
🗑
show Tumor associated amyloid  
🗑
show APUD celss  
🗑
compromise both specialized neurons and endocrine cells.synthesize structually related polypeptides and biogenic amines   show
🗑
amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation   show
🗑
show peptide hormone examples  
🗑
show amine hormone examples  
🗑
show Apudoma  
🗑
small-oat cell carcinoma of lung, carcinoids of lung, thymus, GI tract and prostate, medullary CA of thyroid, pancreatic islet cell tumor, malignant melanoma, Ganglioneuroma   show
🗑
show polypeptide production  
🗑
show AL amyloid  
🗑
show AA amyloid  
🗑
show AF amyloid  
🗑
show APUD  
🗑
demonstrates amyloid in tissues, most specific technique to demonstrate amyloid,   show
🗑
pretreatment with alkali aids in the release of native internal hydrogen bonds between adjacent protein chains creating mores sites for the dye to bind   show
🗑
show congo red  
🗑
show Congo red  
🗑
elastic tissues stain pale pink   show
🗑
nuclei stains blue   show
🗑
cut section at 8-10 microns   show
🗑
show congo red special considerations  
🗑
show congo red  
🗑
rapid screening method to demonstrate amyloid   show
🗑
show crystal violet  
🗑
addition of HCl in the stain prevents the cytoplasmic component from overstatining   show
🗑
amyloid stains violet, other tissue elements stain blue   show
🗑
cut sections 10-12 microns   show
🗑
show crystal violet control  
🗑
cover slip w/apathy mounting media or aqueous based mounting media or air dry slide completely then dip in xylene and use resinous media   show
🗑
show Thioflavin T fluorescent Method  
🗑
Amyloid fluoresces yellow/yellow green   show
🗑
Sections at 6-10 microns   show
🗑
show Thioflavin T fluorescent Method special considerations  
🗑
show Thioflavin T fluorescent Method  
🗑
pH of staining solution critical. More acid levels give more selective chromatin staining and less cytobasophilia, less acid pH levels give denser nuclei and increased cytoplasmic basophilia   show
🗑
