Abstract:

Objective  To develop a feasible method  to reduce the rat intestinal autofluorescence (AF).   Methods   Five rats were sacrificed. After cryostat section, intestinal AF was investigated by immunofluorescence (IF) before and after Sudan black B (SBB) treatment.   Results  The AF within the different rat intestinal segments was easily detected in both FITC- and TRITC-channel spectrum, which was not affected by serum blocking. After 0.3% SBB treatment for 10 minutes, a significant reduction of AF was observed in the rat intestinal tissue. Moreover, the SBB treatment did not affect the expression of CD45 in the rat intestine detected by IF staining, but reduced the AF remarkedly.   Conclusion  The AF in rat intestinal frozen section can be effectively reduced with 0.3% SBB treatment for 10 minutes.
