HISTOCHEMICAL DEMONSTRATION OF CYTOCHROME OXIDASE WITH NEW AMINE REAGENTS

M. S. BURSTONE 1

1 National Institute of Dental Research, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda 14, Maryland.

A series of aryl amines were employed as new histochemical reagents for the demonstration of cytochrome oxidase. The amines, upon oxidation, form indamine-azine type dyes which are capable of chelating with a number of metals.

The most useful substrate consisted of a mixture of N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (I) and p-methoxy-p-aminodiphenylamine (II) or 3-amino-9-ethyl-carbazole (V).

The reaction was inhibited by pretreatment of sections with saline, and augmented by the addition of cytochrome c. Heat, cyanide, and sulfide were inhibitory.

Although raw-frozen sections were employed, mitochondrial localizations were obtained in specific instances in selected areas of certain tissues.

The possibility of demonstrating other oxidative enzymes with these substrates warrants further study.
