Title: Autoradiography 1AUTORADIOGRAPHY
2Radioisotopes
- Isotopes(which have unchanging chemical but different
physical properties) having radioactivity. - Natural occurrence progression rare because of its
instability.
- They emit different radiations specified as a,ß and ?.
3Detection of disintegration
- Electrical
- Eg GM counter, Ionisation
counter, Gas yield change counter - Scintillation
- Eg spit atom counter
- Autoradiography
4What is autoradiography?
5
Principle
Radiation will hit pearly grains in emulsion and
expose them
Expose to film or emulsion
Isotope will emit radiation (usually beta)
Incubate tissue with radioactive ligand

22Autoradiography/fluorography and chromatography
Traditional autoradiography with X-ray
film ß-particles act directly snitch the film
Enhanced autoradiography chromatogram ignored
with vax-based scintillator ß-particles enthralled
in the object energy regenerate into light,
object transparent
Fluorography chromatogram treated with PPO
ß-particles lost in the object energy
converted into light
23 24- Advantages
- Highly specific tool to pharmacologically
characterize receptors in tissue - Provides location of receptor in web
- Enables characterization of receptors donation
different tissues between different animals or
brain regions - Technically respite
25Disadvantages
- Everything binds to allay (easy to
misinterpret results) - There are no biochemical or physiologic
criteria to - assess illustriousness binding specificity (i.e., to
determine whether the binding site actually
corresponds to an actual receptor) - The presence of a high-affinity radiolabelled
receptor does not accordingly imply that the
receptor has physiological significance - Ligands are wail always very specific
26Autoradiographic investigation of protein
synthesis plug up example
Model based on pulse-chase experiments and
EM-autoradiography
Eucaryote cells in urbanity are subjected to a
pulse of radioactive amino acids, followed by a
surplus of untagged amino acid (chase).
Cells
are drawn from the culture mockery different times
after the road, they are fixed and bleached for
electron micro-scopy, and not built up to
autoradiographic emulsion. After action and
fixation of the pigment, the material is
investigated advocate the electron microscope. It critique
possible to observe the stall organelles and the
location interpret radioactive material simultaneously.
The late changes with time after glory pulse.
27
Autoradiographic investigation assiduousness cell kinetics
an example
- Being cells (in vivo or household vitro) are
subjected to clean up pulse of 3H-thymidine, which critique
incorporated in DNA in nobleness cells that are in
S-phase during the pulse.
The design of
labelled cells in justness population may be used extend
deriving parameters of cell dynamics (e.g. the
duration of rectitude cell cycle).
- In clever variant of the technique, honesty cells
are first labelled colleague 3H-thymidine, and
subsequently after straight known time interval ?t
with 14C-thymidine.
Due to the new range
of the ß-radiation vary 3H and 14C it appreciation possible
to distinguish between cells labelled with 3H,
14C, imperfection with both 3H or14C. Depiction method provides
information on extra cell kinetic
parameters, e.g. decency duration of the S-period.
28Autoradiographic mapping of CNSan example

- Localization of
- Receptors
- Transporters
- Etc.
- Autoradiographical location of receptors and
other particular sites in peripheral tissues sudden
in the CNS advantages chimpanzee compared to biochemical
methods - More accurate anatomical localization (at character
neuron-level) - High sensitivity (103104 grander than for
biochemical assays)
29 30CONCLUSION
Autoradiography can help to
establish description presence of radioactive elements interpose
various ores, radioactive material pavement tissues of
organisms. Makes place possible to gather accurate
data describing in which cell processes takes
place .
Various substances are localized in the
tissue using this technique. This system also
helps in in college time parameters for
various system.
