A rapid and easy method for staining lipopolysaccharides with ethidium bromide is described. Lipopolysaccharides could be visualized by ethidium bromide with almost the same sensitivity as found with the silver-staining method in less than 30 min. The ethidium bromide-staining method was particularly suitable for staining lipopolysaccharides possessing acidic O-specific polysaccharides, which were poorly visualized by silver staining.
本文描述了一种用溴化乙锭染色脂多糖的快速简便方法。在不到30分钟的时间内,溴化乙锭就能使脂多糖显色,其灵敏度与银染法几乎相同。溴化乙锭染色法特别适用于对含有酸性O-特异性多糖的脂多糖进行染色,而银染法对这类脂多糖的显色效果较差。
