Disease relevance of Tetramethylbenzidine

  • HbpA, expressed as a recombinant protein in E. coli and purified by antibody affinity chromatography, has hemin binding activity as determined by lithium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with tetramethylbenzidine staining [1].
  • Subsequent querying with a streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate followed by color development using tetramethylbenzidine resulted in accurate Helicobacter species identification with no cross-hybridization to either the 16S rDNA or the cpn60 sequence of a closely related strain of Campylobacter jejuni [2].
  • A positive reaction with tetramethylbenzidine was also observed in the lesser superficial petrosal nerve, the greater superficial petrosal nerve, the vidian nerve, the greater deep petrosal nerve, the internal carotid ganglion and the trigeminal ganglion [3].
  • The ability to use the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) method for studying neuronal connections at the electron microscopic level is often difficult because the conditions of osmification and dehydration used in processing the tissue may result in significant loss and/or decreased electron density of the reaction product [4].
  • Of cases of colorectal cancer, TMB tests, the benzidine test, Fecatwin sensitive, Hemoccult, and Fecatwin could detect about 85%, 85%, 85%, 80%, and 45%, respectively [5].

Biological context of Tetramethylbenzidine

  • A 101-kilodalton (kDa) protein responsible for this phenotype (Crb+) in S. flexneri was identified by a tetramethylbenzidine staining procedure which detects heme-protein complexes in polyacrylamide gels [11].
  • The test sample was incubated and the antigen-antibody reaction was monitored by the addition of a biotinylated monoclonal antibody (mAb 15) specific to the toxin, avidin-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and tetramethylbenzidine substrate [12].
  • The second exons of HLA-DQA1 and DQB1 were co-amplified using biotinylated primers, amplicons were hybridized to a set of seven probes immobilized on a microtitre plate using a single hybridisation temperature, and detected colorimetrically by streptavidin-HRP conjugate and tetramethylbenzidine substrate [13].

Gene context of Tetramethylbenzidine

  • The first step consisted of visualizing Metenkephalinergic terminals with DAB reaction product, and the second one involved detecting the antigens TH, beta-END, and NPY in their respective neurons with TMB reaction product [24].
  • The 37- and 19-kDa subunits are stained with tetramethylbenzidine for the cytochrome c hemes [25].
  • Tetramethylbenzidine histochemical analysis showed the presence of significant amounts of the lectin-conjugate in both the receptor epithelium and olfactory bulb until at least 2 weeks postintranasal application [26].
  • Horseradish peroxidase was injected into subdivisions of SI or SII and after post-injection survival periods of 12-72 hours the horseradish peroxidase in the tissue was reacted with the chromogens dihydrochlorobenzidine or tetramethylbenzidine in the presence of hydrogen peroxide [27].
  • Quantitative determination of myeloperoxidase using tetramethylbenzidine as substrate [28].
