[Histonet] histochemistry- alanine aminotransferase -rat liver

[John Kiernan]

This enzyme is mentioned in a few places in Volume 
3 of Stoward & Pearse's Histochemistry (3rd edn, 
1991). A general method for aminotransferases is 
given on p.583. It is also necessary to read the 
explanatory material about the technique on pp 
173-176 and elsewhere. This is a rather involved 
technique, using two auxiliary enzymes, one of 
which may not be needed.

A Google Scholar search for
"alanine aminotransferase" histochem*
brings up 405 references. The ones at the top of 
the heap are papers in J. Histochem. Cytochem. in 
the 1980s. The full text of these papers (with 
illustrations) will be available as .pdf files, 
free for anyone in the world to download, at the 
journal's web site: http://www.jhc.org

Your email to Histonet (cited below) refers to lab 
   safety, standardization and other buzz-words. 
Are you asking how to do the histochemical method, 
or how to make safety regulations? If you are a 
researcher, you need to consult the books and 
internet resources mentioned above. If you are a 
safety officer, be assured that aminotransferase 
histochemistry involves no exposure to hazardous 
substances.
