Recently, the Acridine orange (AO) staining method has improved for identification of malaria parasites. Fixed and preserved blood smears of malaria patients were used for comparative analysis of AO and Giemsa stains. The AO staining method required less time and was more sensitive under lower magnification than the Giemsa staining method . The AO staining method provides an alternative to Giemsa for malaria diagnosis in the field and laboratory.

A method on the determination of caffeine in beverage with acridiene orange-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (CD) inclusion complex was developed. The conditions such as pH of the sample solution and concentration of acridine orange and ${\beta}$-CD were optimized to 12.0(${\pm}0.5$), $1.9{\times}10^{-6}M$ and $1.25{\times}10^{-3}M$, respectively. Under these optimum conditions, the calibration curve of caffeine was obtained over concentration range of $5{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}1.1{\times}10^{-3}M$. The detection limit was $1.0{\times}10^{-5}M$. The relative errors(%) in beverage samples were less than 5.0%.

Acridine orange를 이용한 염색법은 OECD guideline 474에 채택되어 널리 사용되고 있는 염색법으로 Giemsa를 이용하였을 때 보다 artifact를 구별하기 쉬우며 숙련되지 않는 관찰자도 쉽게 소핵을 구별할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 시험에서는 신약의 초기 screening단계에서 유전독성여부를 알아보기 위한 방법으로 마우스 골수세포와 말초혈액을 이용하여 Geimsa와 Acridine orange염색법을 비교하였다. (중략)

Firstly, we compared the two staining techniques, Giemsa and Acridine orange, to determine micronuclei on samples of cultures of five healthy human peripheral blood lymphocytes after ${\gamma}-irradiation\;(^{137}Cs)$ in dose ranges of 0 to 800cGy. It was found that the Acridine orange staining method gives more reliable results than the usual Giemsa staining method in micronucleus tests. Moreover, the frequency of micronuclei in cytokinesis-blocked human B-lymphocytes was studied after in vitro irradiation in dose ranges of 0 to 50cGy. After setting and separating the B-lymphocytes, the frequency of radiation-induced micronuclei were observed as the end-point markers for the low-dose radiation dosimetry after staining with Giemsa and Acridine orange dyes. The micronuclei frequency in B-lymphocytes was significantly elevated from 10 to 30cGy ${\gamma}-irradiation$. The determination of micronuclei in B-lymphocytes after staining with Acridine orange was higher than that of Giemsa. The frequency of micronuclei in B-lymphocytes was observed to be at least two times higher than those of T-lymphocytes Giemsa in dose increasing. Therefore, the determination of low-dose radiation-induced micronuclei in B-lymphocytes after staining with Acridine orange is likely to have the greatest potential in the estimation of low dose radiation exposure.

The site of the synthesis of Japanese encephalitis virus(JEV) in the actinomycin-treated and infecter PS Y15 cells(a porcine kidney stable cell line) was observed by the immunofluorescent antibody technique, acridine orange staining, and the autoradiographic analysis. In the parallel studies by immunofluorescent technique and acridine orange staining it the infected cells, Viral protein(as an antigen) and viral RNA were detected at the same site of cytoplasm. In the autoradiographic analysis, the cytoplasmic labeling of $^3H$-uridine was due to the synthesis of JEV-RNA, while the nucleolus and nucleus were not involved. In the autoradiographic studies on the secton of infected cells, the $^3H$-uridine was frequently incorporated around the cytoplasmic vacuoles. This localization of labeling agreed with the site of acridine orange positive granules. The results suggest that the syntheses of the viral RNA and viral protein occurred in the similar site of cytoplasm of the infected cells, and also the virus particles seem to be assembled in the sites of the viral RNA and protein syntheses.

SS cream and its revised formula, CJ-4001 is topical Chinese herbal drugs for premature ejaculation. To evaluate the genotoxic potentials of these drugs, micronucleus test using Acridine orange (AO) staining method was performed. Acridine orange (AO) staining is adopted in OECD guideline 474 and widely used in micronucleus test. In dose range finding study, no mouse was dead at 2000 mg/kg using single treatment subcutaneously. Therefore, 3 dose levels were chosen at 500, 1000, 2000 mg/kg. (omitted)

The morphological hetergeneity of lipopolysaccharides(LPSs) and variation in the O-side chain lengths of LPSs of Salmonella pullorum, which was serially subcultured on the brain heart infusion agar containing $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of acridine orange, was analyzed in Sephadex G-50 column chromatography and silver-stained polyacrylamide gels. The biochemical differences in LPS W and LPS A0150 were identified. Increases in the contents of O-polysaccharides of LPS A0150 than those of LPS W were reflected in the profiles of chromatography and silver-stained polyacrylamide gels. In summary, LPS molecules of S pullorum A0150 appeared to be enriched in the molecules with long O-polysaccharide chains than those of LPS W.

피부 착색용 중성염료는 부착용 표지 방류가 어려운 자치어를 비롯한 소형어류 표지로 이용되어진다. 이 용도로 널리 이용되어지는 Neutral Red, Bismarck brown, Acridine orange, Sudan black과 Toludine blue로 실험실에서 실뱀장어를 염색하여 관찰한 결과, Sudan black은 염색이 되지 않았고, Toludine blue는 머리 부분만 염색되었으나 수 시간 내에 탈색 되었다. Acridine orange는 1/50,000 농도에 노출하였을 때 24시간 후 100％가 사망하였다. (중략)

Spectroscopic studies have been carried out on the metachromatic behavior of methylene blue(MB) and acridine orange(AO) in the presence of chondroitin sulfate A(CSA) and chondroitin sulfate C(CSC). The characteristic changes of the meta-band with the changes of P/D value are discussed in terms of the stacking theory. Quantitative studies on the stacking effect are made to calculate the number of bound molecules of dye per unit molecule of the polyanion. The result shows that MB has stronger stacking effect than AO. A stacking model and the dimension of the bound dyes on the surface of the polyanion are proposed, on the basis of the dimer model of planar aromatic dyes and the most stable conformation of the CSA chain. The model is found to be reasonable in accordance with the experimental results.

Spectroscopic studies have been carried out on the metachromatic behavior of methylene blue(MB) and acridine orange(AO) in the presence of polyvinylsulfate(PVS) and polystyrenesulfonate(PSS) The characteristic changes of meta-band with the change of P/D value are discussed in terms of stacking theory. It has been found that the stacking effect in the PVS-dye system is stronger than that in the PSS-dye system and that MB shows stronger stacking effect than AO. A stacking model and dimension of bound dyes on the surface of polymer chain is proposed on the basis of the previously suggested model of dimer found in the aqueous solution of planar aromatic dyes. The proposed model is found to be reasonable in accordance with the experimental results obtained by various workers.
