Certain fluorescent dyes such as Blankophor have a high affinity for the b -glycosidically linked polysaccharides such as glucan and chitin, which are main the constituents of the fungal cell wall. Therefore, these fluorescent dyes can be used for screening clinical samples for the presence of fungal elements. This procedure can be performed using the following specimens: Nail, Skin, Bronchial alveolar lavage fluid, Sputum and Biopsies. - [Read Detection of Fungi by Fluorescence Microscopy Using Fluorescent Brighteners]
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can be efficiently introduced into Caenorhabditis elegans by microinjection into the gonad, the gut, or the body fluid. The RNAi effect will spread within the nematode, exerting an effect beyond the site of injection. - [Read Introduction of Double-Stranded RNA in C. elegans by Injection Protocol]
