We carried out a high-resolution ultrastructural analysis of the nucleolus in mouse P815 cells by combining specific DNA and RNA staining, anti-fibrillarin immunolabeling, contrast enhancement by energy filtering TEM and phosphorus mapping by ESI to visualize nucleic acids. We demonstrated that specifically contrasted DNA, fibrillarin and phosphorus overlap within the nucleolar dense fibrillar component. Moreover, we describe a ‘DNA cloud’ consisting of an inner core of DNA fibers (fibrillar center) and a periphery made of extremely thin fibrils overlapping the anti-fibrillarin immunolabeling (dense fibrillar component). This highly sensitive approach has allowed us to demonstrate, for the first time, the exact distribution of DNA within the decondensed interphase counterpart of the NOR, which includes both the fibrillar center and the dense fibrillar component.

A simple, rapid, and highly sensitive technique is described for the detection of endoglucanase and endoxylanase in isoelectric-focused gels. Agar substrate gels containing 0.1% carboxymethyl cellulose or xylan are prepared on GelBond® plastic film and placed in contact with an electrofocused gel containing the enzymes under study. Hydrolysis zones in substrate gels are visualized by staining with Congo red. As little as 1 ng of enzyme is detected in 5 min using this technique.
