In 1956 selenium was identified (123) as an essential micronutrient iu nutrition. In conjunction with vitamin E, selenium is effective iu the prevention of muscular dystrophy iu animals. Sodium selenite is adrninistered to prevent exudative diathesis iu chicks, a condition iu which fluid leaks out of the tissues white muscle disease iu sheep and infertility iu ewes (see Eeed ADDITIVES). Selenium lessens the iacidence of pneumonia iu lambs and of premature, weak, and stillborn calves controls hepatosis dietetica iu pigs and decreases muscular inflammation iu horses. White muscle disease, widespread iu sheep and cattle of the selenium-deficient areas of New Zealand and the United States, is insignificant iu high selenium soil areas. The supplementation of animal feeds with selenium was approved by the U.S. EDA iu 1974 (see Eeed additives). Much of selenium s metaboHc activity results from its involvement iu the selenoproteia enzyme, glutathione peroxidase.

Phenol, the simplest and industrially more important phenolic compound, is a multifunctional monomer when considered as a substrate for oxidative polymerizations, and hence conventional polymerization catalysts afford insoluble macromolecular products with non-controlled structure. Phenol was subjected to oxidative polymerization using HRP or soybean peroxidase (SBP) as catalyst in an aqueous-dioxane mixture, yielding a polymer consisting of phenylene and oxyphenylene units (Scheme 19). The polymer showed low solubility it was partly soluble in DMF and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and insoluble in other common organic solvents.

Figure 8.1 The results of IHC of two experiments using Dynabeads (Dynal, New York, NY) coated with biotinylated anti-mouse IgG (first experiment) and protein S-100 (second experiment), (a) Positive control showing red color (S-100) localized in the melanoma cells, (b) Strong positive red color circles all beads coated with biotinylated anti-mouse antibody after the heating AR treatment (first experiment), (c) Using the heating AR treatment, S-100-coated polymer beads show positive red color around the beads as circles (second experiment), (d) Negative control of the first experiment. No red color could be seen for polymer beads (arrows) that had been treated with exactly the same protocol as that of slide (b), but omitting the avidin-biotin-peroxidase (label). Bar = 50pm.

The utility of a process control was demonstrated by constructing a series of slides containing mouse and rabbit serum. Five rows of a series of dilutions of each species were applied to slides, and these were then stained in mixed cocktails of goat anti-rabbit and goat anti-mouse secondary antibody, followed by routine peroxidase-DAB visualization steps. The mixed cocktails were constructed as variable mixtures to demonstrate the ability to detect lack of sensitivity of either of the cocktail components. The results of this study were published in abstract form.15 Clearly, this approach can provide a way to monitor changes in secondary antibody cocktails, either due to manufacturing variables or differential aging of components within the cocktail (Fig. 10.5).
