Application

3,3′-Diaminobenzidine has been used as a chromogen for the visualization in immunohistochemistry of chondrosarcoma sections, mammary carcinomas and brain tissue sections.
Peroxidase substrate; reagent for spectrophotometric determination of selenium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DAB (3,3′-Diaminobenzidine) is utilized in many applications for the visualization of peroxidase activity. In the peroxidase reaction, DAB serves as a hydrogen donor in the presence of peroxide. The oxidized DAB forms an insoluble brown end-product for use in the immunohistological and immunoblotting staining procedures.

Nitroblue Tetrazolium (NBT) is used with the alkaline phosphatase substrate 5-Bromo- 4-Chloro-3-Indolyl Phosphate (BCIP) in western blotting and immunohistological staining procedures. These substrate systems produce an insoluble NBT diformazan end product that is blue to purple in color and can be observed visually.
