Description | Congo Red (Direct Red 28) is an azo dye. It binding been used as a diagnostic test for the presence of amyloid in tissue sections. |
In vitro | Congo Red histochemical stain may serve as a simple tool to investigate if the aggregates in mutant cells have misfolded β-pleated sheet secondary structures[1]. Congo Red histochemical dye is able to bind specifically to crossed β-pleated sheet structures. Wild-type HSPB1 should maintain protein homeostasis by binding proteins in non-native conformations, thereby preventing substrate aggregation. The T139M mutant, however, fails in this function and results in an accumulation of misfolded proteins, which are targeted by Congo Red for intercalating between the β-pleated sheet structures. |
