Description

Celestine Blue is a reactive dye that has been used in the preparation of biological samples for electron microscopy. It has been shown to bind to cell nuclei, and to be reactive with human serum. Celestine Blue is also used for the detection of anti-nuclear antibodies in CD-1 mice. The linear calibration curve may be obtained by plotting the redox potentials against the logarithm of concentration. The kinetic constant can be determined from the slope of this curve and is dependent on the binding reaction and its rate constants. This dye has been used as an indicator for ventricular myocardium injury in humans, where it binds to myocardial cells and stains them blue at low concentrations, but not at high concentrations.
