Congo Red is an azo dye. Congo Red (CR) binding been used as a diagnostic test for the presence of amyloid in tissue sections.
Congo Red histochemical stain may serve as a simple screening tool for investigating if the aggregates in mutant cells have misfolded β-pleated sheet secondary structures. Congo Red histochemical dye has the ability 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. 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].

Cell experiment: | HeLa cells are selected for these studies due to their large cytoplasmic volume. Cells transfected with mutant or wild-type HSPB1 constructs are grown on coverslips for 24 hr and then are stained with Congo red to determine if the aggregates display amyloidogenic properties. Briefly, cells are first fixed with 10% formalin for 10 min and stained with 1% Congo red for 5 min, followed by destaining with 0.01% potassium hydroxide in 50% ethanol. Coverslips are then passed through graded ethanol concentrations for dehydration and mounted in a mounting medium and examined by fluorescent microscopy under rhodamine filter[1]. |

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |

Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.
Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
