Description of Congo Red

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].

Protocol of Congo Red

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].

In vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution) of Congo Red

Step 1: Enter information below (Recommended: An additional animal making an allowance for loss during the experiment)

mg/kg g μL

Step 2: Enter the in vivo formulation (This is only the calculator, not formulation. Please contact us first if there is no in vivo formulation at the solubility Section.)

% DMSO % % Tween 80 % ddH2O
%DMSO %

Calculation results:

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.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
