  • It has been employed in a study to explain the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic plant cell walls to enzymatic degradation.
  • It has been used to develop a novel method to improve sensitivity for the localization of miRNA and their target transcripts in plants.
  • It has been used to study the correlation of cytoplasmic ADP-ribosylation levels with markers of patient outcome in human cancers.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fixation with HistoChoice® works well in immunohistology applications where its non-cross-linking traits are conducive to epitope retrieval and identification by primary antibodies to extracellular matrix components.
