ABSTRACT. Pádua S.B. & Ishikawa M.M. [Metachromasia for blood basophils identification in hybrid surubim catfish: methodological contribution]. Metacromasia para identificação de basófilos sanguíneos em surubim híbrido: contribuição metodológica. Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária, 33(3):147-150, 2011. Centro de Aquicultura da Unesp/Jaboticabal Rod. Paulo Donato Castellane, s/n Bairro Rural, Jaboticabal, 14884-900, SP. Brasil. E-mail: santiagopadua@live.com Different protocols of fixation and hydrolysis of blood smears of hybrid surubim catfish for metachromasia to marking blood basophils were evaluated. For this reason, methanol, acid-alcohol and formalin vapor were tested as fixatives. For hydrolysis of blood smears, HCl, citric acid and 2-Mercaptoethanol + Urea + NaCl solutions was evaluated. After procedures, the blood smears was stained with toluidine blue (0.025%) diluted in McIlvaine buffer (pH 4). The different protocols for fixation and hydrolysis of blood smears for metachromasia influenced the quality of the reaction. Hydrolysis with 2-Mercaptoethanol + Urea + NaCl solutions provided negative results when using methanol and acid-alcohol as fixatives. The fixation with acid-alcohol associated with citric acid hydrolysis provides highest quality reason.
O presente estudo avaliou diferentes protocolos de fixação e hidrólise das extensões sanguíneas de surubim híbrido para reação de metacromasia e marcação de basófilos sanguíneos. Para isso, metanol, álcool-ácido e vapor de formol foram testados como fixadores. Para hidrólise das extensões sanguíneas foi avaliado HCl, ácido cítrico e soluções de 2-Mercaptoetanol + Uréia + NaCl. Após estes procedimentos, as extensões foram submetidas à coloração com azul de toluidina (0,025%) diluída em tampão de McIlvaine (pH 4). Diferentes protocolos para fixação e hidrólise das extensões sanguíneas destinadas à reação de metacromasia influenciam na qualidade da reação. A hidrólise com soluções de 2-Mercaptoetanol + Uréia + NaCl proporcionaram resultados negativos quando utilizado metanol e álcool-ácido como fixadores. A fixação com álcool-ácido associada à hidrólise com ácido cítrico proporciona reações com melhor qualidade.
