Autoradiography
Autoradiography is a sensitive and simple method of recording
spatial distribution of radioisotope-labeled substances within a specimen
material. The radioisotopic emissions release energy to the sensitive silver
halide grains in the emulsion layer of the photographic film, thus forming
a latent image. When treated with a developing agent , the autoradiograms
yield visible density images which can be observed by the eye or measured
by a densitometer for precise analysis (1). Radioisotope-labeled samples
can be detected on polyacrylamide or agarose gels, nylon or nitrocellulose
membranes, or thin layer chromatography plates. Autoradiography is widely
used by scientists and researchers in the analysis of chemical mixtures,
recombinant
DNA
techniques applied to genetic marker mapping, genomic sequencing,
drug screening and plant fertilization studies.
