VISUALIZING AGENT COMPRISING A JANUS GREEN B AND VISUALIZING METHOD BY USING THE SAME

摘要

A visualizing agent including a Janus green B and a visualizing method by using the same are provided to clearly visualize thread like structure by using the visualizing agent. A visualizing agent including a Janus green B uses for staining a Bonghan duct inside a lymphatic vessel. The visualizing agent is used for visualizing the Bonghan duct in situ or in vivo. The agent visualizes the Bonghan duct by heavier staining than other lymphatic tissue. The agent is a JGB containing solution. The JGB containing solution includes 0.01 to 10(w/v)% of JGB in ethyl alcohol or saline. A visualizing method by using the visualizing agent includes the steps of: injecting a Janus Green B(JGB)-containing solution into the lymphatic tissue to be stained; and conducting a microscopy observation. The microscopy observation is performed with a stereomicroscope, a light microscope, a confocal laser scanning microscope, or cryo scanning electron microscope.
