Examples "nonspecific enteritis" Used in print (A. N. Nagaraj and L. M. Black, "Localization of...)A red filter , Zeiss barrier filter with the code ( Schott ) designation BG 23 , was also used in the ocular lens assembly as it improved the contrast between specific and nonspecific fluorescence . This specific fluorescence was readily distinguished from the light_green nonspecific fluorescence in consecutive sections stained with 1 : 10 dilution of NS and * * f or with * * f alone . Sections of crown_gall tissue similarly stained with either * * f and * * f or NS and * * f also showed only the light_green nonspecific fluorescence . However , the nonspecific staining by the * * f in tumor sections was considered bright enough to be confused with the staining of small amounts of WTV antigen . Treatment of all the sera with sweet_clover proteins greatly reduced nonspecific fluorescence , especially when the treated conjugate was diluted to 1 : 2 with 0.85 % saline . |
