We have developed a highly sensitive stain for visualizing proteins in polyacrylamide gels. Our modification of the procedure for de Olmos' neural, cupric-silver stain is 100 times more sensitive than the conventional Coomassie blue stain (e.g., detection of 0.38 vs 38 ng/mm2of serum albumin), and is comparable to the sensitivity attained with an autoradiogram of14C-methylated proteins following a 5-day exposure. This silver stain will be especially useful for analysis of patterns of proteins from tissue where attainment of the high specific activity of isotope labeling which is necessary to detect minor protein components is expensive, technically difficult or, as in humans, prohibited. In preliminary results with material such as unconcentrated cerebrospinal fluid, the silver stain revealed a complex pattern of proteins not visible with Coomassie blue.
