The implication of alpha synuclein in neurodegenerative diseases started after the identification of non A beta component of amyloid (NAC peptide) in Alzheimeris disease (AD) brains.There is now a general group of synucleinopathies which implicates alpha synuclein in Lewy body syndromes, Parkinsonis disease, and Alzheimeris disease. Certain missense mutations in the alpha synuclein gene (A53T, A30P) have been linked to the familial Parkinsonis disease (PD). Alpha synuclein is the major component of Lewy bodies and Lewy neuritis in sporadic PD, dementia with Lewy Bodies and Lewy Body variant of AD. Lewy bodies are composed of truncated and phosphorylated intermediate neurofilament proteins, alpha synuclein, ubiquitin and associated enzymes. The synuclein phosphoproteins (15-20 kD) are small highly conserved proteins in vertebrates. The synuclein family includes alpha and beta synucleins and loosely related gamma synuclein and synoretin.The expression is abundant in neurons and typically localized at presynaptic terminals. Antibodies to alpha synuclein provide a specific method to detect Lewy bodies and associated pathological mechanism of PD and AD.

Trypan Blue is a blue acid dye with a strong affinity for cellulose containing substrates such as cotton; less affinity for proteinaceous materials. Trypan blue solution may be used in trypan blue based cytotoxicity and proliferation assays.
Trypan Blue is used as a vital dye which is especially important because it is taken up by the reticuloendothelial system. Clark describes assays for the study of teratogenic action of trypan blue on embryonic tissues using Davis and Sauter's fluorescence method and for the staining of collagen, including very fine fibrils, muscle and cornified epithelium using the Van Gieson method. Trypan blue is also recommended for use in dye exclusion procedures for viable cell counting. Non-viable cells will up-take trypan blue at a faster rate than viable cells.
