Immunogold silver staining for visualization of leptospires in histologic sections

Surface membrane staining of immunoglobulins in paraffin sections of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas using immunogold-silver staining technique.

The immunogold-silver staining (IGSS) method is a new immunostaining technique with much enhanced sensitivity for demonstration of antigens in paraffin sections. A series of 10 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of B cell type were stained for surface membrane immunoglobulins by the IGSS and peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) methods using paraffin sections and polyclonal primary antisera. The resulting stai...

Immunoperoxidase staining of leptospires.

Leptospires were detectable by light microscopy when Formalin-fixed preparations were reacted by direct and indirect methods with horseradish peroxidase-labeled specific antibody.

Immunogold silver staining associated with epi-fluorescence for cucumber mosaic virus localisation on semi-thin sections of banana tissues.

The immunogold-silver staining (IGSS) technique in combination with epi-fluorescence detection was used to localise cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) particles within banana infected tissues. For this purpose, tissue samples (2 mm3) were excised from CMV-infected and highly proliferating meristem cultures of Williams BSJ banana (ITC. 0570, AAA, Cavendish subgroup). These samples were immediately fixe...

Silver Staining of Spirochaetes in Single Tissue Sections.

A reliable method for simultaneous demonstration of two antigens using a novel combination of immunogold-silver staining and immunoenzymatic labeling.

We have developed a reliable and sensitive immunohistochemical staining technique which allows the simultaneous demonstration of two different antigens expressed in or on the same cell (referred to as mixed labeling), together with the evaluation of the general histopathological appearance of the tissue. The staining procedure combines a three-step (streptavidin-biotin) immunogold-silver staini...
