Abstract: | An immunoperoxidase study of the localization of insoluble antigens was carried out on the rat bone marrow cells. The effect of different fixatives and inhibitors of endogenous peroxidase on the cell ultrastructure and the preservation of immunoreactivity of the cell antigens. The best results were obtained while fixing with 1% paraformaldehyde and 0.05% glutaraldehyde mixture added with 0.5 saponin and using 10% acetic acid as an inhibitor of endogenous peroxidase. Differences were found in the localization of antigens and the intensity of immunoperoxidase staining in cells of different lines of differentiation and degree of maturity. |
