Antibodies against neuroactive amino acids and neuropeptides. II. Simultaneous immunoenzymatic double staining with labeled primary antibodies of the same species and a combination of the ABC method and the hapten-anti-hapten bridge (HAB) technique.

In the present study we developed an immunoenzymatic double staining technique allowing the simultaneous detection of two neuroactive substances with primary antibodies of the same species and their simultaneous visualization in semithin sections of epoxy-embedded material. For this purpose, primary antibodies against glutamate, GABA, and serotonin were either biotinylated or labeled with the trinitrophenyl (TNP) group. The latter was visualized by a detection system here referred to as the hapten-anti-hapten bridge (HAB) technique. The HAB technique consists of anti-TNP antibodies, serving as bridges between the TNP-ylated primary antibody, and a TNP-ylated marker enzyme, such as alkaline phosphatase. The single components of the HAB technique were optimized by use of a dot-blot assay and an "artificial tissue" system. The optimal staining sequence consisted of TNP-ylated primary antibody with a molar TNP:antibody ratio of 12:1, followed by anti-TNP antibody and TNP-ylated alkaline phosphatase (molar TNP:enzyme ratio of 20:1). No further improvement of detection sensitivity could be obtained when soluble immunocomplexes between anti-TNP antibody and TNP-ylated alkaline phosphatase on the side of phosphatase excess were prepared and used instead of simple TNP-ylated alkaline phosphatase. When compared with other established procedures, such as avidin-conjugated alkaline phosphatase or the ABC method, the HAB technique revealed a similar detection sensitivity. The TNP-ylated primary antibody, however, had to be used at higher concentration than the corresponding unlabeled primary antibody. The suitability of the HAB technique in combination with a modified three-step ABC technique for the simultaneous demonstration of glutamate-like and GABA-like immunoreactivity in the rat brain was demonstrated. The advantages of the new technique in comparison with existing double staining methods are discussed.     

Identification of oestrogen receptors in cells of paraffin-processed breast cancers by IGSS

Summary Oestrogen receptor (ER) analysis of breast cancers by the standard dextran coated charcoal (DCC) method and the oestrogen receptor immunocytochemical assay (ERICA), shows that ERICA is more sensitive. We find that the immunogold-silver staining technique (IGSS), which is used on paraffin sections, is applicable to the ERICA antibody and that the DCC and IGSS methods have comparable sensitivity. Reasons for wishing to develop an improved method for oestrogen receptor localisation in paraffin sections and its advantages are given.     

Conditions for the immunohistochemical demonstration of complement factor C3 in formaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded renal tissues

Paraffin sections of formaldehyde-fixed renal biopsies were labeled for complement C3 by a polyclonal rabbit antibody to human complement C3, by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase complex (PAP) and the avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (ABC) techniques, respectively. All tissues had C3 deposits according to direct immunofluorescence on fresh frozen sections. Staining for muramidase was introduced as an intrinsic control for the degree of tissue proteolysis after the necessary trypsin digestion prior to the immunoenzyme labeling. The results indicated that even minute deposits of C3 could be detected in paraffin sections by the ABC method, which was more sensitive than the PAP technique; the ABC method allowed a maximal dilution of 1:2,400 of the primary antibody as compared to 1:800 for the PAP technique.     

免疫酶双重染色中抗体洗脱的进一步研究

本实验进一步检查了三种常用的洗脱方法从切片上除去免疫酶组织化学染色后的抗体的效果。结果表明,PAP法染色后,氧化法的抗体洗脱完全,效果可靠;酸洗法和酸洗/二甲基甲酰胺法的效果视不同抗体而不同,二甲基甲酰胺单用或用于酸洗后似无效。所用方法均不能从ABC法染色的垂体组织切片上完全除去抗体复合物。因之,将ABC法用于第一抗体来源于同一动物种的双重染色中,来显示第一种抗原时,要特别注意排除假性双标记。     

The unlabeled antibody method: comparison of peroxidase-antiperoxidase with avidin-biotin complex by a new method of quantification

Upon plotting of areas against optical densities in immunocytochemically stained tissue sections, hyperbolic curves were obtained which could be reduced to two straight lines, one representing variations in stained structures, and the other variations in background. The slopes of the stained structure lines reflected staining intensity independently of total area of stained structure in a section. The ratio of slopes of the stained structure and background lines reflected immunocytochemical sensitivity. A comparison of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method with the avidin-biotin complex (ABC) method showed that at usual antibody dilutions the PAP method was much more sensitive than the ABC method, while at impractically high antibody dilutions it was moderately more sensitive. Once sufficient dilutions of antibodies were reached, staining intensities dropped sharply with the PAP method. On the other hand, the dilution curves were flat with the ABC method. The ABC method consequently appeared unsuitable for estimating variations in concentration of antigen or for distinguishing high or low concentrations of antigen. The ABC method provided a stain for myelin even in the absence of any antibodies.     

Tissue distribution and ultrastructure of B lymphocytes reacting with the monoclonal antibody anti-Y29/55

The reactivity of normal tonsilar cells with the monoclonal antibody anti-Y29/55 is characterized at the tissue and ultrastructural cytological level. Using an indirect immuno-alkaline phosphatase method on frozen sections the antibody labels mantle zone and germinal center lymphocytes. This staining reaction is more generalized in B-lymphocyte areas than that obtained with antibodies to IgM and IgD. By indirect immunoperoxidase staining, as well as by an indirect rosetting procedure in cell suspensions, the reactive cell population were either small resting lymphocytes or activated lymphocytes corresponding to centrocytes, centroblasts, immunoblasts and plasmoblasts; some plasma cells were also labeled. These results characterize the monoclonal antibody anti-Y29/55 as a pan-B-marker antibody, useful for labeling resting and activated peripheral B-lymphocytes in frozen tissue sections and cell suspensions.     

Detection of purine nucleoside phosphorylase in paraffin sections by the immunoperoxidase method

A method is described for immunohistochemical demonstration of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP: EC 2.4.2.1) in paraffin sections from routine surgical histology specimens. A peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method was employed, using specific rabbit antiserum against human PNP, which was purified from postmature human erythrocytes. In human lymph nodes, intensive staining for PNP was observed in the vast majority of small lymphocytes in paracortical areas, in many small lymphocytes in medullary cords, and in a few small-to medium-sized lymphocytes in germinal centers. Small lymphocytes in the primary follicles and those in the mantle zones of secondary follicles were negative for PNP staining. Tingible body macrophages, lymphatic sinus cells, and most of the large cells in germinal centers did not stain with anti-human PNP (hPNP) antibody. Endothelial cells of small vessels in the cortex and plasma cells did not show any constant pattern of PNP staining intensity. Histochemistry revealed that the distribution pattern of PNP activity was quite similar to that demonstrated on paraffin sections by the PAP method.

Versatility of anti-horseradish peroxidase antibody-gold complexes for cytochemistry and in situ hybridization: preparation and application of soluble complexes with streptavidin-peroxidase conjugates and biotinylated antibodies.

In previous studies we have employed a gold-labelled, affinity-purified polyclonal antibody against horseradish peroxidase (anti-HRP--gold) in the avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (ABC) technique and indirect labelled avidin-biotin methods. The gold-labelled antibody was used as final revealing reagent to replace the 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) reaction by immunogold silver staining. The anti-HRP--gold reagent proved to be advantageous since blocking of endogenous peroxidase activity in the tissue sections was not further required and staining of superior contrast and resolution could be achieved in paraffin sections. In the present study we have optimized this technique by combining the last two incubation steps, i.e. HRP-conjugated streptavidin and anti-HRP--gold. Different ratios of the two reagents were tested empirically to establish the conditions for the formation of a soluble complex with optimal staining properties. Quantitative evaluation by densitometry of the staining intensity showed that the soluble streptavidin-HRP/anti-HRP--gold complex and the indirect labelled avidin-biotin method employing the gold-labelled anti-HRP antibody performed equally well. Thus, the availability of this complex simplifies the streptavidin-biotin immunogold technique for immunohistochemistry, lectin histochemistry and in situ hybridization and further demonstrates the versatility of anti-HRP--gold complexes.
