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.  相似文献

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。  相似文献

Mice were infected with Sendai virus and killed 8 days later. Lungs were removed and perfused with ethanol, 10% neutral formalin, Bouin's, B-5, or Zenker's fixatives. Tissues were dehydrated, embedded in paraffin, sectioned and stained for the presence of Sendai virus using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase-complex (ABC) and peroxidase antiperoxidase (PAP) immunocytochemical techniques. Results of these techniques were compared. The ABC technique was more sensitive than the PAP. Sendai antigen was demonstrated by the ABC technique in lung tissue fixed with any fixative, whereas antigen could be demonstrated with consistency only in ethanol-fixed lung by the PAP technique. Trypsin treatment of lung prior to immunoperoxidase treatment failed to enhance staining with either technique and actually caused a decrease in staining in ethanol, B-5 and Zenker's-fixed specimens.  相似文献

The staining efficiency of peroxidase labeled immunoglobulin conjugate, used either as antigen or as antibody, has been compared with that of peroxidase-anti-peroxidase complex (PAP) on ultrathin sections of araldite embedded material. The conjugate gave positive results in a two layer method as well as in a three layer method when used as antibody. No staining was observed when it was used as antigen. The conjugation seemed to impair the antigenic reactivity of immunoglobulin. The conjugate when used as antibody in the three layer method gave approximately the same staining efficiency as PAP.  相似文献

The results of immunohistochemical staining vary depending on the tissue, fixative, antigen-antibody system, and immunohistochemical staining methods used. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different methods of fixation, different antigen-antibody systems, and different immunohistochemical methods on immunohistochemical staining of myocardium. Samples of normal fresh canine myocardium from six dogs were fresh frozen and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, Bouin's, Bayley's and Carnoy's fixatives. Immunohistochemical staining for myoglobin and creatine kinase M was performed using the ABC (avidin-biotin complex) and indirect peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) techniques. Tissues fixed in formalin showed the most intense specific staining for both antigens with the least background and nonspecific staining. All other fixation methods and frozen section techniques gave a more variable degree of specific positive staining and substantial background staining and/or nonspecific staining. ABC and PAP techniques gave similar results with both antigen-antibody systems and with each fixation method. Thus, no differences in specificity or sensitivity were observed between ABC and PAP techniques. Differences in staining intensity and pattern were related primarily to differences in fixation methods.  相似文献

Paired staining with the unlabeled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method and direct immunofluorescence (DIF) differentiated distinctly between gastrin- and somatostatin-producing cells in the human gastric antrum. Similar paired staining of complexed lambda and alpha chains in immunoglobulin (Ig)A myeloma cells, of kappa and free J chains in IgG myeloma cells, and of secretory IgA and its epithelial transport protein, the free secretory component (SC), in colonic crypt cells, demonstrated that PAP staining inhibits subsequent DIF staining of an antigenic determinant present on the same molecule as the antigen revealed by the brown color of diaminobenzidine (DAB) or present or an unassociated molecule in the same cell. A quenching effect of the DAB reaction product was noted for both fluorescein (green) and rhodamine (red) emissions. In addition, a blocking effect of the DAB deposits has been demonstrated and is assumed to be the principal methodological basis for the paired PAP-DIF staining approach omitting intermediate antibody elution, as well as for the more time-consuming sequential PAP staining with DAB substrate for the first and 4-chloro-1-naphthol (CN) for the second antigen. The quenching and blocking effects limit in practice the paired PAP-DIF method to the localization of antigens present in separate cells.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

Summary A combination of the PAP- and ABC-techniques was developed to enhance the intensity of the immunocytochemical staining with monoclonal antibodies at light and electron microscopical levels. This amplification technique could be performed in 4 (single PAP + ABC) or 6 (double PAP + ABC) sequential steps depending on the quality of the primary antibodies used and the processing of the tissue before the immunocytochemical reaction: First step — Incubation of the tissue sections with the monoclonal primary antibodies; Second step — biotinylated anti-rat or anti-mouse IgG; Third step — monoclonal PAP complex; Fourth step — ABC complex which binds to the biotinylated secondary antibody. If stronger enhancement of the immunostaining has required the steps 2 and 3 could be repeated followed by the 6th step — the ABC complex. Choline acetyltransferase-like immunoreactivity of the rat hypoglossal nucleus and desmin- and vimentin-like immunoreactivity of human testis were studied. After the 4-and more pronounced the 6-step reaction a significant increase of the staining intensity was observed for all the reactions under study. ChAT-like immunoreactivity was observed to longer distances of the nerve cell dendrites after their emerging from the perikarya and within a greater number of structures in the neuropil as compared to the standard techniques. At electron microscopical level the technique permits longer fixation of the tissue which is important for the better preservation of the ultrastructure as well as for the easier recognition of the reaction product even in the smallest dendrite branches and the axons of the nerve cells. Stronger staining intensity was obtained for desmin-like immunoreactivity (LI) (within myofibroblasts of the lamina propria and muscle cells of the blood vessels)-and vimentin-LI (within Sertoli cells, myofibroblasts of the lamina propria and fibroblasts of the interstitium) of the human testis. The full combination (6 step-reaction) permits the detection of smallest quantities of an antigen in sections of different tissues using highly diluted primary antibodies. The technique represents a further alternative among the immunocytochemical amplification methods.  相似文献

Efficiency and sensitivity of indirect immunoperoxidase methods   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) complex method has repeatedly been claimed to be more sensitive and antibody efficient than the indirect peroxidase labeled antibody method. However, most studies comparing these methods used tissue sections as the test material. However, test systems with known amounts of antigen will allow more reliable comparison of these methods and quantitative evaluation of method sensitivity. We therefore compared the antibody efficiency and sensitivity of these methods for the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin in an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), an antigen spot test (AST) and tissue sections of choriocarcinoma. In the PAP technique rabbit PAP and goat anti-rabbit antibody were applied. The same antibody was peroxidase-labeled with the periodate technique and used in the labeled antibody method. In the ELISA the PAP method resulted in slightly higher antibody efficiency than the labeled antibody method. At low primary antibody dilutions the intensity of the reaction decreased with the PAP method but remained high with the labeled antibody method, in the ELISA as well as on tissue sections. In the AST the labeled antibody method and the PAP method appeared to be equally sensitive.  相似文献

We developed an immunohistochemical method for visualization of vitamin D (VDR) and estrogen receptors (ER) in cryostat sections, using monoclonal antibodies (MAb) to the vitamin D receptor and estrogen receptor, respectively. This method is based on an avidin-biotin labeling technique (LAB). To establish a reliable and sensitive method which can be used easily as a routine diagnostic procedure, we systematically compared four different immunoenzymatic methods with respect to their efficiency in detecting vitamin D and estrogen receptors. Compared to the indirect bridged avidin-biotin (IBRAB), the peroxidase- anti-peroxidase (PAP), and the avidin-biotin complex (ABC) methods, the LAB method produced stronger staining intensities and had higher detection efficiency for both vitamin D and estrogen receptors. In addition, the LAB method had a higher spatial resolution compared to the ABC technique in detection of VDR in normal human skin biopsies. In the case of steroid receptors, i.e., nuclear antigens, immunohistochemistry must deal with a relatively low number of antigenic sites per cell, restricted accessibility of the antigens, and slight differences in antigen concentrations among cells. Under these particular conditions, the chemical properties of the conjugates used in the LAB method may explain why it is superior to the other methods. Consequently, the LAB method is recommended for visualization of ER and VDR.  相似文献

We explored the possibility of simultaneous application of histochemical and immunohistochemical staining techniques on the same paraffin-embedded human tissue section. Conventional histological stains (PAS, Alcian, Alcian-PAS, Van Gieson, Gomori silver impregnation, and Giemsa) were used in association with a battery of markers (keratins, leucocyte common antigen, S-100 protein, Factor VIII-related antigen) that are widely employed in diagnostic and experimental studies. We found that the best procedure was to perform immunostaining before the histochemical reaction, as this enables all the other possible combinations to be carried out. In addition, several detection systems, such as peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP), alkaline phosphatase-anti-alkaline phosphatase (APAAP), and avidin-biotin complex (ABC), were tested and all gave consistent results. Some minor modifications of the histological staining methods were necessary, but the current immunohistochemical techniques could be used as established. Preliminary findings indicate that immunohistochemistry can be combined with histochemistry techniques by means of a relatively simple procedure whose only disadvantage is the time required to carry out the double staining.  相似文献

Direct (DIF) and indirect (IIF) immunofluorescence, indirect immunoperoxidase conjugate (IPC) and unlabelled antibody peroxidase antiperoxidase (PAP) staining was performed on sections of artificial substrate containing different concentrations of human immunoglobulin (Ig)A or IgG. Detection sensitivity, in terms of the lowest amount of discernible antigen, was evaluated by direct microscopy and by microphotometry. Staining efficiency (signal-to-noise ratio) was evaluated by microphotometry. Only minor differences in antigen detection sensitivity were found when IPC and PAP were compared with DIF and IIF under appropriate conditions. The sensitivity of DIF was only marginally improved by raised conjugate concentration and prolonged incubation time. Microphotometry of DIF on ethanol-fixed IgA substrate revealed that the staining intensity increased proportionally with the antigen concentration whereas on formaldehyde-fixed substrate a progressive masking of the antigen was indicated which, however, could be overcome by applying raised conjugate concentration and prolonged incubation time. Such antigenic self masking was of relatively little importance to IPC and PAP staining, probably because of the inherent amplification in these methods. An additional masking effect due to extraneous protein was revealed by DIF when ethanol-fixed sections had been soaked in bovine serum albumin and postfixed with formaldehyde; unmasking was achieved by proteolytic treatment of the sections.  相似文献

几种肥大细胞染色方法的比较   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
运用ABC—爱先蓝—PAS混合染色及PAP技术对大鼠肝、胃、肠及DAB诱发的大鼠肝癌中肥大细胞进行了染色对比实验,结果表明:Carnoy及福尔马林等固定液固定的组织内肥大细胞均能被爱先蓝染色成蓝色,其染色时间不同,该种染色方法可作为一种常规的染色方法,用于确定肥大细胞在组织中的分布及数量。ABC—爱先蓝—PAS混合染色方法及PAP技术均能准确、有效地确定肥大细胞(MC)性质。ABC—爱先蓝—PAS混合染色使结缔组织肥大细胞(CTMC)呈棕褐色,周边略蓝色。粘膜肥大细胞(MMC)则呈蓝色,通过不同颜色的显示,可清楚地将CTMC与MMC区分开来。PAP方法具更高的特异性。但有关的抗体来源缺乏,因此在无特异Ⅰ抗体的情况下,ABC—爱先蓝—PAS混合染色方法亦可视为鉴别两类不同性质MC的一种较为理想的方法。  相似文献

本文报道了一种新颖的抗原信号增强方法在免疫组织化学中的应用。该方法的特点是利用生物素标记的酪氨(BT)结合到HRP的催化位点上来达到增强信号的目的。本研究以冰冻切片及石蜡切片中ABC法为对照,结合微波和蛋白酶消化预处理,采用BT法检测了人扁桃体石蜡切片标本中淋巴细胞IgD的表达。结果表明该方法检测敏感性高,当一抗稀释至1:5000时仍能测得IgD的表达,与对照的ABC法相比,检测敏感性成百倍地提高。该方法能将原先只能用于冰冻切片的单抗IgD应用于石蜡切片中。本文还对该方法的可能机制进行了探讨。本研究提示BT法在病理检验和医学研究中有良好的应用前景。  相似文献

Purified rabbit antiserum to a tartrate-resistant and vanadate-sensitive acid phosphatase (nucleotide tri- and diphosphatase) prepared from rat bone was used in immunocytochemical studies. The antigen was localized in sections of fixed, decalcified tissue (head from rat) using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase bridge (PAP) or the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) technique. Both techniques resulted in similar and specific immunostaining in the following cells and tissues: osteoclasts situated in resorption lacunae, epithelium overlying enamel-free areas of tips of cusps of unerupted molars, cilia of respiratory epithelium, and tissue macrophages. This distribution corresponds to the cellular sites of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity, as revealed by enzyme histochemistry. With the ABC method, staining in osteoclasts was obtained with antiserum dilutions of up to 1:10,000. Biochemical studies revealed that vanadate-sensitive acid ATPase activity in liver subcellular fractions was almost exclusively confined to lysosomes. Thus, the immunostaining has revealed the presence of the tartrate-resistant and vanadate-sensitive nucleotide phosphatase in many cells associated with tissue resorption and phagocytosis.  相似文献

Two methods have been developed which permit use of the unlabeled antibody immunohistochemical technique for detection of human antibody, without the need for immunization of humans with peroxidase. Human antibody to herpes simplex virus (HSV) reacted with human cell cultures infected with HSV was the experimental system. In the first method an attempt was made to employ rabbit peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) soluble complexes in connectin with human antibody. This was done by sequential addition to the HSV-infected cells of (a) human anti-HSV, (b) rabbit antihuman globulin, (c) guinea pig antirabbit globulin (the bridging reagent) and (d) rabbit PAP. Strong specific staining of HSV-infected cells was obtained; however, difficulties were encountered with nonspecific reactions on uninfected cells. In the second method PAP soluble complexes prepared with baboon antiperoxidase were bridged to the human anti-HSV antibody by rabbit antihuman globulin. Because of the phylogenetic relatedness of human and baboon globulins this resulted in firm binding which gave strong specific staining of HSV-infected cells without significant reaction in uninfected cells.  相似文献

Double stains for gonadotropins and gonadotropin-releasing hormone were developed for fixed whole pituitary cells from cycling female rats. Monolayer cells were stimulated with [D-Lys6]GnRH, fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde, and then stained for luteinizing hormone (LH) (1:50,000-12 h) or follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) (1:60,000-12 h) and the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex technique (ABC) with a jet-black substrate (nickel intensified diaminobenzidine-DAB). This was followed by a stain for the other gonadotropin with either ABC or peroxidase-antiperoxidase complex (PAP) techniques and amber (DAB) or red (3-amino-9-ethyl-carbazole) substrates. Additional monolayers were stimulated with biotinylated [D-Lys6]GnRH and stained with the ABC technique and the black (nickel-DAB) substrate. These monolayers were then stained immunocytochemically for LH or FSH with either ABC or PAP methods and orange or red substrates. The controls showed that the omission of the second primary antiserum abolished the stain indicating that the second staining solutions did not react with components in the first group. The addition of the second peroxidase substrate in sequence after the first stain indicated that no residual peroxidase activity remained from the first stain. Our tests also showed that saponin was not needed to aid reagent or antibody penetration. The dual stains demonstrated that 50-60% of the gonadotropes stored LH and FSH together, often in separate regions of the same cell. Some cells contained only one hormone (20-22%). The dual stains for GnRH and gonadotropins demonstrated that 80-90% of the GnRH bound cells are gonadotropes. These techniques allow a study of storage sites for multiple hormones in or on whole cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
