Immunogold-silver staining method for light and electron microscopic detection of lymphocyte cell surface antigens with monoclonal antibodies

We used the immunogold-silver staining method (IGSS) for detection of lymphocyte cell surface antigens with monoclonal antibodies in light and electron microscopy and compared this procedure with the immunogold staining method. Two different sizes of colloidal gold particles (5 nm and 15 nm) were used in this study. Immunolabeling on cell surfaces was visualized as fine granules only by IGSS in light microscopy. The labeling density (silver-gold complexes/cell) and diameters of silver-enhanced gold particles on cell surfaces were examined by electron microscopy. Labeling density was influenced not by the enhancement time of the physical developer but by the size of the gold particles. However, the development of shells of silver-enhanced gold particles correlated with the enhancement time of the physical developer rather than the size of the colloidal gold particles. Five-nm gold particles enhanced with the physical developer for 3 min were considered optimal for this IGSS method because of reduced background staining and high specific staining in the cell suspensions in sheep lymph. Moreover, this method may make it possible to show the ultrastructure of identical positive cells detected in 1-micron sections counterstained with toluidine blue by electron microscopy, in addition to the percentage of positive cells by light microscopy.     

Light microscopic localization of silver-enhanced liposome-entrapped colloidal gold in mouse tissues

Silver-enhanced liposome-entrapped colloidal gold was developed for light microscopic localization of liposomes. Preparation of colloidal gold entrapped in liposomes was achieved by a modified method of Hong, et al. (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 732, 320-323). In this report, a gold chloride/citrate solution of low pH (3.4) was used to inhibit the formation of gold granules during the liposome preparation. The diameter of most liposomes ranged from 80 to 100 nm. Following liposome preparation, the pH was adjusted to 6, and the temperature increased to 55 degrees C. The majority of the liposomes contained one to three gold particles. Liposomes were injected into mice via tail vein; 24 h later, tissues were collected. Sections were processed for silver enhancement of the gold particles and examined by light microscopy. Silver-enhanced gold particles were clearly observed in both liver and implanted tumor. Localization was confirmed by electron and fluorescence microscopy. Thus, we have shown that silver enhancement of colloidal gold liposomes is a direct and sensitive method for tracing the fate of liposomes in vivo, providing minimal background interference and a good definition of various cell types.     

Signal amplification on planar and gel-type sensor surfaces in surface plasmon resonance-based detection of prostate-specific antigen

This article describes surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), comparing amplification with colloidal gold (10nm diameter) and latex microspheres (120 nm diameter) on planar- and gel-type sensor surfaces. As matrix, 3% BSA in PBS was used. Experimental data were compared with model calculations that predict the SPR signal that results from covering of the different sensor surfaces with each of the particles used. Amplification with latex particles gave a higher signal than did that with colloidal gold. However, the limit of detection (LOD) attained by latex amplification was not as good as that obtained after gold amplification, and this was unexpected. LOD and sensitivity of the amplified PSA assays when performed with the planar-type sensor disc were equally good or better compared with those when performed with the gel-type sensor disc. Indirect evidence indicates a restricted accessibility of the gel layer on the gel-type sensor toward the colloidal gold. Application of colloidal gold led to a sensitivity increase of approximately three orders of magnitude compared with nonamplified detection. The corresponding LOD was approximately 0.15 ng PSA/ml, which is sufficient for measuring enhanced, clinically relevant PSA levels (>4 ng/ml).

Cationic colloidal gold--a new probe for the detection of anionic cell surface sites by electron microscopy

Particles of colloidal gold were coated with poly-L-lysine to prepare cationic colloidal gold. Monodispersed colloidal gold with a particle diameter of 5, 8, or 15 nm and poly-L-lysine with a molecular weight of 350,000 or 1500-8000 were used. The resulting complexes were used to label red blood cell membranes. The labeling was sensitive to neuraminidase treatment or acid hydrolysis, demonstrating that cationic colloidal gold binds preferentially to anionic cell surface constituents. Cationic colloidal gold can be used at physiological pH values and ionic strength, as well as at low pH values, making it a flexible probe for detection of anionic cellular components.     

Analysis of colloidal gold probes by isoelectric focusing in agarose gels

Colloidal gold particles of different size (3-20 nm in diameter) were prepared by tannic acid-citrate and citrate reduction methods. From these colloids, different probes were prepared using sheep anti-rabbit antiserum, sheep anti-rabbit IgG, bovine serum albumin, polyethylene glycol, and protein A as the primary stabilizers and polyethylene glycol and/or bovine serum albumin as secondary and tertiary stabilizers, in different combinations. The probes were analyzed by isoelectric focusing in agarose gels, which allow the migration of particles in the size range 3-20 nm. (P. Sewer and S. J. Hayes, 1986, Anal. Biochem. 158, 72-78). Isoelectric focusing revealed that the surface charge of colloidal gold probes is dependent upon the size of the gold particle, the reduction method used, the primary ligand, and the pH at which this is adsorbed, as well as upon the secondary and tertiary stabilizers used. It is proposed that such differences in surface charge may underlie the different results which may sometimes be observed in colloidal gold labeling, especially when novel ligands are used.     

Simplified purification and testing of colloidal gold probes

A novel efficient method for purifying and testing colloidal gold probes has been developed. The method consists of concentrating colloidal gold particles conjugated to IgG or protein A in dialysis bags over silica gel and purifying them by gel chromatography on small columns of Sephacryl S-400. Fractions collected are tested by paper immunocytochemical models. Comparisons to gold probes purified by conventional ultracentrifugation documents that ultrastructural staining intensities and total yield of gold probes is the same, but that the chromatographically purified gold probes are less prone to aggregation or clumping. The method has been extensively used for preparing conjugates of 5, 10 or 15 nm gold particles with antirabbit immunoglobulins but has also been exploited for preparing streptavidin-gold conjugates, protein A-gold conjugates and antirabbit immunoglobulin-silver conjugates.

A review of the potential and versatility of colloidal gold cytochemical labeling for molecular morphology.

In the present article we review several postembedding cytochemical techniques using the colloidal gold marker. Owing to the high atomic number of gold, the colloidal gold particles are electron dense. They are spherical in shape and can be prepared in sizes from 1 to 25 nm, which renders this marker among the best for electron microscopy. In addition, because it can be bound to several molecules, this marker has the advantage of being extremely versatile. Combined to immunoglobulins or immunoglobulin-binding proteins (protein A), it has been applied successfully in immunocytochemistry. Colloidal gold particles 5-15 nm in size are excellent for postembedding cytochemistry. Particles of smaller size, such as 1 nm, must be silver enhanced to be visualized by transmission electron microscopy. We have elected to review the superiority of indirect immunocytochemical approaches using IgG-gold or protein A-gold (protein G-gold and protein AG-gold). Lectins or enzymes can be tagged with colloidal gold particles, and the corresponding lectin-gold and enzyme-gold techniques have specific advantages and great potential. Using an indirect digoxigenin-tagged nucleotide and an antidigoxigenin probe, colloidal gold technology can also be used for in situ hybridization at the electron microscope level. Affinity characteristics lie behind all cytochemical techniques and several molecules displaying high affinity properties can also be beneficial for colloidal gold electron microscopy cytochemistry. All of these techniques can be combined in various ways to produce multiple labelings of several binding sites on the same tissue section. Colloidal gold is particulate and can easily be counted; thus the cytochemical signal can be evaluated quantitatively, introducing further advantages to the use of the colloidal gold marker. Finally, several combinations and multiple step procedures have been designed to amplify the final signal which renders the techniques more sensitive. The approaches reviewed here have been applied successfully in different fields of cell and molecular biology, cell pathology, plant biology and pathology, microbiology and virology. The potential of the approaches is emphasized in addition to different ways to assess specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of results.
