The present resolution (75-100 A) of the conventional scanning electron microscope (SEM) and its ability to image the surfaces of large numbers of whole cells in situ permit the approach of problems such as viral and cell surface antigen localization by immunological labeling with visual markers. Identification of virus and cell surface antigens in situ has been accomplished in indirect reactions by unconjugated markers. Hemocyanin (Hcy) from whelk, Busycon canniculatum, has been developed as an immunospecific marker for virion and cell surface labeling in the electron microscope. Its size (30 x 50 nm) and distinct cylindrical shape permit easy visualization in the SEM and the transmission electron microscope (TEM). The Hcy method involves the preparation of antisera to Hcy in appropriate hosts for use in an unlabeled antibody macromolecule procedure based exclusively on antigen-antibody affinity to couple the macromolecule to the antigen site. Further correlative data from fluorescence microscopy can be obtained from similarly labeled samples by binding fluorescein to the bridging antibodies used in the Hcy technique. The usefulness of the Hcy marker system was demonstrated by employing highly specific antisera to the major envelope and cell surface glycoprotein (gp70) of Rauscher murine leukemia virus (R-MuLV), a type C retrovirus. The antiserum was shown to bind to the virion and cell surfaces of virus-infected cells in the homologous virus-infected cell system. It also demonstrated the expression of R-MuLV gp70-related antigens on a murine cell line Mm5mt/c1 which produces mouse mammary tumor virus (MuMTV), a type B retrovirus. Furthermore, when used in the Hcy marker system the anti-gp70 serum was able to distinguish type B from type C budding virus on the same cell. Methods for the preparation of immunoreagents and labeling of cells are discussed. 相似文献

The potential of ultrasmall gold particles for the light microscopical detection of leukocyte cell surface differentiation antigens was investigated. Suspensions and cytocentrifuge preparations of peripheral blood leukocytes were first incubated with monoclonal antibodies and then with goat antimouse antibodies coupled to colloidal gold particles of 1-nanometer diameter. Cytocentrifuge preparations were made from the cell suspensions. Silver enhancement was performed on all preparations. Then they were counterstained with May-Grünwald Giemsa and examined in light microscopy. The immunostaining appeared as fine dark granules on the surface membrane of the cells. Labeling conditions were determined which gave a dense specific immunostaining and a low background. High dilutions of the ultrasmall gold probe could be used to detect all antigen expressing cells in the samples. The labeling efficiency of the IGSS method with the 1 nanometer probe was comparable to that described earlier for 5 nanometer gold particles. Lymphocyte subsets enumerated with this method in normal peripheral blood were similar to those found with immunofluorescence microscopy. We concluded that one nanometer probes do not offer a major advantage in comparison with 5 nanometer probes for the study of cell surface antigens. 相似文献

We describe here the ultrastructural localization of Giardia cyst antigens in the filaments associated with the outer portion of intact cysts and on developing cyst wall filaments in encysting trophozoites. Post-embedding immunogold labeling of thin sections of intact Giardia cysts with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies specific for cyst wall antigens (major protein bands of approximately 29, 75, 88, and 102 KD on Western blots) showed strong labeling of the filamentous cyst wall, whereas no labeling was seen on the membranous portion. High-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) of Giardia cysts revealed that the cyst wall-specific polyclonal rabbit antisera and monoclonal mouse antibody produced gold labeling of 20-nm filaments in the cyst wall as detected with secondary electron imaging (SEI) and backscatter electron imaging (BEI) at 10 kV, despite coating of the cells with platinum by ion sputtering. FESEM studies of encysting Giardia trophozoites demonstrated that immunostaining with antibodies to cyst wall antigens produced colloidal gold labeling of developing cyst wall filaments on the cell surface; however, the intervening membrane domains were unlabeled. Substitution of normal serum for cyst wall-specific antibodies, or preabsorption of specific antibodies with Giardia cysts, eliminated immunolabeling of the filaments. 相似文献

Synopsis The preparation and use of enzyme-labelled antibodies and antigens is described. First, the enzyme is linked covalently to the antibody or antigen. Next, the enzyme-labelled protein is allowed to react with the cellular antigen or antibody; and finally, the sites of bound enzyme are revealed with appropriate cytochemical staining techniques at either the light or electron microscopical levels.Because the specific activity of an enzyme can be assayed by appropriate enzymological techniques, enzyme-labelled antibodies can also be employed for measuring the amounts of cellular constituents. Similarly, enzyme-labelled antigens can be used for the quantitation of humoral antigens.In addition to the antigen-antibody reaction, enzyme markers can also be used for the quantitation and localization of other specifically interacting constituents. 相似文献

In order to dissect at the ultrastructural level the morphology of highly dynamic processes such as cell motility, membrane trafficking events, and organelle movements, it is necessary to fix/stop time-dependent events in the millisecond range. Ideally, immunoelectron microscopical labeling experiments require the availability of high-affinity antibodies and accessibility to all compartments of the cell. The biggest challenge is to define an optimum between significant preservation of the antigenicity in the fixed material without compromising the intactness of fine structures. Here, we present a procedure which offers an opportunity to unify preparation of cell monolayers for immunocytochemistry in fluorescence and electron microscopy. This novel strategy combines a rapid ethane-freezing technique with a low temperature methanol-fixation treatment (EFMF) and completely avoids chemical fixatives. It preserves the position and delicate shape of cells and organelles and leads to improved accessibility of the intracellular antigens and to high antigenicity preservation. We illustrate the establishment of this procedure usingDictyostelium discoideum,a powerful model organism to study molecular mechanisms of membrane trafficking and cytoskeleton. 相似文献

The distribution of the antigen localized by monoclonal antibody LICR-LON-E36 has been studied by means of light and electron microscopical immunocytochemical procedures on resin-embedded pituitaries from male and female rats. Using both immunoperoxidase and immunogold labeling techniques, the localization of LICR-LON-E36 has been compared with that obtained with antibodies against the beta subunit of rat luteinizing hormone (beta LH) and human follicle stimulating hormone (beta FSH), porcine adrenocroticotropic hormone (ACTH) and rat S-100. LICR-LON-E36 is localized in a portion of beta LH-containing cells in female rat pituitaries and where present both antigens are localized within the same storage granules. LICR-LON-E36 is rarely detectable within beta LH-containing cells of male rat pituitaries that also stain positively with anti-beta FSH antibodies. ACTH and S-100 were localized within different cell populations. 相似文献

A hapten-sandwich procedure has been used for immunospecific labeling of cell surface antigens with markers visible by scanning electron microscopy. Antihapten antibody was used to link hapten-modified tobacco mosaic virus, bushy stunt virus, or hemocyanin to hapten-modified human erythrocytes. The antihapten antibody bridge was also used to link the hapten-virus marker to hapten-modified antibodies against mammary tumor virus on mouse mammary tumor cells, or against immunoglobulin receptors on mouse splenic lymphocytes. In all cases, labeling was highly specific. With this technique, it is possible to (a) compare morphological features of cells bearing differing cell surface antigens, and (b) examine the arrangement of specific antigenic sites on a cell surface or their distribution relative to membrane structures such as microvilli. 相似文献

Antibody-induced antigenic modulation is antigen dependent: characterization of 22 proteins on a malignant human B cell line 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Expression of several of the surface antigens on normal and malignant hematopoietic cells is reduced or is modulated by incubation with specific antibodies. Although antigenic modulation provides a means by which cells can escape antibody-mediated immune destruction, the physiologic significance and frequency of this phenomenon are both poorly understood. To begin to address these issues, we identified and characterized surface antigens on the malignant B cell line Laz 221 established from a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Indirect immunofluorescence analysis with the use of 26 hematopoietic cell populations and immune precipitation studies with the use of iodinated ALL cells indicate that 163 monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) identify 22 different proteins on this cell line, including at least six previously described surface molecules. Seven of these antigens are expressed by all nucleated cells examined, whereas only the mu chain of immunoglobulin is B cell specific. Incubation of specific MoAb with cultures of Laz 221 cells at 37 degrees C reduces or modulates surface expression of five of these 22 antigens (p45, immunoglobulin mu chain, transferrin receptor, common ALL antigen (CD10), and p105). Studies that made use of multiple MoAb specific for the same antigen suggest that the capacity for antigenic modulation is an intrinsic property of individual antigens. These studies also suggest that the murine immune response to shared human antigens varies from one immunizing cell population to another. For example, three of the antigens present on Laz 221 cells were only identified by MoAb raised to the Burkitt's cell line Ramos and vice-versa. Only one of these six shared antigens is present in greater amounts on the immunogenic cell population. Immunogenicity of individual human antigens in the mouse may be a function of their cell surface environment. 相似文献

Determination of membrane antigens by a covalent crosslinking method with monoclonal antibodies 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Monoclonal antibodies that recognize cell surface proteins may serve as very useful tools for the study of the biological functions of membrane proteins. However, solubilization of the antigens with detergents may lead to major conformational changes of the protein, making their determination with monoclonal antibodies by immune blot or ordinary immunoprecipitation methods difficult. This is especially evident when the monoclonal antibodies recognize tertiary structures of the proteins in the membrane. We have generated two monoclonal antibodies which are specific for the cell surface antigens of multidrug-resistant human cell lines. However, the antigens of both monoclonal antibodies were difficult to detect by either immune blot or ordinary immunoprecipitation methods. We used a cleavable crosslinking reagent dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) to covalently link the monoclonal antibody with its antigenic determinant in the membrane of intact cells. By this method, we were able to detect the antigens for these two monoclonal antibodies following solubilization, immunoprecipitation, and analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This method should have wide applicability in determination of membrane antigens recognized by monoclonal antibodies when immune blot or ordinary immunoprecipitation methods are not successful. 相似文献

The spontaneous release of tumor cell antigens from the cell surface into the circulation has been proposed as a mechanism whereby tumors may escape the immune response of the host. In this study we have found that Ehrlich ascites tumor cells after removal from the host (mouse) spontaneously release significant amounts of cell surface components during incubation for 1 h in cold isotonic buffer. Immunodiffusion studies revealed that immunoglobulin G (IgG) and a complement component (C3) are included in this spontaneously released material. These surface-bound humoral immune components are apparently released in the form of a high-molecular-weight aggregate (cell coat particle) as shown by ultracentrifugation and ultrafiltration experiments. Precipitation of IgG from the cell coat particle preparation with antibodies directed against mouse IgG followed by detergent gel electrophoresis of the immune precipitate revealed five major bands in addition to the heavy and light chains of IgG. These results suggest that host IgG is tightly bound to several other components at the cell surface, perhaps in the form of immune complexes. IgG is localized on the tumor cell surface in a highly heterogeneous pattern with the appearance of patches and caps in some cells as shown by immuno-fluorescence analysis. The possibility that humoral immune components bind to the tumor cell surface and result in the shedding of high-molecular-weight aggregates of cell surface antigens into extracellular fluids is discussed. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies with group and type specificity for lipopolysaccharide antigens were used in combination with protein A-colloidal gold labeling and transmission electron microscopy to demonstrate the presence of lipopolysaccharide antigens on both the sheathed flagellum and the cell surface of Inaba and Ogawa strains of Vibrio cholerae O:1. Labeling was associated with the sheath of the flagellum rather than the core, and flagellar cores were not labeled. Flagellum and cell shared a common set of lipopolysaccharide antigens characteristic of the strain serotype. 相似文献

The 67 kDa laminin receptor (67LR), one of several cell surface laminin-binding proteins, is involved in the interactions between cancer cells and laminin during tumor invasion and metastasis. A 37 kDa polypeptide (37LRP), previously identified as the 67LR precursor, is abundantly present in the cytoplasm and has been implicated in polysome formation. To better understand the cellular localization of the 67LR and its precursor, transmission electron microscopic studies of human melanoma A2058 cells were carried out using immunogold labeling and a variety of antibodies: (a) affinity purified antibodies directed against 37LRP cDNA-derived synthetic peptides; (b) anti-67LR monoclonal antibodies raised against intact human small cell lung carcinoma cells; and (c) monoclonal antibodies against the subunits of the integrin laminin receptor, α6β1. Double-labeling immunocyto-chemistry revealed that anti-67LR monoclonal antibodies as well as anti-37 LRP antibodies recognized antigens that were localized in the cytoplasm in electron dense structures. As expected, cell membrane labeling was also observed. Surprisingly, α6 and β1 integrin subunits were detected in the same cytoplasmic structures positive for the 67LR and the 37LRP. After addition of soluble laminin to A2058 cells in suspension, the number of labeled cytoplasmic structures increased especially in the vicinity of the plasma membrane, and were exported onto the cell surface. Neither fibronectin nor BSA induced such an effect. The data demonstrate that the 67 LR and the 37 LRP antibodies detect colocalized antigens that are in cytoplasmic structures with α6β1 integrin. These laminin binding protein rich structures could potentially form a supply of receptors that are exported to the surface upon exposure of the cells to laminin, with a consequent increase in the number of binding sites for the ligand. This system could define a mechanism through which cancer cells modulate their interaction with laminin. 相似文献

The present study describes the ultrastructural localization of two important circulating schistosome antigens--the circulating anodic antigen (CAA) and the circulating cathodic antigen (CCA)--in livers of mice at various time intervals after infection with Schistosoma mansoni. For the demonstration of these antigens at the electron microscope level use was made of a direct, double immunogold labeling procedure, in which CAA-specific monoclonal antibodies, labeled with 5-nm gold particles, and CCA-specific monoclonal antibodies, labeled with 15-nm gold particles, were used. Both antigens were localized in granules and in inclusion bodies of Kupffer cells and granuloma macrophages and it was found that in these compartments the degree of 5- and 15-nm gold labeling increased with the duration of the infection. Sometimes gold particles were also encountered on the cell surface and in endocytotic vesicles of these cells, in endothelial cells, and in the space of Disse. From these data it was concluded that in the liver CAA and CCA were primarily accumulated in granules and inclusion bodies of Kupffer cells and granuloma macrophages. It is discussed whether at these locations both antigens are degraded by lysosomal enzymes and whether these antigens are complexed with antibodies. 相似文献

The preparation of monoclonal antibodies raised against antigens of salivary gland extracts of femaleRhipicephalus evertsi evertsi is reported. Nine hybridoma cell lines were established of which eight secreted IgG3 and one IgG1. The immune response was biased towards immunogens unique to the prefed stage of the tick salivary glands by prior cyclophosphamide suppression of the immune response against unfed tick salivary glands. Immunoblots of salivary gland antigens, separated by SDS-PAGE showed reactivity with three of the monoclonal antibodies, all of which had identical specificity for antigens unique to prefed salivary extracts. Each of these monoclonal antibodies identified two prominent bands with relative molecular masses corresponding to 23 and 46 and a third minor band with molecular mass of 70 kDa. 相似文献

Three immunohistochemical techniques used for ultrastructural localization of cell surface antigens were compared with respect to ease of reagent preparation and qualitative aspects of cell surface staining. The techniques compared were: (a) ferritin-conjugated antibody, (b) "hybrid" antibody and (c) a modification of the "bridging" technique which employs soluble immune complexes. Used in conjuction with strain MC29 avian oncornavirus-infected chick embryo cells and chicken antiviral immune serum, the results of all three techniques were comparable. In terms of ease of preparation, the "bridging" technique employing soluble complexes was found to be the most satisfactory. 相似文献

Double-label fluorescent immunohistochemistry (IHC) is frequently used to identify cellular and subcellular co-localization of independent antigens. In general, primary antibodies for double labeling should be derived from independent species. However, such convenient pairs of antibodies are not always available. To overcome this problem, several methods for double labeling with primary antibodies from identical species have been proposed. Among them are methods using monovalent secondary antibodies, such as Fab fragments. Soluble immune complexes consisting of primary and monovalent secondary antibodies are first formed. After absorption of the excess secondary antibody with nonspecific immunoglobulin, the immune complexes are applied to sections. By this procedure, unwanted cross-reaction between false pairs of antibodies is avoidable. However, soluble immune complexes often show reduced or no immunoreactivity to antigens on sections. I noted that antigen retrieval (AR) of tissues by heating often but not always showed improved immunoreactivity for soluble immune complexes. Here I demonstrate the examination of conditions for this soluble immune complex method using AR-treated sections and show examples of double-label fluorescent IHC with identical species-derived primary antibodies. 相似文献

In this report we describe a double-label bridging technique for the simultaneous visualization of two cell surface antigens by immuno-electron microscopy. Mouse IgG-labeled horse spleen ferritin and rabbit IgG-labeled gold sols served as the electron dense marker-conjugates. The technique was found to discriminate reproducibly two cell surface antigens simultaneously in two separate murine systems, one an in vivo cell line and the other an in vitro cell line. The technique described in this report differs from other double-labeling procedures in two notable ways: (1) the electron dense markers are easily distinguished from one another, and (2) the primary and link antibodies are not modified. 相似文献

Bifunctional tetrameric complexes of monoclonal antibodies were used to stain cells for flow cytometry. These complexes consist of two different mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibodies (one with specificity for a cell surface antigen, the other with specificity for a fluorochrome) cross-linked by two molecules of a monoclonal rat anti-mouse IgG1. The use of this immunological approach to cross-link fluorochromes to cell surface antigens was studied with tetrameric complexes containing Leu-3a or Leu-2a antibodies and monoclonal antibodies specific for the fluorochromes B- and R-phycoerythrin. The ability of such cyclic immune complexes to stain T-cell subset antigens on human peripheral blood lymphocytes was demonstrated in single and double-staining experiments. The results demonstrate that tetrameric antibody complexes provide a simple and efficient alternative to covalently labeled antibodies for the flow cytofluorimetric analysis of cell-surface antigens. 相似文献

Immunolabeling with immune complexes of primary and secondary antibodies offers an attractive method for detecting and quantifying specific antigen. Primary antibodies maintain their affinity for specific antigen after labeling with Fab fragments in vitro. Incubation of these immune complexes with excess normal serum from the same species as the primary antibody prevents free Fab fragments from recognizing immunoglobulin. Effectively a hybrid between traditional direct and indirect immunolabeling techniques, this simple technique allows primary antibodies to be non-covalently labeled with a variety of reporter molecules as and when required. Using complexes containing Fab fragments that recognize both the Fc and F(ab')2 regions of IgG, we show that this approach prevents nonspecific labeling of endogenous immunoglobulin, can be used to simultaneously detect multiple antigens with primary antibodies derived from the same species, and allows the same polyclonal antibody to be used for both antigen capture and detection in ELISA. 相似文献
