The tyramide signal amplification (TSA) method has recently been introduced to improve the detection sensitivity of immunohistochemistry. We present three examples of applying this method to immunofluorescence confocal laser microscopy: (1) single labeling for CD54 in frozen mouse brain tissue; (2) double labeling with two unconjugated primary antibodies raised in the same host species (human immunodeficiency virus type 1 p24 and CD68) in paraffin-biopsied human lymphoid tissue; and (3) triple labeling for brain-derived neurotrophic factor, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and HLA-DR in paraffin-autopsied human brain tissue. The TSA method, when properly optimized to individual tissues and primary antibodies, is an important tool for immunofluorescence microscopy. Furthermore, the TSA method and enzyme pretreatment can be complementary to achieve a high detection sensitivity, particularly in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded archival tissues. Using multiple-label immunofluorescence confocal microscopy to characterize the cellular localization of antigens, the TSA method can be critical for double labeling with unconjugated primary antibodies raised in the same host species. 相似文献

Background
The analysis of co-localized protein expression in a tissue section is often conducted with immunofluorescence histochemical staining which is typically visualized in localized regions. On the other hand, chromogenic immunohistochemical staining, in general, is not suitable for the detection of protein co-localization. Here, we developed a new protocol, based on chromogenic immunohistochemical stain, for system-wide detection of protein co-localization and differential expression.Methodology/Principal Findings
In combination with a removable chromogenic stain, an efficient antibody stripping method was developed to enable sequential immunostaining with different primary antibodies regardless of antibody''s host species. Sections were scanned after each staining, and the images were superimposed together for the detection of protein co-localization and differential expression. As a proof of principle, differential expression and co-localization of glutamic acid decarboxylase67 (GAD67) and parvalbumin proteins was examined in mouse cortex.Conclusions/Significance
All parvalbumin-containing neurons express GAD67 protein, and GAD67-positive neurons that do not express parvalbumin were readily visualized from thousands of other neurons across mouse cortex. The method provided a global view of protein co-localization as well as differential expression across an entire tissue section. Repeated use of the same section could combine assessments of co-localization and differential expression of multiple proteins. 相似文献
