Abstract: | Summary— In a previous paper (Quintana et al, Biol Cell 72, (1991) 167–180) we reported the anti-ovalbumin antibody immunolabeling in the cytoplasm of tubular gland cells from cryofixed, cryosubstituted and acrylic-resin embedded quail oviduct. To confirm these preliminary visual observations, we have carried out a semi-automatic quantitative study of immunogold labeling. The quantitative results confirm the previous data. In addition, we found a significantly higher immunolabeling with low temperature Lowicryl K11M embedding procedure as compared with high temperature LR White embedding. |
