The procedure for the isolation and conjugation of the anti-substance P monoclonal antibody NC1/34 with the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is described. This resulted in a molecular complex of monoclonal antibody/HRP of 1:1. This conjugate was of approximately 400,000 daltons, as estimated by gel chromatography. Practically all the isolated antibody was coupled to HRP. The conjugate was tested both in a model system where CNBr-activated Sepharose beads were coupled to substance P and on fixed tissue preparations from the rat spinal cord and medulla oblongata. The conjugate revealed staining in nerve fibers in areas known to contain substance P. The best immunohistochemical results were obtained by prolonged incubations at 12 degrees C in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100. The preabsorption of the conjugate with substance P obliterated the reaction.

Until now a satisfactory method for electron microscopic (EM) detection of anterogradely transported horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in developing neural tissue, using sensitive chromogen tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), has not been described. Use of the stabilizing agent ammoniumheptamolybdate (AHM), in combination with a modified prolonged osmication [4 hr at pH 5.0 in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (PB)] made possible visualization of HRP-TMB-(AHM) reaction product at the ultrastructural level in outgrowing corticospinal tract (CST) fibers of young postnatal rat. This reaction product appeared to be very distinctive and clearly detectable, making ultrastructural identification of HRP-labeled outgrowing CST fibers in rat spinal cord rather easy. In addition, the procedure described in this report preserves the ultrastructural details of the developing neural tissue.

Microtubules (MT) are versatile organelles participating in a wide variety of biological activity. MT involvement in the movement and transport of cytoplasmic components has been well documented. In the course of our study on trauma-induced vasogenic edema in the spinal cord we have concluded that endothelial vesicles contribute to the edema process. Using horseradish peroxidase as a vascular tracer, labeled endothelial vesicles were present in all situations expected if a vesicular transport mechanism was in operation. Frequently,labeled vesicles coalesced to form channels that appeared to traverse the endothelium. The presence of MT in close proximity to labeled vesicles sugg ested that MT may play a role in vesicular activity.
