Quantitative Radioautography

IntroductionSeveral methods of mounting emulsion for radioautography at the electron microscopic level have been reported. From the viewpoint of quantitative radioautography, however, there are many critical problems in the procedure to produce radioautographs. For example, it is necessary to apply and develop emulsions in several experimental groups under an identical condition. Moreover, it is necessary to treat a lot of grids at the same time in the dark room for statistical analysis. Since the complicated process and technical difficulties in these procedures are inadequate to conduct a quantitative analysis of many radioautographs at once, many factors may bring about unexpected results. In order to improve these complicated procedures, a simplified dropping method for mass production of radioautographs under an identical condition was previously reported. However, this procedure was not completely satisfactory from the viewpoint of emulsion homogeneity. This paper reports another improved procedure employing wire loops.

Cytochemical Reaction

Localization of specific substances at the ultrastructural level is dependent on the introduction of chemicals which will complex and impart an electron density at specific reaction sites. Peroxidase-antiperoxidase(PAP) methods have been successfully applied at the electron microscopic level. The PAP complex is localized by addition of its substrate, hydrogen peroxide and an electron donor, usually diaminobenzidine(DAB). On oxidation, DAB forms an insoluble polymer which is able to chelate with osmium tetroxide becoming electron dense. Since verification of reactivity is visual, discrimination of reaction product from osmiophillic structures may be difficult. Recently, x-ray microanalysis has been applied to examine cytochemical reaction precipitates, their distribution in tissues, and to study cytochemical reaction mechanisms. For example, immunoreactive sites labelled with gold have been ascertained by means of x-ray microanalysis.

The intracellular distribution of extra-embryonic endodermal, cytoskeletal proteins A (Endo A) and B (Endo B) was investigated by double-label immunofluorescent microscopy and double-label immunoelectron microscopy. In parietal endodermal cells, the immunofluorescent distribution of Endo B was always coincident with that of Endo A and could be distinguished from vimentin, particularly at the periphery of the cell. At the electron microscopic level, antibodies against both Endo A and Endo B recognized both bundles and individual intermediate filaments. Double-label immunoelectron microscopy was achieved by use of two sizes of colloidal gold particles (5 nm and 20 nm) that were stabilized with secondary antibodies. These results show that Endo A and B are found in the same intermediate filament and probably co-polymerize to form such structures.

This paper describes in detail a method for obtaining nearly uniform fixation of the nervous system by vascular perfusion with solutions of osmium tetroxide. Criteria are given for evaluating the degree of success achieved in the preservation of all the cellular components of the nervous system. The method permits analysis of the structural relations between cells at the electron microscopic level to an extent that has not been possible heretofore.

Ultrathin Cryosections

Adequate contrast of ultrathin cryosections is crucial for evaluating morphological detail to assess immunocytochemical localization at the electron microscopic level. We have developed a positive staining method for achieving contrast in ultrathin cryosections, from tissue fixed only in paraformaldehyde, that provides excellent contrast at the electron microscopic level.
