We used a post-embedding immunogold labeling approach to define the fine-structural localization of histamine in rat peritoneal mast cells that were fixed using either standard aldehyde fixation or a fast microwave-aldehyde fixation method. Specimens were processed routinely for electron microscopy. Thin sections were exposed first to guinea pig antihistamine antiserum and then to gold-conjugated goat IgG directed against guinea pig IgG. By transmission electron microscopy, gold particles were localized to the matrix of cytoplasmic granules. Control sections treated with non-immune sera did not show labeling of mast cells. Adsorption of antihistamine antiserum with purified histamine or histamine bound to agarose showed a significant reduction (p less than 0.005) in granule staining. We also confirmed that our isolation procedures yielded functionally competent mast cells which released histamine when stimulated with sheep anti-rat IgE antiserum or with compound 48/80. These studies define the conditions of fixation for electron microscopy that are appropriate for the localization of histamine in the granule matrix of rat peritoneal mast cells.

By using an improved benzidine technique, peroxidase activity can be demonstrated in various locations in mammalian tissues. A relatively formalin resistant enzyme is found in hemoglobin and is also associated with mitochondria of striated muscle and heart. A somewhat less formalin resistant peroxidase occurs in the granules of myeloid and mast cells. A relatively formalin sensitive peroxidase is present in a number of additional locations, e.g. the acinar cells in thyroid and salivary gland, the medulla of the kidney, in hair follicles of the guinea pig skin and Kupffer cells of the liver.
