Immunoperoxidase Labeling

An improved gold-substituted silver intensification procedure for the peroxidase-diaminobenzidine (DAB) reaction product was developed. The method was applied in the rat medial preoptic area to label tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunoreactive profiles. Following the gold toning, the same sections were immunostained for glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) immunoreactivity with non-intensified peroxidase-DAB. Single DAB-labeled GAD axons were found in symmetric synaptic connection with unlabeled dendrites as well as with gold-toned immunoperoxidase-containing TH neurons.
