A new double-enzyme conjugate was synthesized by coupling alkaline phosphatase (AP) to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). After AP (blue) and subsequent HRP (red) cytochemistry, this new conjugate produced a stable intermediate-colored (violet) product. By coupling this double-enzyme conjugate to an antigen (trinitrophenyl, TNP) or an antibody (anti-mouse immunoglobulin G2a), anti-TNP or -IgG2a-producing cells could be demonstrated as violet cells in spleen sections. This led to the development of a rapid one-step incubation--two-step cytochemical procedure for simultaneous detection of three different determinants in a single tissue section. To demonstrate this novel triple staining method, we coupled three different antigens to, respectively, AP, HRP, and AP-HRP. When spleen sections of immunized animals were incubated with a mixture of these three antigen-enzyme conjugates, we could distinguish antibody-forming cells against each of these three antigens simultaneously as red (HRP), blue (AP), and violet (AP-HRP) cells. The simultaneous detection of three different classes of intracellular antibodies in a single section also proved to be possible with this method. With this study we provide a new direct method for detection of three different intracellular immunoglobulins after a one-step incubation and a two-step standard cytochemical procedure.

For immunohistological analysis, simultaneous detection of multiple cellular epitopes, as compared to single staining of serial sections, is sometimes needed. Therefore, immunoenzyme triple-staining protocols were tested with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies on tissue sections and cytospin preparations. Various immunoconjugates were used in different combinations of methods, of which not all proved to be suitable. Of the tested protocols, one yielded superior results for both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, with optimal preservation of their original avidity. The method consists of a combination of indirect, direct, and avidin-biotin complex technique. The three antigens can be distinguished clearly and selectively by the reaction products of the enzyme activities of beta-galactosidase (green), alkaline phosphatase (blue), and horseradish peroxidase (red).

A novel one-step double immunolabeling method was elaborated on the basis of the simultaneous application of preformed molecular complexes of two primary antibodies with their specific secondary antibodies labeled with different enzymes. Treatment with a rat monoclonal antibody (MAb), M1-8, pre-coupled with horseradish peroxidase-linked sheep anti-rat immunoglobulins, and enzyme reaction revealed by the 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole/hydrogen peroxide reaction, resulted in red-brown intracytoplasmic staining of interdigitating reticular cells in the lymph nodes of Balb/c mice. Another molecular complex, made of mouse anti-Ia MAb with alkaline phosphatase-linked rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulins, applied at the same time and then developed with naphthol AS-BI-phosphate/fast blue BB as substrate, yielded blue surface staining of this cell type in addition to labeling of B-lymphocytes. The method described provides the possibility of relatively rapid double antigen detection where the binding sites of the secondary antibodies are saturated by the specific primary immunoglobulins. This approach seems to avoid nonspecific binding of primary antibodies to Fc receptors, and the unwanted binding of secondary antibodies with cell surface immunoglobulins on B-lymphocytes or with crossreactive primary antibodies used in the other sequence, if the primary antibodies and the tissue are the same or crossreactive animal species.

As to date, more than 49 million confirmed cases of Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) have been reported worldwide. Current diagnostic protocols use qRT-PCR for viral RNA detection, which is expensive and requires sophisticated equipment, trained personnel and previous RNA extraction. For this reason, we need a faster, direct and more versatile detection method for better epidemiological management of the COVID-19 outbreak. In this work, we propose a direct method without RNA extraction, based on the Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-CRISPR associated protein (CRISPR-Cas12) technique that allows the fast detection of SARS-CoV-2 from patient samples with high sensitivity and specificity. We obtained a limit of detection of 16 copies/μL with high specificity and at an affordable cost. The diagnostic test readout can be done with a real-time PCR thermocycler or with the naked eye in a blue-light transilluminator. Our method has been evaluated on a small set of clinical samples with promising results.
