  • Title: Application of colloidal gold to ultrastructural studies.
    Author: Seidel J, Zabel M.
    Journal: Folia Histochem Cytobiol; 2001; 39(2):107-8. PubMed ID: 11374780.
    Abstract:
    Progress in recognition of structure and function in a variety of cells has always been linked to development of new research techniques. Beyond doubt, immunocytochemical techniques belong to such new methods. However, the techniques had not been widely applied to electron microscopy until colloidal gold was introduced as a label. This paper presents the pre-embedding and the post-embedding techniques and the applied markers, which are used in immunocytochemical techniques at the ultrastructural level. The potential of colloidal gold techniques is discussed. Particular attention is paid to methods of reaction amplification. Application of gold is illustrated with our own results.
