Extract

Immunocytochemistry generally refers to methods directed toward obtaining information on the in situ distribution of antigens in cells and tissues. Immunocytochemical methods can be applied at either the light or electron microscope levels, or both in concert. The detection of antibody recognition of an antigen (i.e., localization of an antigen) relies upon a reporter system. At the light microscope level, enzymes (e.g., horseradish peroxidase) or fluorochromes are the most widely used reporters in immunocytochemistry. At the electron microscope level, particulate probes (e.g., colloidal gold) are the most widely used reporters. However, enzymes and even fluorochromes can be used at the EM level.

In this abstract, we discuss our use of gold cluster immunoprobes as the reporter system in both light and electron microscope level immuncytochemistry. These gold cluster immunoprobes, are commercially known as NanogoldTM (NG). These probes are very small with a diameter of 1.4-nm.
