Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

It is often desirable to prepare fresh tissue, without fixation, in order to optimize the label density on fixation-sensitive epitopes. This report describes the use of ethanediol dehydration with the subsequent immunogold localization of a range of epitopes of known distribution, in order to assess the utility of the techniques. The technique fulfills criteria for the retention of both ultrastructure and immunogenicity.
