Abstract The immunogold-silver staining (IGSS) method combined with light, transmission electron, and scanning electron microscopy (LM, TEM and SEM, respectively) was used for detecting lymphocyte surface antigens. Two different sizes of colloidal gold particles (5 nrn and 15 nm) were applied as markers and IntenSEII kit as a physical developer for gold particles.The silver enhanced gold particles were clearly observed on cell surfaces as black dots in LM and TEM and as white dots in SEM equipped with a mixed signal of secondary electron and back-scattered electron (SE/BE) signals. Monoclonal antibody (MAb)-positive cells possessing the complexes on their well preserved surfaces were easily identified among other lymphoid cells at low magnifications of LM or SEM equipped with SE/BE signals. Thus, the IGSS method has a great advantage for a qualitative screening such as the percentage of lymphocyte subsets in a cell suspension. However, the IGSS method was inadequate for semiquantitative study with antigen...
