The protein A-Au immunocytochemical technique was modified to allow labeling of cellular antigenic sites on Os-fixed or postfixed tissues. Several strong oxidizing agents were able to restore protein antigenicity on osmicated tissue thin sections. According to the fine structural preservation and intensities of labeling, pretreatment with sodium metaperiodate gave optimal results. Pancreatic secretory proteins [from rats] (and/or proproteins) as well as insulin (and/or proinsulin) were localized over perfectly preserved rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), Golgi apparatus and secretory granules of the corresponding pancreatic cells; carbamyl phosphate synthetase and catalase were revealed over liver mitochondria and peroxisomes, respectively. In addition to the higher resolution in the labeling obtained using Os-fixed tissues, the present modification confers an additional advantage to the protein A-Au technique by allowing labeling on tissues processed for routine EM.
