A recently described immunofluorescence mounting buffer containing para-phenylenediamine prevents fading of specific staining in skin sections during microscopic examination, and allows better appreciation of Illorphological detail. Examination of slides at high powers with intense illumination, as well as improved photoxn. icrographs, are possible with this reagent.Examination of skin sections stained with fluorescein-tagged antibodies under the immunofluorescence microscope is accompanied by fading of specific staining [1, 2]. This fading is particularly prominent when specimens are examined with high-power objectives with microscopes equipped with epiillUlllination systems and mercury light sources. As a result of this phenomenon, careful examination of subtle immunofluorescence findings at high powers and photography of these findings are difficult or impossible. Johnson and Nogueira-Araujo have recently described a simple m ethod of reducing fading of positive immunofluorescent Imdings in the examination of cells in an antinuclear antibody test [3]. This method involves the use of para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in the mounting buffer. We have used tllis buffer in the examination of skin specimens by du'ect immunofluorescence and have found fading of specific staining to be minimal. This reagent has allowed high power examination and photography of immunofluorescence findings that were not previously possible. Use of this reagent has so facilitated our immunofluorescence examinations, that we wish to bring this method to the attention of others.
