Antibodies labeled with visual markers such as fluorochromes, ferritin, horseradish peroxidase, viruses, hemocyanin, and radioiodine, have recently been used extensively to help understand a variety of biological phenomena (Raff, 1976; Karnovsky and Unanue, 1973; Wagner, 1973). In the field of immunology, for example, studies have focused specifically on defining lymphoid populations responsible for elicitation of both cellular and humoral immune responses. To discern these populations, antibodies were prepared against immunologic determinants unique to each cell type. Subsequently, the specific antibody was labeled with an appropriate visual marker that could be identified with the light microscope and/or transmission electron microscope (TEM). Cells responsible for cellular immune responses (thymus cells) were thus characterized as possessing surface receptors for anti-theta antibody in mice (Raff, 1969; 1970) and cells involved in humoral immune responses (bone marrow lymphocytes) were shown to possess receptors for anti-immunoglobulin (anti-Ig) (Rabellino and Gray, 1971; Raff et al., 1970; Unanue et al., 1971). Specific characterization and localization of these and other lymphocyte receptors are currently being considered at the ultrastructural level by numerous investigators.
