- A novel technique for independent and simultaneous labeling of two antigens expressed on individual cells (referred to as mixed labeling) is presented. The staining procedure combined three-step (streptavidin-biotin) immunogold-silver staining with three-step immunoenzymatic labeling. To ensure both high specificity and high sensitivity, particular emphasis was placed on designing a protocol that avoids immunological crossreactivity between the antibody reagents and overlapping of the final color products. Two examples for usage of this mixedA novel technique for independent and simultaneous labeling of two antigens expressed on individual cells (referred to as mixed labeling) is presented. The staining procedure combined three-step (streptavidin-biotin) immunogold-silver staining with three-step immunoenzymatic labeling. To ensure both high specificity and high sensitivity, particular emphasis was placed on designing a protocol that avoids immunological crossreactivity between the antibody reagents and overlapping of the final color products. Two examples for usage of this mixed labeling technique are described: lymphocyte subpopulations were identified in inflammatory lesions of human skin and infected host cells were characterized in the skin of mice infected with the obligatory intracellular parasite Leishmania major, a cause of human cutaneous leishmaniasis.…
