We have developed a reliable and sensitive immunohistochemical staining technique which allows the simultaneous demonstration of two different antigens expressed in or on the same cell (referred to as mixed labeling), together with the evaluation of the general histopathological appearance of the tissue. The staining procedure combines a three-step (streptavidin-biotin) immunogold-silver staining (IGSS) with a three-step immunoenzymatic labeling. For this purpose, we investigated the compatibility ofIGSS with various substrates of peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase (AP). Highly reliable and discernible mixed labeling was achieved only after iniriallabeling with IGSS followed by AP labeling using the substrates naphthol AS-MX phosphate/Fast Blue or naphthol AS-HI phosphate/New Fuchsin, respectively. To ensure utmost specificity, we applied FlTC-conjugated mouse monoclonal antibodies and rabbit anti-FlTC immunoglobulins visualized by AP-labeled immunoglobulins and the respective substrate in a final step. This novel approach provides an excellent means for demonstration of immunocompetent cells and unequivocal determination of the percentage of specific cell subsets in infiltrated tissue. The advantages of this method, as compared with double immunofluorescence or double immunoenzymatic labeling, were investigated and are discussed. (J Histochem Cytochem 38:307-313, 1990)
