Abstract

A new fixative which primarily stabilizes carbohydrate moieties was developed for immunoelectron microscopy. It contains periodate, lysine and paraformaldehyde. Theoretically, the carbohydrates are oxidized by periodate and cross-linked by lysine. The fixative can preserve antigenicity as well as paraformaldehyde and ultrastructure as well as glutaraldehyde. Using this fixative and the peroxidase-labeled antibody technique, basement membrane antigen was localized within the cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum of parietal yolk sac cells and in extracellular basement membranes with adequate tissue preservation, a task which has not been successfully accomplished by conventional fixatives.
