Abstract

We describe an improvement of the immunogold technique, which is based on the colour development of silver-intensified immunogold signals. This method (referred to as the coloured-SIG technique) was found to be as sensitive as the silver-intensified immunogold method and more sensitive (in two of the three tested systems) than immunoenzymatic procedures, such as the peroxidase/antiperoxidase technique or the avidin-biotin system. The coloured SIG-method results in either a magenta-red or a cyan-blue final reaction product. Therefore, this new improvement of the immunogold technique should be useful in double-staining methods, immunoblot methods and conventional immunostaining methods.
