We have developed a new technique which makes silver intensification of the oxidatively polymerized diaminobenzidine (DAB), the endproduct of peroxidase reaction, less laborious without any loss in selectivity or sensitivity. The new technique is based on two strategies: (a) increasing the argyrophilia of the DAB by modifying its polymerization with Ni ions, and (b) decreasing tissue argyrophila by using a mildly acidic physical developer instead of the alkaline one previously presented. Because the nickel modification takes place in the DAB substrate solution, i.e., in the final step of the peroxidase reaction, only one additional step, the physical development, must be carried out if intensification is needed.

The effect of a series of photographic developers on the final silver-staining picture has been investigated. Ten common developers were used, but of these only hydroquinone, chloroquinol, pyrogallol, and p-aminophenol, were found to be of general use. The other developers were either so weak in their action that the final staining was light and incomplete, or so powerful that a differentiated nerve staining was not produced. For silver staining to be effected nuclei of reduced silver should be present in the section. These nuclei act as centres for the deposition of additional silver reduced by the developer; the additional silver may either be derived from that combined with the sections during impregnation or from the developing solution itself. Whether or ot the additional silver is deposited in such a way as to produce differentiated nerve staining depends on the properties of the developer and on the composition of the developing solution. The redox- and ‘bromide’-potentials, the sulphite and hydrogen n concentrations in the developing solution, and the protective action of the tissue components of the section all play a part in determining the final staining picture. A new glycine-containing physical developer and a gold thiocyanate physical developer are described.

The relationship between RNA synthesis and ultrastructural organization of chromatin fibrils was examined in the interphase nuclei of the sea urchin embryos (Arbacia punctulata). The embryos at various stages of development were treated for 1 or 3 hours in sea water with 50 μC/ml of 3H-5-uridine. The samples were fixed in OSO4 or glutaraldehyde (GTA) and embedded in Epon or glycol methacrylate (GMA). Radioautographs were made by applying a thin film of Ilford L4 emulsion directly from an expandable wire loop to thin sections mounted on grids. Following exposure of 10 to 20 weeks, they were developed in Microdol-X or physical developer.In the cleavage and early blastula embryos, each interphase nucleus contains diffusely distributed chromatin and shows only very low incorporation of 3H-uridine into RNA (Fig.1). During these periods, many nucleolus-like bodies occur within the nucleus although they are not labeled with the isotope.

The quantitative aspects of silver staining of sections have been investigated with radioactive silver (Ag111). The concentrations of reducible silver, developed silver, and silver nuclei in the sections were determined, but it is doubtful if the values obtained for silver nuclei are significant. All three forms of silver increased with pH, time, and the concentration of silver in the impregnating solution. Temperature of impregnation had little effect on the uptake of reducible silver, but increased the developed silver, presumably by increasing the silver nuclei. An increase in the temperature of a hydroquinone-sulphite developer increased the amount of reducible silver reduced by the developer. The deposition of silver by a glycine physical developer was shown to follow a curve which was reasonably consistent with the assumption of a typical autocatalytic reaction. The uptake of silver by non-nervous tissues provided evidence that the process is not specific for nerves; the final specificity of staining is determined during development. The quantitative results are consistent with the hypothesis that the histidine in the sections is responsible for the combination of reducible silver.

An immunogold-silver staining technique for detection of cell-surface antigens in cell suspensions was developed. Leukocyte cell suspensions were first incubated with monoclonal antibodies directed against cell-surface antigens and then with colloidal gold-labeled goat anti-mouse antibodies. Cytocentrifuge preparations of the cell suspensions were immersed in a physical developer containing silver lactate and hydroquinone as reducing substance. The preparations were then counterstained and mounted. In light microscopy, cells reacting with the monoclonal antibodies showed dark granules on their surface membrane. An optimal morphology, as revealed by a May-Grünwald-Giemsa counterstain, permitted accurate cell identification. The labeling was influenced by the gold particle diameter and the concentration of the gold reagents, by the duration of incubation in the physical developer, and by the composition and temperature of this medium. The T-cell subsets enumerated with this method in the peripheral blood of normal adults were identical to those found with other methods. The sensitivity of the technique was comparable with that of immunofluorescence microscopy. This immunogold-silver staining procedure proved to be a reliable tool for detection of cell-surface antigens in light microscopy.
