A combination of beta-galactosidase enzyme and the immunogold/silver staining method was studied for evaluation of double-staining experiments. Applications are shown for immunohistochemical double staining using two monoclonal antibodies and for combined immunohistochemistry and DNA in situ hybridization in one tissue section. The following advantages for the present double-staining method were evaluated: superior sensitivity of the immunogold/silver staining method for at least one epitope, which also allows detection of biotinylated DNA probes. The structure of the indolyl precipitate after revelation of beta-galactosidase activity did not show a concealing effect during a sequential double-staining method, as compared with the visualization of peroxidase with diaminobenzidine. These factors, and the sharply contrasting colored reaction products of beta-galactosidase (blue-green) and the immunogold/silver staining method including silver enhancement (brown-black), allow clear distinction of mixed-stained cell constituents.

Previously, the author repeatedly confirmed the higher 5’-nucleotidase (5’-Nase) and lower alkaline phoaphatase (ALPase) activities in the wall of lymphatic capillaries reacted with the lead-based method relative to those of blood capillaries. The ALPase, on the other hand, is markedly higher in blood capillaries than in lymphatics. On the basis of these enzyme characteristics, the author has developed a 5’-Nase— ALPase double staining method to differentiate small lymphatics from blood capillaries at the level of the light microcsopy. Furthermore, we applied it to histochemical observation of the lead-containing reaction products of 5’-Nase in lymphatics on the same or adjacent cryostat sections using backscattered electron imaging (BEI) in scanning electron microscope (SEM). This paper presents a new applicability of 5’-Nase histochemistry by BEI-SEM to demonstrate the distribution of lymphatic capillaries in tissue blocks.

Serial sections of vertebrate hypothalami were stained with the immunocytochemical peroxidase-antiperoxidase method. In addition to the single staining method, our double staining method was used, which enabled us to visualize two tissue antigens in single tissue sections. In both staining methods, differentially adsorbed antineurohypophysial hormone sera, anti-somatostatin serum and anti-bovine neurophysin sera were used. The results confirm the one hormone, one neuron hypothesis.
