Colloidal gold granules as markers for cell surface receptors in the scanning electron microscope.
A rapid method has been developed to visualize cell surface receptors in the SEM. Thus mannan at the surface of Candida utilis cells was localized by stabilized colloidal gold granules coated with either anti-mannan antibodies or Con A.
