title: Sulfated glycoconjugates demonstrated in combination with high iron diamine thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate and silver acetate physical development.
abstract: Sulfated glycoconjugates in epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells were investigated after staining with high iron diamine-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate. One purpose of the experiment was to apply a new physical developed to the staining. Instead of silver nitrate, silver lactate or silver bromide, we used silver acetate as an ion donor. This new method allowed physical development under normal lighting conditions, and resulted in the reduction of background staining even after amplification. As the developer did not contain gum arabic, troublesome treatment was not necessary. The time required for staining was very short and the electron density of the final reaction product was high and easily identifiable under the electron microscope. Fixing was not necessary. Very small amounts of reactive substance were detectable after physical development. This developmental procedure has been applied to both the preembedding staining and postembedding staining of sulfated glycoconjugates. The results obtained using this method are presented.
