摘要
Identification of elastic fibers at the ultrastructural level is accomplished by a post-embedding immunohistochemical technique using the protein A-colloidal gold method. Antisera against elastins from human dermis and rat aorta have been characterized by radioimmunoassay and then applied to thin sections of rat blood vessels. Two fixative solutions and two embedding media have been tested. Both antibodies bind to elastic fibers of normal arteries and veins, indicating crossreactions among organs and species. The high sensitivity of this method is demonstrated by its application to the detection of neo-elastogenesis in the intimal thickening of aortic grafts.
