Plasma protein immunocytochemistry and polysaccharide cytochemistry at the surface of alveolar and endothelial cells in the rat lungJ Bignon, F Jaubert and MC Jaurand
Ultrastructural immunocytochemistry of plasma proteins and cytochemistry of polysaccharides with ruthenium red and concanavalin A were combined with different types of fixation with or without prior vascular or airway washing, to study the surface of capillary endothelial and alveolar epithelial cells of the blood-air barrier in the rat lung. The endothelial and epithelial cell surface layers were found to have two components: a moveable part belonging to the cellular microenvironement made of plasma proteins and a deeper glucidic or anionic fixed part bound to the plasma membranes (cell coat).
