Correlative immunofluorescence and electron microscopy on the same section of epon-embedded material

CL Rieder and SS Bowser

Semithick (0.25-0.50 micron) sections, cut from cells stained with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated antibodies prior to embedding in Epon, show high resolution patterns of immunofluorescence against a background void of autofluorescence. These same sections can then be viewed, after uranyl and lead staining, in the electron microscope. We clearly establish the specificity of this same-section correlative immunofluorescence-electron microscopy approach by showing that the immunofluorescent patterns observed in such sections of cells, stained prior to embedding for the indirect immunofluorescent localization of tubulin, follows the distribution of microtubules within the same sections as determined by electron microscopy. We then use this method to demonstrate for the first time that the 57 kD core protein of wound tumor virus is associated, at the ultrastructural level, with two distinct cellular inclusions in virally infected AC-20 cells. In some instances the fidelity in the correlation between the distribution of immunofluorescently labeled antigens and the ultrastructure in the same section eliminates the need to employ more complex procedures for labeling antigens for ultrastructural detection. This technique, therefore, provides a rapid and simple first approach to many problems that require the ultrastructural localization of specific antigens.
