    This study introduces a novel double-antigen staining method for simultaneous neural antigen localization in both light and electron microscopy. The technique uses sequential immunoperoxidase staining with distinct chromogens, enabling clear visualization of multiple targets.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Immunohistochemistry
    • Microscopy

    Background:

    • Limited methods exist for double-antigen staining applicable to both light and electron microscopy.
    • Simultaneous localization of neural antigens is crucial for detailed ultrastructural analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Develop a sensitive, simple double-antigen staining method for correlated light and ultrastructural analysis.
    • Enable simultaneous localization of two neural antigens without antibody elution.

    Main Methods:

    • Sequential immunoperoxidase staining using 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and benzidine dihydrochloride (BDHC) as chromogens.
    • Visualization of the first antibody with DAB (brown, diffuse) and the second with BDHC (blue, granular, electron-dense).
    • Application to simultaneous localization of choline acetyltransferase with substance P or tyrosine hydroxylase in rat brain.

    Main Results:

    • DAB and BDHC reaction products were clearly distinguishable by light and electron microscopy.
    • Successful simultaneous localization of target neural antigens was achieved.
    • Control experiments confirmed the absence of color mixing and antibody cross-reactions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed double-staining method is sensitive, simple, and provides permanent reaction products.
    • Benzidine dihydrochloride (BDHC) is a useful chromogen for immunoperoxidase staining, alone or with DAB.
    • This method offers wide applicability for detailed dual-antigen studies at both light and ultrastructural levels.
