    This study presents a novel method for preparing whole-body mouse sections for autoradiography and histology. This technique allows for detailed tissue analysis by correlating histological features with autoradiogram data.

    Area of Science:

    • Histology
    • Autoradiography
    • Cryosectioning

    Background:

    • Accurate correlation of tissue histology with autoradiographic data is crucial for biological research.
    • Existing methods may present challenges in preserving tissue integrity and spatial relationships during sectioning and processing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe an improved method for preparing sagittal whole-body mouse sections.
    • To enable the direct correlation of tissue histology with autoradiograms.
    • To facilitate histochemical studies of xylene-insoluble substances.

    Main Methods:

    • Sagittal whole-body mouse sections (20 µm thick) were prepared using a cryostat at -15°C.
    • Adhesive tape (cotton or nylon-backed) was used to support sections during cutting and drying.

  • Sections were processed for autoradiography, transferred to slides, de-taped, and stained with hematoxylin-eosin.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully obtained intact whole-body mouse sections suitable for both autoradiography and histological staining.
    • The method preserved the tissue structure, allowing for precise correlation between histological features and the autoradiogram.
    • The prepared sections were suitable for studying xylene-insoluble compounds.

    Conclusions:

    • This cryosectioning and tape-adhesion method provides a robust technique for correlative histological and autoradiographic analysis.
    • The technique enhances the ability to interpret biological data derived from whole-body distribution studies.
    • The method is adaptable for histochemical investigations of specific tissue components.
