Abstract
The preparation and properties of an electron-dense antibody conjugate, made by the covalent bonding of an iron-dextran (Imposil) particle to an antibody molecule were reported. Transmission electron microscopic experiments with the Imposil-antibody conjugates demonstrated their suitability as specific immunostains at high resolution, particularly for simultaneous double staining experiments in conjunction with ferritin-antibody conjugates.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
