  • The technique of immunogold labeling exploits the ability of the gold particles to adsorb protein molecules onto their surfaces.

  • The location of SynK in cyanobacteria in both thylakoid and plasmamembranes was revealed by immunogold electron microscopy and Western blotting of isolated membrane fractions.

  • Colloidal gold particles coated with specific antibodies can be used as probes for the presence and position of antigens on the surfaces of cells. electron microscopy, the immunogold labels appear as extremely dense round spots at the position of the palladium, are applied as conductive coating to biological specimens and other non-conducting materials such as plastics and glass to be viewed in a argon plasma, has a triple role in this application.

  • We observed that in both human and mouse cardiomyocytes, BIN1 and Cav1. 2 colocalize at cardiac T-tubules (by fluorescence and electron microscopy immunogold labeling) and co-immunoprecipitate.

  • Studies involve freshly acquired human and mouse adult cardiomyocytes using complementary immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy with dual immunogold labeling, and co-immunoprecipitation.

    PLoS Biology: New Articles Ting-Ting Hong et al. 2010

  • To confirm spatial coincidence, we used transmission electron microscopy with dual immunogold labeling to identify Cav1. 2 and BIN1 on T-tubule ultrastructures in adult mouse cardiomyocytes.
