Immunoelectron microscopic localization of phosphoproteins associated with the mitotic spindle

Abstract
We examined the immunogold staining of microtubules and microtubule organizing centers using an improved silver-enhancement reagent for small (1-1.4 nm) gold-conjugated secondary antibodies. First, the staining properties of different commercial preparations of gold-labeled antibodies were compared for sample penetration, label uniformity, and labeling density, and Nanogold 1.4-nm gold-conjugated F(ab') was found to be superior to the other probes examined. However, in samples examined for the localization of alpha- and beta-tubulin, gold staining did not extend through the pericentriolar material nor were the centrioles labeled. This apparent lack of centrosomal staining was not due to problems associated with penetration of the antibody probes, since staining adjacent to and within the centriolar cylinder was observed when phosphoprotein antigens recognized by the MPM-2 antibody were localized. The MPM-2 antibodies also localized to mitotic kinetochores, kinetochore fibers, and midbodies, in addition to mitotic centrosomes. The level of MPM-2 staining of the centrosome varied through the cell cycle. At interphase, this staining was restricted within the centriolar cylinder, whereas in mitotic cells extensive staining throughout the pericentriolar material was also observed. These results established the close relationship of MPM-2-reactive phosphoproteins with the centrosome, and suggest that this technique may be useful for ultrastructural localization of other cytoskeletal proteins.
