Abstract

High resolution immunolabeling applying the protein A-gold technique and carbohydrate cytochemistry using lectin-gold labeling on Lowicryl K4M and thawed-frozen thin sections are most useful approaches for the detection of protein antigens and lectin binding sites in intracellular organelles and the plasma membrane. They provided the basis for modern electron microscopic studies on protein gylcosylation reactions and the identification of their subcellular localization as reviewed here. These studies have demonstrated organelle subcompartments and the cell type-specific compartmentation of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus-associated glycosylation reactions. The other subject reviewed in this paper is cell surface glycoconjugates, as they are expressed in relation to specific cell types present in various organs and during cellular differentiation processes.
