Prospective on cell surface labeling using the hapten-sandwich method: an integrated approach. 1979

M K Nemanic

Specific molecular units on the surface membranes of cells were tagged with markers visible in fluorescence, transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The Hapten-sandwich method does this by the sequential application of hapten-modified anti-cell-surface antibody, anti-hapten antibody and a hapten-modified marker. Details are given for the preparation and testing of the various reagents used in this method. The specificity and efficiency of Hapten-sandwich coupling of hemocyanin to mammary tumor virus (MTV) budding from breast tumor cells was demonstrated by quantitative transmission electron microscopy. Con A and anti-saccharide antibodies were used to demonstrate the presence of various sugars on the surfaces of the mammary tumor cells using fluorescence, transmission and scannings electron microscopy. Some samples were doubly labeled for the simultaneous presence of two different sugars. Light and electron microscopy were used to show that several hormones (insulin(I), hydrocortisone(F), and prolactin) greatly affect the expression of tumor virus and the kind and density of cell surface sugars on mammary tumor cells. Individual cells produced virus and expressed surface sugars independently. A micro-scanning densitometer was used to quantitate the results from fluorescence microscopy. Future advances in cell labeling including other applications of the Hapten-sandwich method, and problems such as the quantitation of electron microscopy labeling are discussed.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.
