A post-embedding immunohistochemical method using avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (ABC-peroxidase) is described for localizing specific antigens for papillomavirus on semithin sections of human warts fixed and embedded in epoxy resins for conventional electron microscopy. The use of very specific and sensitive antibodies and the etching procedure with a saturated solution of sodium ethoxide appears to give good results. Results indicate that this method applied routinely on semithin sections, before the ultrastructural examination, may be suitable as a screening method for positive cells, which will be further examined by electron microscopy.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D027383 Papillomaviridae A family of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses infecting birds and most mammals, especially humans. They are grouped into multiple genera, but the viruses are highly host-species specific and tissue-restricted. They are commonly divided into hundreds of papillomavirus "types", each with specific gene function and gene control regions, despite sequence homology. Human papillomaviruses are found in the genera ALPHAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; BETAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; GAMMAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; and MUPAPILLOMAVIRUS.
