Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the light microscope-electron microscope combined technology scheme, the method of fluorescence observation after embedding first fixes, dehydrates, infiltrates, and embeds the sample, and then observes the fluorescence signal and electron microscope image of the completely consistent sample, which has a higher consistency , can obtain more accurate results, but on the one hand, the sample preparation technology is difficult to be compatible with the preservation of the fluorescence signal and the sample cell structure, and the ultra-thin sheet fluorescence signal is very weak when the sample signal is obtained after embedding, and the structural information is not ideal; on the other hand Integrated light-electron microscopy equipment is not yet popular

Embodiment 1

[0061] Embodiment 1 A kind of light microscopy-transmission electron microscopy combined sample processing reagent

[0062] A light microscope-transmission electron microscope sample processing reagent, including fixative: 2.5% glutaraldehyde, embedding agent: hydrophilic basic resin GMA, 0.5% sodium borohydride, nuclear fluorescent dye DAPI, transmission electron microscope dye Uranyl acetate and lead citrate.

[0063] The fixing agent is 2.5% glutaraldehyde or a fixing agent mixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.5% glutaraldehyde, wherein 2.5% glutaraldehyde is preferred. When 2.5% glutaraldehyde was used as a fixative, the effect of preserving the ultrastructure of the sample cells was the best.

Abstract

The invention provides a correlative light-and transmission electron microscopy sample treatment reagent and a CLEM detection method using the provided correlative light-and transmission electron microscopy sample treatment reagent. The reagent comprises a fixing agent, an embedding agent-hydrophilic alkaline resin GMA, sodium borohydride, nuclear fluorescent dye and transmission electron microscopy dye. The CLEM detection method comprises steps of fixing a sample, removing background fluorescence, dehydrating the sample, permeating, embedding, polymerizing, ultrathin slicing, laser confocal microscope imaging, acquiring a transmission electron microscopy image, and processing the image in later period. The method overcomes the difficulty of being compatible with a fluorescent signal and solves a problem of storage of a sample cell structure in the prior art. The sample has a strong fluorescent signal and complete ultramicrostructure information can be retained; the method adopts a simple but effective image normalization method, jointly uses existing fluorescent microscope and transmission electron microscopy so as to acquire highly consistent correlative light-and electron microscopy images. The method combines positioning information of a target molecule and ultramicrostructure information, thereby being very practical.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of detection, and in particular relates to a light microscope-transmission electron microscope combined sample processing reagent and a CLEM detection method using the reagent. Background technique [0002] Knowing the precise structural information of target cells and organelles, as well as the location of target proteins in cells and their impact on structure, can provide necessary information for the study of growth, development, reproduction, learning and memory, signal transduction, immune response, metabolism and other life activities. information. Fluorescence microscopy alone cannot obtain the structural information of the sample, and the immunocolloidal gold labeling electron microscopy technique for studying the precise positioning of proteins is limited by the difficulty of preserving epitopes, the difficulty of antibodies entering the resin, the low labeling success rate, and the high non-specifi...
