Direct immunocytochemistry with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated monoclonal antibody against substance P

DM Boorsma, AC Cuello and FW van Leeuwen

The procedure for the isolation and conjugation of the anti-substance P monoclonal antibody NC1/34 with the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is described. This resulted in a molecular complex of monoclonal antibody/HRP of 1:1. This conjugate was of approximately 400,000 daltons, as estimated by gel chromatography. Practically all the isolated antibody was coupled to HRP. The conjugate was tested both in a model system where CNBr-activated Sepharose beads were coupled to substance P and on fixed tissue preparations from the rat spinal cord and medulla oblongata. The conjugate revealed staining in nerve fibers in areas known to contain substance P. The best immunohistochemical results were obtained by prolonged incubations at 12 degrees C in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100. The preabsorption of the conjugate with substance P obliterated the reaction.
