Immunocytochemical demonstration of carbonic anhydrase in human epithelial cells

SS Spicer, MA Sens and RE Tashian

Human tissues obtained early postmortem were immunostained to demonstrate carbonic anhydrase (CA) and, in some instances, to differentiate CA I and CA II, employing an immunoglobulin-peroxidase bridge method. Optimal immunostaining was obtained in tissues fixed a few hours in Carnoy's fluid or a buffered HgCl2 solution. Specimens fixed 1/2 to 2 hr with buffered formalin or Bouin's fluid stained less well but better than those fixed 24 hr with formalin. In tracheobronchial glands, serous acini and demilunes exhibited intense immunoreactivity demonstrative of the isozyme CA II. In kidney, all cells of the distal convoluted tubules were strongly positive for CA and cortical collecting tubule cells stained strongly but with some variability among individual cells. Cells in medullary collecting tubules ranged from intensely to negligibly reactive. Proximal convoluted tubules and thick ascending limbs showed moderate to light, uniform staining, but the thin limbs of the loop of Henle were negative. Renal cell immunoreactivity occurred only with antiserum to CA II. Seromucous acini in submandibular glands stained strongly and selectively for CA. Ducts in liver and pancreas showed strong selective immunostaining. The most superficial columnar cells lining the main lumen of the colon and appendix displayed strong reactivity, as did columnar cells lining the gall bladder.
