ENZYME-CATALYZED METAL DEPOSITION FOR THE ENHANCED IN SITU DETECTION OF IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL EPITOPES AND NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCES
摘要
The invention is directed to novel compositions of matter and methods of detecting in situ an immunohistochemical epitope or nucleic acid sequence of interest in a biological sample comprising binding an enzyme-labeled conjugate molecule to the epitope or sequence of interest in the presence of a redox-inactive reductive species and a soluble metal ion, thereby facilitating the reduction of the metal ion to a metal atom at or about the point where the enzyme is anchored. Novel phosphate derivatives of reducing agents are described that when exposed to a phosphatase are activated to their reducing form, thereby reducing metal ions to insoluble metal.
