Popis: An immunohistochemical technique for the detection of the hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) in cryostat sections of liver by polyclonal and monoclonal anti-ASGP-R antibodies is described. The procedure is based on the alkaline-phosphatase-avidin-biotin complex (ABC-AP) system and important features include fixation of the sections with periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde (with or without dichromate) and an absolute requirement for blocking of endogenous biotin activity. The sensitivity of the technique is such that binding to ASGP-R can be detected with femtomolar concentrations of monoclonal anti-ASGP-R antibodies and, with polyclonal antisera, approaches that of a radioimmunoassay.
