High osmotic pressure forPneumocystic carinii London Resin White embedding enables fine immunocytochemistry studies: I. Golgi complex and cell-wall synthesis
A method for embeddingPneumocystis carinii in hydrophilic resin (London Resin White) has been developed for immunocytochemistry studies. Using high osmotic pressure (about 850 mosmol) from fixation to embedding, ...

High osmotic pressure enables fine ultrastructural and cytochemical studies onPneumocystic carinii
High osmotic pressure was used to preserve the ultrastructure of rabbit-, SCID mouse-, and rat-derivedPneumocystis carinii organisms from osmotic stress during fixation. Organelles and cytosol were well preserved...
