The purpose of the present study was to investigate the possibility of immunoelectron microscopic observation of endocrine cells in paraffin-embedded tissues. The procedure, which involves reprocessing from sliced tissues and immunohistochemical staining by colloidal-gold immunolabeling of paraffin sections from paraffin blocks, was able to reveal the fine characteristics of secretory granules containing glucagon-like peptide-1. Morphometric analyses of the secretory granules showed no significant differences between the reprocessing procedure and a conventional post-embedding procedure, which was performed as a control. The reprocessing procedure has some advantages besides providing information on secretory granules containing the amino acid peptide. For example, the same cell can be observed under both a light microscope and the electron microscope. In addition, the high-electron densities of silver-enhanced gold particles are easily recognized, and the boundary between the profile of the granules and the immunogold labeling is clearly shown at the electron microscopic level. Furthermore, the procedure, which is inexpensive and does not require special devices, can effectively use precious samples that are already paraffin-embedded and unable to be obtained twice, such as the case for endangered animals and rare pathological tissues. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to report the advantages of the reprocessing method for sliced paraffin sections of gut endocrine cells.
