Title Convenient method for better preservation of fine structures of cultured macrophages and engulfed yeast cells by freeze-substitution fixation.
Journal Microscopy (Oxf)
Abstract Rapid freeze-freeze substitution after glutaraldehyde fixation (CF-FS method) obtained the natural and fine structures of macrophages and engulfed yeast cells. Culturing macrophages on single hole molybdenum grids placed in culture dishes made possible the rapid freezing of cells by the 'open sandwich method'. This method may be convenient when rapid-freezing cannot be performed immediately, or when a rapid-freezing device is not available in the lab.
