The coagulant fixatives, including methanol [ 8, 9], ethanol [ 10], acetone [ 11], and trichloroacetic acid [ 10, 12], denature and precipitate proteins.
We have performed ultrastructural analysis by SEM of cells fixed and/or extracted by the methods listed in Table 1. When the cells were treated with coagulant fixatives, the cytoskeleton was apparently exposed, but the three dimensional structures at the edge of the cells were not preserved as well as those prepared by the DOTMAC/PFA method (data not shown).
Among the coagulant fixatives, acetone produced the best results with respect to preservation of microextensions, staining of actin with either phalloidin or with monoclonal β-actin antibodies, and staining of microtubules with a monoclonal anti-β-tubulin reagent.
After methanol or ethanol fixation, some cells were partially detached and changed their shape, but this did not occur with other coagulant fixatives.
Acetone also provided good preservation of microextensions even after preparing the cells for immunolabeling, whereas some of the microextensions were lost, when cells were fixed with other coagulant fixatives (Table 2).
