Some modified cerium-based and Gomori-based cerium methods for the demonstration of phosphatase activity in cryostat sections were described. Dextrane as stabilizing agent was added to the incubation media for ATPase, 5'-Nase, and TPPase. The oxidation of the CeIII-phosphate primary reaction product in a separate step by H2O2 before the DAB incubation yielded an increase of the intensity of the DAB-based visualization reaction (Ce-H2O2-DAB-Ni two step method). The sensitivity of the histochemical enzyme reaction was remarkably increased if CeIII-ions were employed as amplifying agent (Ce/Ce-H2O2-DAB-Ni two-step method). A new suitable DAB medium consisting of 0.015% DAB, 2.0% Ni-sulphate, 15% methanol, and 0.005% H2O2 in 0.1 mol/l acetate buffer, pH = 5.2, was used. The disadvantage of diffuse background staining has been overcome by addition of 15% methanol to the DAB solution. Electrovalently bound CeIII (cerophilia) was removed by treatment of the incubated sections with CeIII-citrate (CeIII-complexation). In addition, a novel membrane floating incubation for sections is proposed. At present, the modified procedures are some of the most sensitive modes for the demonstration of phosphatases and improve the earlier described cerium-DAB one-step technique (Halbhuber et al. 1988b).
