The effectiveness of 1% saponin at 55 C (SAP), glutaraldehyde-borohydride-saponin (GBS), and modified GBS (MGBS) as fixatives for preserving cellular morphologic features, as well as antigenicity of intracellular and membrane-bound viral proteins of canine parainfluenza virus (CPIV) and canine distemper virus (CDV) was studied. Use of the same fixatives for light and electron microscopic immunocytochemical examination also was investigated. By light microscopy, CDV inclusions were readily detected after SAP and MGBS fixation, but not after GBS fixation; CPIV inclusions were detected after GBS and MGBS fixation, but not after SAP fixation. Ultrastructurally, SAP-treated cells had moderate to severe cytoplasmic artifacts, although CDV-associated cytoplasmic and membrane viral antigens were readily labeled. The CPIV-infected cells contained only a few positively labeled membrane-associated antigens and cytoplasmic nucleocapsids (NC). Although GBS-treated cells had excellent ultrastructural preservation, immunolabeling was unsatisfactory; CPIV-NC were labeled incompletely, and CDV-NC were unlabeled. After fixation with MGBS, immunolabeling of NC and membrane-associated viral proteins for both viruses was achieved, and the architecture of infected cells was preserved.
