New, improved techniques for the ultrastructural localization of acid and alkaline phosphatase activity using lanthanide cations as the trapping agent were developed. Delayed penetration of the capture ions and the incubation constituents into cellular compartments was prevented by pretreating specimens with borohydride/saponin. Both the concentration of the capture agent in the incubation medium and the incubation time of the tissue specimens were optimized to achieve a satisfactory cytochemical reaction and to avoid precipitation artefacts caused by local matrix effects. The conversion of cerium phosphate into the almost insoluble cerium fluoride minimized losses of the reaction product during postincubation processing. Moreover, lanthanum itself as well as lanthanides other than cerium, e.g., gadolinium and didymium (praseodymium, neodymium), were successfully applied and can be recommended as capture agents for phosphatase cytochemistry.
