SDS-digested freeze-fracture replicas have been used as a substrate for immunoelectron microscopy to determine localization of membrane proteins and lipids. We, as well as others, have noticed that replicas prepared by first evaporating carbon are labeled more efficiently than conventional preparations in which platinum/carbon is evaporated first followed by carbon. In the present study, we examined whether the superior labeling in the carbon-first replica is caused by better retention of membrane molecules during SDS digestion. We used phosphatidylcholine liposomes as a model sample and measured the amount of inorganic phosphorus retained in the SDS-digested replica. The result showed that there was equivalent retention of inorganic phosphate among replicas prepared in different ways, indicating that labeling intensity on the replica did not correlate with the retention ratio. Interestingly, despite a similar retention ratio, replicas made of carbon alone gave far less labeling for ganglioside GM1 and phosphatidylcholine than replicas prepared by carbon followed by platinum/carbon. These results suggest that probes can bind to lipids captured by carbon more efficiently than those captured by platinum. Nonetheless, evaporation of platinum after carbon is indispensable for proper labeling.
