B,C D sections treated with anti-lipase IgG originally raised against purified castor bean glyoxysomal lipase. In all cases the gold labels are exclusively associated with small highly-stained microbodies (arrowed) which readily stained in the presence of diaminobenzidine, Indicative of the presence that the gold labels are interacting with...
