Article Synopsis
- The immunogold technique is used for labeling cellular macromolecules, but using different sizes of colloidal gold nanoparticles can reduce labeling efficiency and spatial resolution.
- To address these issues, it's better to use nanoparticles of similar size for multiple labeling while finding another way to distinguish between them.
- This study introduces colloidal palladium nanoparticles with two distinct shapes, umbonate and faceted, which effectively serve as labels while maintaining similarity in size to gold particles, demonstrated using a human platelet model.
