Abstract

The effect of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), alone and in combination, on diffusion artifacts in histochemical incubations has been investigated using LDH as model enzyme. By measuring the amount of formazan in the medium at the end of the incubation it has been shown that both substances, but especially PVA, are effective in limiting diffusion. The significance of this is discussed in general as well as in relation to other procedures used to reduce diffusion artifacts.
