Freeze-fracture technique and artefacts caused by processing conditions

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Freeze-fracture technique is a method used to visualise membrane surfaces of cell organelles. This method is based on cryo-fixation that stabilizes samples. The sample is rapidly frozen in nitrogen, and cut in the chamber under a vacuum and low temperature. Glycerol is used as a cryoprotectant preserving the fine structure of cells in their native stage. Although, cryoprotectants serve as a substitute for water and protect against ice crystal production, they could also affect the form of fracture through biological membranes. Figure 1 shows structures in a sample frozen in the presence of 25% glycerol. The temperature of the apparatus was not low enough during the process of fracturing and etching the sample. The structure of cells seems to be deformed due to melting glycerol. In contrast, figure 2 shows a replica with fine structure of frozen and proper good form of fracturing. The cells used for this study were human leukemic cells (HL-60). Another artefact is shown in figure 3A, co
