New light microscopic visualization methods were developed for the histochemical detection of non-specific alkaline and acid phosphatase, Mg-, Ca- and Na, K-dependent adenosine triphosphatase, myosin adenosine triphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase and thiamine pyrophosphatase with cerium ions as trapping agents in cryostat and plastic sections. The techniques are based on the conversion of cerium phosphate into cerium perhydroxide by H2O2 which decomposes at 55 degrees-60 degrees C into cerium hydroxide and oxygen radicals. These radicals are able to oxidize diaminobenzidine (DAB) to DAB brown. Addition of nickel ions to the DAB-H2O2 mixture generates bluish-black stained nickel-DAB complexes. Compared with the classical metal precipitation, azo, azoindoxyl and tetrazolium procedures the H2O2-DAB and especially the H2O2-DAB-nickel methods provided identical or superior results in catalytic phosphatase histochemistry and immunohistochemistry when using non-specific alkaline phosphatase as the enzyme label.

Y. pestis adhesion pili (AP) in the native form and in the subunit form, used for immunization in one or two injections in a dose of 12-100 mu g on aluminum hydroxide, did not protect white mice and guinea pigs from experimental Y. pestis infection. The study revealed that AP produced a pronounced cytotoxic effect on macrophages and practically no influence on leukocytes. This result was confirmed in the study of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence and in the analysis of 5'-nucleotidase activity of phagocytes. These data make it possible to regard AP as Y. pestis antimacrophagal pathogenicity factor.
