The method described is based on enzyme-gold cytochemistry. Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) from honeybee venom is adsorbed on gold particles and used for the specific labelling of its substrate, sn3-glycerophospholipids. This report describes the preparation of the PLA2-gold complex and the conditions required for in situ labelling of phospholipids.
