Detergent-free immunolabeling has been proven feasible for correlated light and electron microscopy, but its application is restricted by the availability of suitable affinity reagents. Here we introduce CAptVE, a method using slow off-rate modified aptamers for cell fluorescence labeling on ultrastructurally reconstructable electron micrographs. CAptVE provides labeling for a wide range of biomarkers, offering a pathway to integrate molecular analysis into recent approaches to delineate neural circuits via connectomics.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
