Freeze-sectioning followed by freeze-drying completely preserves the topographic distribution of soluble substances, with the additional advantage of permitting permanent mounting. This rapid and effective technique was applied to study the distribution of fluorescence of the cytotoxic drug Doxorubicin in microscopic slices from in vivo treated animals. A fluorescent conjugate of different fluorescence, Blankophor-G-Dextran, which remained in the vessels, was used in the same living animals to characterize the vascular supply in the kidney of treated mice in relation to Doxorubicin distribution.
