Alcian blue 8GS: a new stain for mucin.
1. Doubtful specificity. Not only mucins accept the stain; other elements such as nuclei, connective tissues, &c, may do so as well. 2. Loss of stain. In some cases where mucin is stained in a specific manner by dilution of the stain used, by adjustment of the pH of the stain solution, or by metachromatic properties of the stain, it is frequently difficult or impossible to dehydrate, clear, and...
متن کاملExperience with the sodium sulphate-Alcian Blue stain for amyloid in cardiac pathology.
The sodium sulphate-Alcian Blue (SAB) method, which stains amyloid green, was evaluated in 220 hearts from elderly patients. The technique proved superior to the Congo red, crystal violet, and thioflavine T methods used either singly or as a battery for the demonstration of cardiac amyloid. Amyloid was easily identified under the X3 objective, even in small amounts. A few non-amyloid components...
متن کاملBasophil counting with a new staining method using alcian blue.
Difficulties in obtaining reproducible and accurate enumeration of circulating basophils with existing techniques have hampered investigation of this infrequent cell population. A new basophil staining method is described that employs alcian blue dye for staining of heparin within basophils at low pH and in the presence of lanthanum ions. Basophil recognition is facilitated by reducing nonspeci...
متن کاملA colorimetric assay for mucous glycoproteins using Alcian Blue [proceedings].
The present paper describes a simple, sensitive technique for measurement of respiratory mucous glycoproteins that involves their precipitation with the cationic dye Alcian Blue. The assay was adapted from that described by Whiteman (1973) for measurement of urinary glycosaminoglycans. This method is useful for measurement of mucins secreted in response to stimulating agents in isolated airway ...
متن کاملOrcein-alcian blue staining: a new technique for demonstrating acid mucins in gastrointestinal epithelium.
Orcein-alcian blue staining, a new method for the simultaneous demonstration of sulphated and sialomucins in gastrointestinal epithelium was compared with the standard high iron diamine-alcian blue technique. Sections were oxidised with potassium permanganate and decolourised in oxalic acid. They were stained with orcein for four hours, differentiated for a few seconds in acid alcohol, and then...
