Determination of collagen content within picrosirius red stained paraffin-embedded tissue sections using fluorescence microscopy
Picrosirius red (PSR) staining is a commonly used histological technique to visualize collagen in paraffin-embedded tissue sections. PSR stained collagen appears red in light microscopy. However it is largely unknown that PSR stained collagen also shows a red fluorescence, whereas live cells have a distinct green autofluorescence. Both emission patterns can be detected using standard filter set...
متن کاملPolarization microscopy of picrosirius red stained sections: a useful method for qualitative evaluation of intestinal wall collagen.
Collagen pattern in healing anastomosis of intestinal wall was compared with its normal pattern in the submucosal layer. Polarization colours were recorded for thin (0.8 micron or less) and thick (1.6-2.4 micron) collagen fibres. The polarization colours of thick collagen fibres in the anastomotic site were more greenish-yellow and yellow than those in normal intestine which were more yellowish...
متن کاملMultiparameter immunofluorescence on paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
Immunohistochemical techniques have gained increasing importance in diagnostics and research. While formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissue retains excellent morphology, the detection of antigens by immunofluorescence in its sections and especially the demonstration of multiple simultaneous antibodies have limitations. Double immunofluorescence labeling of routinely processed paraffin se...
متن کاملIdentification of 5-Hydroxytryptamine-Producing Cells by Detection of Fluorescence in Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Sections
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) produced by enterochromaffin (EC) cells is an important enteric mucosal signaling ligand and has been implicated in several gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease and functional disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome. The present study reports a new, simple and rapid visualization method of 5-HT-producing EC cells utilizing detection of au...
متن کاملEnabling Multiphoton and Second Harmonic Generation Imaging in Paraffin-Embedded and Histologically Stained Sections
Nonlinear microscopy, namely multiphoton imaging and second harmonic generation (SHG), is an established noninvasive technique useful for the imaging of extracellular matrix (ECM). Typically, measurements are performed in vivo on freshly excised tissues or biopsies. In this article, we describe the effect of rehydrating paraffin-embedded sections on multiphoton and SHG emission signals and the ...
