Silver Staining of Alzheimer's Disease.

Paraffin sections were deparaffinized and hydrated to distilled water, then placed in 20% silver nitrate and kept in 60°C for 15 minutes, then rinsed in distilled water. Then sections were treated with formalin solution containing ammoniacal silver solution for about 15 min, followed by rinsing and placing tissue in sodium thiosulfate solution for 2 minutes and washing in tap water. The section...

Improved silver staining of nucleolar organiser regions in paraffin wax sections using an inverted incubation technique.

A new simple modification to the silver staining of nucleolar organiser regions (AgNORs) was devised which, by performing the incubation with the slide inverted, results in minimal undesirable background staining, a persistent problem. Inverted incubation is facilitated by the use of a commercially available plastic coverplate. This technique has several additional advantages over other publish...

Fractal Analysis and the Diagnostic Usefulness of Silver Staining Nucleolar Organizer Regions in Prostate Adenocarcinoma

Pathological diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma often requires complementary methods. On prostate biopsy tissue from 39 patients including benign nodular hyperplasia (BNH), atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH), and adenocarcinomas, we have performed combined histochemical-immunohistochemical stainings for argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) and glandular basal cells. After asc...
