connective tissue stains

TermDefinition
Osmium Tetroxide only chemical method for staining fat fat becomes insoluble in alcohols and xylene tissue can be processed for paraffin embedding can counterstain with H&E or masson trichrome
Toluidine Blue Stains Mast cells
Mast cells Play a key role in inflammation and allergic reactions associated with autoimmune disorders
Sudan Black B most sensitive of lipid dyes use propylene glycol counterstained with nuclear fast red
Oil red O method for neutral fats used on frozen sections fixed with formaldehyde Harris hematoxylin blued in ammonia water
Periodic -Acid Methenamine Silver For Basement Membranes Used to detect disease in glomerular basement membrane uses periodic acid, methanimine solution, gold chloride, sodium thiosulfate, and light green counterstain

Methenamine silver silver nitrate and methenamine Working solution contains methenamine silver, distilled water and borax
Mallory PTAH Technique demonstrates cross striations and fibrin
Mallory PTAH Technique cross striations, fibrin........blue nuclei................................blue collagen............................red/brown
Gordon and Sweets Stains for reticular fibers oxidizes in 1% potassium permanganate ****bleaches in oxalic acid**** sensitizes in ferric ammonium sulfate uses ammoniacal silver formalin
Gordon and Sweets reticulin........black
Ammoniacal Silver Solution 5ml Silver nitrate ammonium hydroxide until no precipitate 5ml sodium hydroxide ammonium hydroxide until faint cloudiness dilute remaining solution to 50ml with distilled water

Gomori for reticular fibers reticulin...............black collagen..............taupe
Movat Pentachrome nuclei and elastic fibers...............black collagen...........................................yellow ground substance, mucin..............................blue fibrinoid, fibrin.........................intense red muscle...............red
Verhoeff Van Gieson for elastic fibers ferric chloride is used in the primary stain as well as a differentiater
Verhoeff stain alcoholic hematoxylin ferric chloride lugol iodine
Van Gieson stain acid fuchin picric acid *stains collagen RED
Vehoeff Van Gieson elastic fibers.... blue/black nuclei...............blue/black collagen...........red other tissue......yellow
