Question
Answer
what is M.M. Colloidal Iron often used instead of?   alcian blue PAS  
🗑
purpose of M.M. Colloidal Iron   demonstrate carboxylated and sulfated mucopolysaccharides and glycoproteins  
🗑
what is the ADV. of M.M. Colloidal Iron over alcian blue PAS   more sensitive for acid mucins particularily when they are in small amounts (ie acid mucins in mesotheliomas)  
🗑
principle of M.M. Colloidal Iron   colloidal ferric iron ions absorbed by carboxylated and sulfated mucosubstances because of low PH **iron bound tissue will be shown by the prussian blue reaction**  
🗑
Explain how the prussian blue reaction forms   potassium ferrocyanide treatment- the ferric ions will form ferric ferrocyanide (ie prussian blue)  
🗑
general fixatives of M.M. Colloidal Iron   10% NBF, Carnoys, alcoholic formalin AVOID chromatic fixatives (will oxidize polysaccharides ie Zenkers, Hellys, orths)  
🗑
thickness/control for M.M. Colloidal Iron   4-5micron, sm. bowel, appendix, colon  
🗑
microscope for M.M. Colloidal Iron   Light  
🗑
list the 5 major reagents of M.M. Colloidal Iron   Acetic acid *12%*, colloidal iron, ferrocyanide/hydrochloric acid, water, nuclear fast red  
🗑
what is the function of the 12% acetic acid and colloidal iron in M.M. Colloidal Iron   acetic acid 12% prevents watery dilution of colloidal iron, colloidal iron stains the acidic mucosubstances  
🗑
what does the ferrocyanide/HCL do in M.M. Colloidal Iron   stain carboxylated and sulfated mucosubstances  
🗑
what does the water and nuclear fast red do in the M.M. Colloidal Iron   water washes out the excess reagent, and the nuclear fast red is the counterstain  
🗑
typical results of M.M. Colloidal Iron   acid mucosubstances and sialomucins - dk blue, nuclei - pink red, cytoplasm - pink, cryptococcus - dk blue  
🗑
what can PAS do for M.M. Colloidal Iron   can act as a counterstain (if PAS positive it will stain magenta), and acid/neutral/mixes of mucosubstances will be purple, acid mucosubstances ONLY will be Blue  
🗑
M.M. Colloidal Iron is not specific for what?   acid mucopolysaccharides  
🗑
if the background gets overstained what should be done.   repeat using fresh solutions  
🗑
what other stain will appear visually similar to colloidal iron   alcian blue stain will appear similar to colloidal iron  
🗑
