Erratum: Staining for Acetylcholinesterase in Brain Sections

X-gal Staining on Adult Mouse Brain Sections.

Knowing expression patterns of given proteins is very important to understand their functions. Immunostaining analysis with specific antibodies is commonly used to identify cells or tissues expressing proteins of interest. Although this technique is regularly used, it requires high quality of specific antibodies and there is no good quality of antibody available for certain proteins. Alternativ...

Staining of toxoplasma in histological sections.

EXTRACELLULAR toxoplasma, although present in abundance in smears from animals infected experimentally, can only occasionally be found in sections from suspected toxoplasma lesions. In the eye, Wilder (1952a, b) has described organisms morphologically indistinguishable from toxoplasma in cases of granulomatous uveitis, but even in these sections the organisms were not numerous and were found on...

Microfluidics for rapid cytokeratin immunohistochemical staining in frozen sections

Frozen sections (FS) of tumor samples represent a cornerstone of pathological intraoperative consultation and have an important role in the microscopic analysis of specimens during surgery. So far, immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings on FS have been demonstrated for a few markers using manual methods. Microfluidic technologies have proven to bring substantial improvement in many fields of diagn...

A Device for Staining Tissue Sections for Electron Microscopy

It has been the experience of this laboratory that the lead hydroxide stain of Watson (1) gives excellent results in increasing contrast in thin sections of tissue, but that the stain is inconvenient to use because on contact with air it forms an insoluble precipitate which contaminates both the stored solution and the sections. 1 Contamination introduced in transferring the solution from the s...
