Glycol methacrylate embedding for light microscopy. I. enzyme histochemistry on semithin sections of undecalcified marrow cores.

A simple, routine procedure for water miscible glycol methacrylate (GMA) embedding of undecalcified bone marrow cores, which preserves the activity of enzymes useful in diagnosing various haematopoietic disorders, is described. The GMA used in this study has a low acid content that eliminates background staining, and the modified May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain provides good definition and excellent ...

Studies on Enzymatic Histochemistry

Extraction experiments demonstrated that choline esterase could be removed from microtome sections of tissue with as great facility by 0.9 per cent NaCl as by 30 per cent glycerol. The quantitative distribution of choline esterase through the wall of the pig stomach was studied, and it was found that the epithelial cell region possessed the greatest activity and muscle tissue the least. Pylorus...
