Differential diagnosis of trichoepithelioma (TE) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on the basis of clinical symptoms and laboratory investigations may be difficult in certain patients. The aim of the present study was to compare cluster of differentiation 10 (CD10) and androgen receptor (AR) expression patterns in BCC and TE, to investigate the predictive power of these proteins as markers of the ...

Mucous neck cells in the rat stomach which contain neutral mucin were stained with a modified Mayer's hemalum. When alcian blue staining and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reaction preceded hematoxylin staining, mucin-containing fundic gland cells could be distinguished in the same tissue sections: surface mucous cells were positive for PAS reaction and/or alcian blue staining, neutral mucin-contai...

BACKGROUND The analysis of co-localized protein expression in a tissue section is often conducted with immunofluorescence histochemical staining which is typically visualized in localized regions. On the other hand, chromogenic immunohistochemical staining, in general, is not suitable for the detection of protein co-localization. Here, we developed a new protocol, based on chromogenic immunohis...
