This stain manual is an essential laboratory guide for biomedical science and similar degree programmes where students need to master a number of histochemical stains. All the stains have been used in student classes so are tried and tested, although as you probably appreciate, a number of alternate recipes are available and will be equally as good. 2. Introduction to this handbook…. Histological staining techniques are fundamental to any research laboratory, whether it is in a hospital, pharmaceutical company or other industrial setting. Although quite an ancient art, being able to carry out a good quality stain is still an essential skill today, and one that De Montfort University graduates are recognised for. The histologist is able to view structural details of cells and tissues, important for diagnosing disease, monitoring the effects of treatment or answering numerous other research questions. Good staining requires the samples to be handled in an appropriate way, sectioned carefully, fixed in an appropriate agent, and then stained and mounted for examination. You will experience these techniques in the laboratory in several of your modules, and be assessed on the quality of your technical ability. 3. Changes in 2007…. This manual was modified in 2007 to refine and refocus the main histological and histochemical methods taught on the course. It is unfortunate that many of the more complex and varied staining methods employed in our original text were no longer being employed in NHS laboratories, and in many labs indeed these processes are now fully automated. This manual therefore comprises of the most essential stains and also those chosen illustrate some key principles of histochemistry. Happy staining! 3 4. ALCIAN BLUE-PAS COMBINED TECHNIQUE….. This is a most useful technique in that apart from distinguishing between acid mucins and neutral mucins, it also serves to demonstrate most mucins in the one preparation. This means in practice that a negative result (i.e. alcian blue negative and PAS negative) can be taken to mean that a given substance is unlikely to be a mucin. The rationale of the method is that by first treating with alcian blue the acid mucins will stain and thus be unable to react with the subsequent PAS. By following on with the PAS only neutral mucins and carbohydrates, such as glycogen, will stain red. Should a haematoxylin nuclear stain be used it is important to stain weakly, to prevent cytoplasmic staining acting as a potential source of confusion with the alcian blue. Mayer's haematoxylin solution is especially suitable for this. Fixation Formalin, mercury and other fixatives. Sections Paraffin sections. Solutions 1. 1% alcian blue in 3% acetic acid. (note: alcian blue is a copper phthalocyanin dye compound, and at low pH will stain acid -including sulphated- mucopolysaccharides by salt linkage with the acidic groups.) 2. 1% aqueous periodic acid. 3. Schiff's reagent. Technique 1. Dewax sections in dewaxing agent 2. Take sections down alcohols to purified water. 3. Treat with alcian blue solution (pH2.5 or pH0.5) for 5 minutes. 4. Wash well in purified water. 5. Treat with 1% periodic acid solution for 5 minutes. 6. Wash well in purified water. 7. Stain with Schiff's reagent for 8 minutes. 8. Rinse in Scott's tap water and develop in fresh Scott’s tap water for 5 minutes until section turns to a red/magenta colour. 9. Dehydrate from 70% isopropanol up to absolute. 10. Clear in clearing agent and mount in DPX. Results Acid mucins…………………………………..blue Neutral mucins……………………………….red/magenta Mucin mixtures……………………………….purple 4 Nuclei………………………………………….pale blue 5. ALCIAN BLUE-CRITICAL ELECTROLYTE CONCENTRATIONS….. An electrolyte such as magnesium chloride can be used to inhibit alcian blue staining. The electrolyte concentration that successfully competes with the alcian blue to prevent staining is referred to as the critical electrolyte concentration (CEC). Various acid mucins have different CEC points, influenced by their molecular weights that can be identified by the use of increasing molarities of magnesium chloride in a buffered alcian blue solution. CEC Solutions Alcian blue 0.05 g Acetate buffer 0.2M pH 5.8 100 cm3 MgC12.6H2O (MWt = 203.3): added to prepare the molarity series (0.06, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 M) Technique 1. Dewax in dewaxing agent. 2. Take sections down alcohols to purified water. 3. Stain replicate sections with the series of alcian blue/MgCl2 molarities overnight at room temperature. 4. Wash well in purified water. 5. Dehydrate from 70% isopropanol, clear in clearing agent and mount in DPX. Results The following acid mucins stain blue at the various molarities 0.006M…………………………………………..all acid mucins 0.2-0.3M…………………………………………only weakly and strongly sulphated mucins 0.5-0.6M………………………… ……only strongly sulphated mucins 0.7-0.8M…………………………………………only heparin/heparan sulphate and keratan sulphate 0.9M…………………………………...only keratan sulphate 5 6. ALDEHYDE-FUCHSINE Aldehyde-fuchsine has a higher affinity for sulphated mucins and can thus be used to distinguish sulphated from carboxylated mucins. In the aldehyde-fuchsine staining technique a pre-oxidation stage (Lugol’s iodine) is used to expose the sulphur-containing moieties in the tissue. However, here oxidation is not required, though a longer staining time in the aldehyde-fuchsine is used. Technique 1. Take sections to water and rinse in 70% isopropanol. 2. Place in a Coplin jar of aldehyde-fuchsine for 20 minutes. 3. Wash in 95% isopropanol, followed by de-ionised water. 4. Dehydrate in absolute isopropanol (95% - 100%), clear and mount. Results Sulphated mucins ……….purple Carboxylated mucins…….blue 6 7 FEULGEN-SCHIFF'S REACTION for DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID (DNA) This is used in carbohydrate histochemistry and stains for sugars attached to DNA (it is therefore an indirect method of detecting DNA). As it splits the sugars from the DNA molecule, Schiff’s reagent stains and detects them. The reaction is based upon the liberation of active aldehyde groups by breaking the purine-deoxyribose bond with acid hydrolysis. The aldehydes recolour Schiff’s reagent (leucofuchsin) giving a purple colour to nuclear chromatin. Fixation Most fixatives, except Bouin's. If your section is fixed in Zenker’s, follow the directions below. Sections Paraffin sections: - These must be well dried on the slides and should be attached with adhesive to avoid section loss. Solution Schiff's Reagent (see PAS sheet) Technique 1. Dewax sections and dehydrate down alcohols to water. 2. Rinse briefly in cold (room temp.) 3. Transfer to M HCI and transfer to M HCI at 60°C for an optimal time. Place a control section in purified water at 60°C for the same time. 4. Place in Schiff's reagent for 30-60 minutes. 5. Rinse in Scott's tap water and develop in fresh Scott’s tap water for 5 minutes until section turns to a red/magenta colour. 6. Rinse 3 times in 5% aqueous sodium thiosulphate. 7. Wash in purified water. 8. Dehydrate from 70% isopropanol, clear in clearing agent and mount in DPX. Results DNA ………………………………………………….magenta Cytoplasm ……………………………………………variable if counterstain used If Zenker’s – fixed. 1. Rinse in Lugol’s iodine for 2 minutes. 2. Decolourise in 5% Na thiosulphate for 2 minutes. 7 3. Rinse in water. 8. GIEMSA STAIN (for cytological/haematological smears)….. Fixation Any Sections Cytological/haematological smears and fine needle aspirates. Solutions Stock Giemsa stain (International Committee for Standardization in Haematology; Boon & Drijvar, 1986). Azure B-thiocyanate Dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) Eosin Y disodium salt (CI) Methanol Dissolve the azure B in the DMSO and the eosin Y in the methanol, then mix the two solutions. Store in a dark bottle at room temperature. The life of the solution is prolonged by the addition of a few drops of 1.OM HCl to give an apparent pH 4.0 (N.B. this is not an aqueous solution!). (Lillie modification) also available commercially as a reagent ready for use. Azure A-eosinate 0.5 g Azure B-eosinate 2.5 g Methylene blue-eosinate 2.0 g Methylene blue chloride 1.0 g Glycerol 375 cm3 Methanol 375 cm3 Mix the methanol and glycerol, and dissolve the dyes in the mixture overnight. Complete dissolution by shaking the stain for 10 minutes. Store in a dark bottle at room temperature. Buffered Giemsa stain To 10cm3 of stock Giemsa stain add 90cm3 of pH 6.8 0.033M phosphate buffer (pH6.5 0.03M HEPES is preferable). Mix and filter before use. Prepare fresh for each set of smears. (For the azure B/eosin Y stain, ICSH recommend a 1 cm3 Giemsa to 15 cm3 buffer 8 dilution, with a staining time of 25 minutes for blood films, 35 minutes for bone marrow films, and no additional ROM stain.) Technique Use Coplin jars throughout.

  • A Study of Rawitz's 'Inversion Staining' by ALEKSANDRA PRZEL^CKA
    231 A Study of Rawitz's 'Inversion Staining' By ALEKSANDRA PRZEL^CKA {From the Cytological Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University Museum, Oxford, and the Nencki Institute, 3 Pasteur St., Warsaw 22; present address, Nencki Institute) SUMMAHY The Rawitz method involves mordanting with tannic acid and potassium antimony tartrate, and staining with basic fuchsine. The mordanting causes basic fuchsine to act as though it were an acid dye ('inversion staining'). A modification of the method is described in the present paper. This modification makes it possible to obtain the same results in a shorter time. The chief substances stained by Rawitz's method are phospholipids, certain pro- teins, and certain polysaccharides. Although the method cannot be regarded as a cytochemical test in the strict sense, yet it gives useful indications of chemical composition and in addition is valuable to the morphological cytologist as a technique for showing certain cytoplasmic inclusions (mitotic spindle, acrosome, mitochondria, 'Golgi apparatus' of certain cells). INTRODUCTION T is well known that the so-called 'Golgi apparatus' is extremely difficult to I reveal by any staining method. Baker, in the course of his investigation on this organelle in the epididymis of the mouse, found that it can be stained by basic fuchsin after a special mordanting process (1957). The method was taken from Rawitz (1895), who found that basic fuchsin, if mordanted with tannic acid and potassium antimony tartrate, loses the character of a dye for chro- matin and colours the cytoplasm instead. Rawitz called this effect 'inversion staining'. Since this technique, when applied to various kinds of cytological material, gave good selectivity in visualizing certain delicate cell structures, it seemed interesting to investigate the nature of the chemical compounds which are responsible for positive Rawitz staining.

  • Factors Affecting the Adsorption of Some Ionic Dyes on the Surface of Modify Cao from Eggshell
    Asian Journal of Applied Sciences (ISSN: 2321 – 0893) Volume 07 – Issue 01, February 2019 Factors Affecting the Adsorption of Some Ionic Dyes on the Surface of Modify CaO from Eggshell Ibtighaa K. Radhi, Mouayed A. Hussein, Zaki N. Kadhim* Department of Chemistry, College of Science, University of Basrah Basrah, Iraq *Corresponding author’s emails: zekinasser99 [AT] yahoo.com ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT--- In this paper, calcium oxide (CaO) was produced by the thermal treatment of eggshell. The doping process with silver iodide (AgI), oxygen (O), sulfur(S) and nitrogen (N) was achieved by adsorbents. The adsorption of Acid fuchsine (AF), Indigo Carmine (IC), Nigrosine (NG) and Alizarine Red S (AR) on the surface of these particles was studied. The different conditions affecting the adsorption process, such as the time of equilibrium, the primary concentration of the studied dyes, the amount of the adsorbent, the acidic function, the speed of the pruning motion and the temperature were studied. The pH stability time (5-10 minutes), IC and NG (30 minutes) and AR were (90 minutes). The effect of temperature was also studied within the range (25-45 ° C). The results showed that the adsorption capacity increased by increasing the temperature, ie the reaction is endothermic. The study showed the effect of the acidic function on the percentage of pigmentation. The percentage was increased by increasing the acidic function in the basal circles on the surfaces except for the AR dye. It decreased the percentage by increasing the acidic function. The effect of the weight of the adsorbent was studied on the percentage of adsorption.

  • Marking Tephritidae Fruit Fly Adults in Hawaii for Release-Recovery
    Vol. XXIII, No. 3, February, 1981 437 Marking Tephritidae Fruit Fly Adults in Hawaii for Release-Recovery Studies1234 W. J. SCHROEDER5AND W. C. MlTCHELL6 The need to identify released insects is paramount in studies based on release-recovery evaluations. In Hawaii identification of released oriental fruit flies, Dacus dorsalisHendel, is accomplished by rearing and releasing phenotypically distinct flies (Steiner et al, 1962). Presently, marking the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), and the melon fly, D. cucurbitae Coquillett, is accomplished with the use of Calco Blue ® dye (Steiner, 1965), Blaze Orange Day-Glo® fluorescent dye (Holbrook et al, 1970) or Tinopal® SFG fluorescent whitening agent (Schroeder et aL, 1972). Because of the need for additional markers, we routinely examine dye materials as possible external (ptilinum dye) and internal (vital dye) markers. These continuing studies include coating pupae with dye powder to determine the potential of the material as an external adult dye and addition of the dye to the larval diet followed by examination of the adult to determine the potential of the material as a vital dye. Promising mate rials are then evaluated for retention by the insect and ease of detection, and dyed insects are examined for behavioral changes. Finally the material is evaluated in a field release-recovery test. This report describes the general procedure used in dyeing and examining adult flies for the marker, lists materials tested, and discusses dyes presently used in Hawaii. General.—Adult Tephritidae are marked with an external dye by tum bling a known quantity of pupae with a known quantity of dry powder.

    The oldest synthetic organic dyestuff group: the history and analysis of the triarylmethane dyes Matthijs de Keijzer, Maarten van Bommel Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage, Department: Research P.O. Box 76709, NL-1070 KA, Amsterdam, The Netherlands [email protected] , [email protected] Regina Hofmann-de Keijzer University of Applied Arts Vienna, Department Archaeometry Salzgries 14/1, A-1013 Vienna, Austria [email protected] Abstract The present lecture focuses on the so-called triarylmethanes. This dyestuff class is the oldest synthetic organic group and produces brilliant hues, the range including reds, violets, blues and greens. During the second half of the 19 th century the triarylmethane dyes played an important role for dyeing textiles and for other applications. The history of this dyestuff group is studied by the original historical sources, included the patent literature. The start of this group was the discovery of the red-violet dye fuchsine, which was developed in the same year of the discovery of mauve but turned out to be much more important. In 1856 the Polish chemist Jakub Natanson (1832-1884) and two years later August Wilhelm Hofmann (1818-1892) obtained a red-violet dyestuff by using aniline. They were not aware of the use as a textile dye. In the same year François-Emmanuel Verguin (1814-1864), professor on the Collège of Lyon, developed a method to produce this dye, but he did not exploit this invention by himself. The production process came into the hand of the silk dyers Renard Frères & Franc in Lyon.

  • On the Function of the Casparian Strips in Roots
    Acta Bot. Neerl. 23(2), April 1974, p. 171-175. On the function of the Casparian strips in roots B. Huisinga and A.M.W. Knijff Botanisch Laboratorium, Utrecht SUMMARY The dyes safranin and basic fuchsine as well as ferric salts enter the stele when applied as dilute solutions to intactroot parts where Casparian strips are well developed.As the entrance is not hamperedwhen the protoplasm has been killed or its activity and permeability dimin- ished by low temperaturethe most likely way ofentrance is throughthe cell walls. In the Casparian strips no fatty substances could be detected. As soon as traces of fatty sub- stances are found in the ageing exodermis all entrance into cortex and stele of the substances used is blocked. 1. INTRODUCTION be On the structure of the Casparian strips many contradictory statements can found in the literature.It is often stated that the Casparian strips contain cutin, suberin, orsimilarfatty substances. Esau(1965), Scott-Russell & Barber(1960), Brouwer(1954, 1965), Priestley & North (1922), Priestley & Rhodes (1926) and van Wisselingh (1926) have stated that unsaturated fatty-acids are found in the strips. Frey-Wyssling (1959) doubted the function of these acids in the Casparian strips and suggested that the substances might be precursors of the substance later the inner surface of fatty which at a stage covers whole the endodermal cells. Kroemer (1903) and later Mylius (1913) and Ziegenspeck doubted in the (1921) the occurrence of fatty substances the Casparian strips as results of attemps to stain the strips with fat-colouring substances were negative. Warden (1935) has reported negative results with Sudan III and Sudan IV in Senecio vulgaris.

Powdered EDTA-decalcified (0.3-1mm) and undecalcified nacre (300-425µm) were cultured with mouse osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) for four weeks. Three experimental groups were com- pared in the present study. Medium for the culture was a combination of alpha-modified Eagle's medium, 10 % fetal bovine serum, and 1 % L-glutamine. The group A (n=10) applied undecalcified nacreous powder alone, whereas the group B (n=10) applied only decalcified nacreous powder. In group A and B, one grain of na- creous powder was placed in each dish.
