How are Paneth Cells Identified in Histological Staining?
Paneth cells can be identified using various histological staining techniques. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is commonly used, where the eosinophilic granules of Paneth cells are stained intensely pink. Immunohistochemistry can also be employed to detect specific markers like lysozyme, making it easier to distinguish Paneth cells from other cell types in the intestinal epithelium.
