Histological techniques used to study degranulation include:
- Staining Methods: Special stains such as toluidine blue are used to identify granules in mast cells and basophils. - Electron Microscopy: This allows for the detailed visualization of granules and their release mechanisms at the ultrastructural level. - Immunohistochemistry: Antibodies against granule contents can be used to localize and quantify degranulation in tissue sections.
