How is Eosinophilic Infiltration Identified in Histological Samples?
In histological samples, eosinophils are identified using various staining techniques. The most common method is the use of Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stain, where eosinophils appear pink due to their eosinophilic granules. Special stains such as Congo red and Giemsa can also be used for better visualization of the granules. In addition, immunohistochemical staining can identify specific markers like major basic protein (MBP) to confirm the presence of eosinophils.
