How is Ferritin Visualized in Histological Sections?
Ferritin storage can be visualized using special staining techniques. The most common method is the use of the Prussian blue stain, which specifically binds to iron deposits, turning them a blue color. This allows for the identification of iron-rich cells under a light microscope. Immunohistochemistry can also be employed using antibodies specific to ferritin to provide more precise localization.
