What are the Histological Techniques for Studying Acid Phosphatase?
Several histological techniques can be employed to study acid phosphatase activity. Histochemical staining methods, such as the Gomori method and the use of naphthol AS-BI phosphate, are commonly used. These techniques involve incubating tissue sections with specific substrates that react with acid phosphatase to produce a colored product. The resulting color change can be observed under a microscope, providing information about the localization and intensity of enzyme activity.
