What Are the Types of Staining Used with Cryostat Sections?
Cryostat sections can be stained using various techniques, depending on the analysis required:
1. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) Staining: Provides general structural information about the tissue. 2. Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Uses antibodies to detect specific antigens within the tissue. 3. Special Stains: Such as Masson's trichrome or Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) stain, which highlight specific tissue components.
