Histological Stains

Rizka Vidya Lestari

• The most common procedure used in histologic research is the
preparation of tissue slices or “sections”
Steps

• Fixation: To preserve cell and tissue structure (ex: formalin,


formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde)
• Dehydration: To removes all water with alcohol solutions
• Clearing: Alcohol removal with xylol
• Infiltration: The tissue is placed in melted paraffin
• Embedding: The paraffin-infiltrated tissue
• Trimming: Sectioning (slicing) on a microtome
Staining

• Most cell and extracellular material are completely colorless


• Methods of staining can be use to distinguish tissue component from
one another
• Dyes stain material often behaving like acidic or basic compounds
Basic Dyes

Staining basophilic tissue components (DNA, RNA, and


glycosaminoglycans) ex:
• Toluidine blue
• Alcian blue
• Methylene blue
• Hematoxylin
Acid Dyes

Stain the acidophilic components


(mitochondria, secretory granules,
and collagen) ex:
• Eosin
• Orange G
• Acid fuchsin
Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) is used most commonly. Hematoxylin producing a
dark blue or purple color, In contrast, eosin producing a pink color

The PAS-stained tissue was counterstained with hematoxylin to show the cell nuclei
intensely
Another Dyes

• PAS (Periodic Acid–Schiff ): To determine polysaccharides and other carbohydrate


(purple/magenta)
• Masson’s trichrome: To distinguish various extracellular tissue components
• Sudan Black: To determine intracellular accumulations of cholesterol,
phospholipids, or glycolipids
• Silver stain/ metal impregnation: Using solutions of silver salts to visual certain
ECM fibers and specific cellular elements in nervous tissue
• Verhoeff van Gieson: A special stain for elastic fibers/ connective tissue
• Giemsa stain: used in cytogenetics and histopathological diagnosis
• Trypan blue: Direct identification and enumeration of live (unstained) and dead
(blue) cells

Visualizing Specific Molecules

• A specific macromolecule may also be identified by using tagged


compounds that bind specifically with the molecule of interest
• The most commonly used labels are:
1. Fluorescent compounds
2. Radioactive atoms
3. Enzymes
4. Metal (usually gold)
• These methods can be used to detect and localize specific sugars,
proteins, and nucleic acids
• Molecules that interact specifically with other molecules:
1. Phalloidin: Interacts strongly with the actin protein of
microfilaments
2. Protein A: Can be used to localize naturally antibodies bound to cell
structures
3. Lectins: Bind to carbohydrates with high affinity and specificity
Immunohistochemistry

• A highly specific interaction between macromolecules is that between


an antigen and its antibody
• To identify and localize many specific proteins
Enzymes that can be detected
histochemically:
1. Phosphatases: Remove phosphate
groups from macromolecules
2. Dehydrogenases: Transfer hydrogen
ions from one substrate to another,
such as many enzymes of the citric
acid (Krebs) cycle
3. Peroxidase: Promotes the oxidation
of substrates with the transfer of
hydrogen ions to hydrogen peroxide
