Intended use- Combined staining method for demonstration of Helicobacter pylori (blue) and epithelial mucins (yellow) on paraffin-embedded gastric tissue sections for optical microscopy.
PrinciplePrior oxidation with periodic acid renders gastric epithelial mucins, normally not stained by Alcian-group dyes, highly reactive to Alcian yellow, forming an insoluble and stable complex. Bacteria are subsequently visualized using toluidine blue.
Method- 1) Hydrate the section in distilled water.
- 2) Apply 10 drops of reagent A to the section; incubate 10 minutes.
- 3) Rinse thoroughly in distilled water.
- 4) Apply 10 drops of reagent B; incubate 5 minutes.
- 5) Rinse in tap water for 2 minutes.
- 6) Apply 10 drops of reagent C to the slide; incubate 5 minutes.
- 7) Rinse thoroughly in distilled water.
- 8) Apply 8 drops of reagent D and 2 drops of reagent E to the section; incubate 3 minutes.
- 9) Rinse thoroughly in distilled water.
- 10) Air dry.
- 11) Dehydrate in alcohol, clear in xylene and mount.
