Proper use of the counterstain is important in the acid fast stains because

overstaining will result in masking of the organisms

  

400

In the Hotchkiss McManus modification of the pas technique, aldehydes are formed by 

periodic acid

in the peroxidase anti peroxiase method of antigen detection, the pap complex is made in the same species as the 

primary antibody

400

400

what is this staining procedure 



α-naphthyl acetate esterase

T or F EDTA decalcified tissues cannot be used for ISH methods because the decalcification process will destroy the genetic material. 

false

500

T or F: Viral organisms are easily demonstrated with special histochemical stains.

true

600

Fixatives tend to mask antigenic sites and hamper immunohistochemical localization of antigens contain

aldehydes 

600

If no enzyme activity is detected on histochemically stained sections of skeletal muscle, then the technologists should repeat the stain:

also staining a section of tissue known to contain the enzyme

700

scattered patchy blue areas are seen on the brown and hopps gram stain although the decolorization step was prolonged. This is most likely the result of 

drying of the section during the procedure.
