Abstract
Dithionite reduction is an excellent method for removing Fe from ultrathin sections [of mouse liver Kupffer cells]. It inflicts the least harm on tissues and is very effective in preventing desiderization compared to other methods for removing Fe from tissues. Ferritin or hemosiderin can be identified by this procedure.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
