Abstract
An alcoholic solution of the compound dye, pina-cyanol erythrosinate when diluted to the optimum dissociation point is a differential tissue stain which, in addition, selectively stains and differentiates mast cells. It can be made up and used like any other compound dye (e.g., Bowie's stain, neutral gentian, etc. or like a blood stain). It can be used after any of the common fixatives and has the advantage of selectively staining all types of mast cells in their various functional phases, even in those species (notably rabbit and man) in which they may be difficult to demonstrate with other mast cell stains after aqueous fixatives.Keywords
