Arch Pathol, 94: 187, 1972. Elastic fibers are connective tissue fibers that allow tissues to stretch, and are abundant in the aorta, for example, where they provide flexibility to this large blood vessel. They can also help diagnose epithelial versus non-epithelial tumors. O'Brien KD, Reichenbach DD, Marcovina SM, Kuusisto J, Alpers CE, Otto CM. Our Open Innovation (OI) partnerships enable easy integration across technologies, supporting fluorescent and chromogenic protocols, and helping to answer your most pressing research questions. Structures that bind hematoxylin are therefore termed "basophilic" (base loving).

VVG is a two-part combination stain that enables differentiation of some connective tissue components in a tissue that are not easily distinguished by H&E staining: Verhoeff stain component: an iron-haematoxylin stain that is specific for elastic fibers. Life-changing diagnoses for every patient reside in every slide. Histological and immunohistochemical studies. Unlike Verhoeff's method, it is a progressive stain and may require no further differentiation. Every BOND system is complete, automated, and engineered for speed, reliability and accuracy with each configuration tailored to address discovery challenges. Under-differentiation is preferred in the Verhoeff stain, as picric acid used in the van Gieson counterstain serves to differentiate the elastic fibers further. Resources in the University of Michigan Histology Dropbox. Disorders of increased elastic tissue include focal elastosis and elastomas, while disorders of diminished elastic fibers include anetoderma, nevus anelasticus, cutis laxa and perifollicular elastolysis, among others. Dehydrate in absolute alcohol, clear in xylene, Marfan syndrome, caused by autosomal dominant mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1), results in a defective scaffold for elastin deposition.

Verhoeff's stain - Wikipedia Verhoeff's stain, also known as Verhoeff's elastic stain (VEG) or Verhoeff-Van Gieson stain (VVG), [1] is a staining protocol used in histology, developed by American ophthalmic surgeon and pathologist Frederick Herman Verhoeff (1874-1968) in 1908. It is probably better to err on the side of under differentiating. The initial stage is the Verhoeff stain component, using hematoxylin, iron (III) chloride and an iodine solution. Mix [28],[29]In a case of melanoma arising within a nevus, elastic fibers may be noted to be absent from the melanoma component and retained within the nevus aspect of the lesion.

Leica Biosystems provides complete access to today's hottest topics in life sciences and in tissue-based translational research. The etiology of elastofibromas is unclear but may be secondary to an inherited predisposition, enzymatic defect causing abnormal elastic fiber formation or repeated friction. Elastic fibers are components of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue produced by fibroblasts. Movat Pentachrome is a super connective tissue stain. FIXATION: 10% buffered neutral formalin.

The elastic tissue remains darkly stained as in the traditional Verhoeff stain, although the Masson stain results in a contrasting stain of muscle fibers and keratin red, while collagen and bone are stained green or blue.

It is not necessary to remove mercury deposits before Our purpose is to enable researchers to accelerate their journey, transforming scientific exploration into translational outcomes. LEICA and the Leica Logo are registered trademarks of Leica Microsystems IR GmbH. They are also present in other tissues that need flexibility, such as skin and lung. Be sure to follow the order of adding all reagents when making the Verhoeffs solution. The dyes are also used to differentiate between smooth muscle and collagen in tumors and verify increase of collagen. Adopting digital pathology is complex, but it doesnt have to be complicated. Hematoxylin is the most commonly used nuclear stain in histology and pathology although, despite its long use and honorable history, the chemistry of the dye is still not fully understood.
