Prussian Blue Histochemistry of Spleen

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paraffin-embedded
sections of spleens were sectioned at 5 μm
and then dehydrated as described above. The sections were stained
with a freshly prepared mixture of aqueous solutions of 20% hydrochloric
acid and 10% potassium ferrocyanide trihydrate (Sigma-Aldrich, UK)
at a volume ratio of 1:1, followed by counter staining with nuclear
fast red 0.2% aqueous solution. The slides were dehydrated through
95% and 100% ethanol solutions, respectively, with two consecutive
changes for each concentration. They were then coverslipped with resinous
mounting media and left to dry overnight. Images were collected as
described above. The percentage of blue pigmentation was analyzed
by Fiji/ImageJ software (version 1.5c; National Institutes of Health,
USA). This was obtained from three to four images from each mouse
captured at 20× after setting a threshold (n = 3 mice per group).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
