UND 363 Gomori TRI
UND 363 Gomori Trichrome One Step
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Purpose of Gomori Trichrome (2) | Id collagen from muscle, ID increased collagenous connective tissue |
Principle of Gomori Trichrome | Plasma stain and connective tissue fiber stain mixed with phosphotunstic acid and acetic acid |
How doe the principle function | Phosphotunstic acid stains muscle and cytoplasm red. The tungstate Ion takes up collage and binds the conn. tissue fiber stain to this complex. (collage can be green or blue depending on color stain) |
Fixatives of Gomori Trichrome | Bouins - mordant (intensify the color reaction, any well fixed tissue is OK |
microns cut at? and 2 facts pertaining to sections | 4-5 micron, NOT glycolmethacrlate sections (due to acid), OK for FS (cryo) sections |
Control of Gomori Trichrome | is built in, but uterus, sm. int. appendix and fall. tube can be used |
List reagents of Gomori Trichrome | Bouins (mordant), Weigert (iron hematox) nuclear stain, Gomori (chromotrope 2r w/ fast green/lt green/or aniline blue w/phosphotung acid w/ acetic acid) |
What are the components of the gomori stain for? | chromotrope 2r - plasma stain (hydrophilic), fast green/lt. green/aniline blue - conn. tissue counterstain, phosphotung acid - red stain of muscle and cyto *acts a bind for fast grn. etc..), acetic acid - diff's conn. tissue fibers |
what is an issue with lt green | prone to fading |
facts about fast green | green anion, larger than chromotrope 2r and more hydrophilic |
what can be used instead of acetic acid? | use HCL - will intensify Conn. tissue fiber colorization |
typical results of Gomori Trichrome | Nuclei - black, cyto/keratin/muscle - red, collagen/muscle - green or blue |
What can cause weak staining of Gomori Trichrome | if pale blue collagen w/ no red tinge - must reduce time in post stain acetic acid |
what are two unexpected coloring results and why/fixed | yellow tinge - if bouins fixed (the sections need to be washed more), Too red - check PH of dye bath (ph less or = to 2) *adjust with .1m HCL |
what will cause the stain to change | stain will change with increased staining time and w/ dye ratio |
What will conditions (ex burns) do to the collagen | will turn collagen red and not blue |
what can be done if fine collagen fibers appear fuzzy | increase acidity of dye bath |
