**H.1.1.1 Procedure
+ Fix the tissues with Bouin”Ēs fixative.
+ Prepare paraffin sections by a conventional method.
+ Put deparaffinized sections in 0.5% periodic acid solution in 5 min.
+ Rinse sections in two changes of distilled water (DW) for 1 min. each.
+ Put sections in cold Schiff”Ēs reagent for 5 min.
+ Put sections in three changes of H2SO3 solution for three min. each.
+ Rinse sections in running tap water for ten min. Regulate the time with checking the degree of staining.
+ Put sections in hematoxylin for 3-4 min.
+ Rinse sections in running tap water for ten min. Regulate the time with checking the degree of staining.
+ Dehydrate and mount sections by a conventional method.
**H.1.1.2 Notices
- All procedures are processed at room temperature.
- Bouin”Ēs fixative:~
Saturated picric acid solution 15 ml~
Formaldehyde solution 5 ml~
Acetic acid 1 ml~
Mix the above solutions before use.
- Cold Schiff:~
Stock a commercially available reagent at 4”ī, and keep it at room temperature for 30 min. before use. The reagent losing the odor cannot be used.
- H2SO3 solution:~
10%NaHSO3 6 ml~
1N HCl 5 ml~
DW 100 ml~
- Staining of the kidney:~
A photo of PAS-stained section is attached.~
The basement membrane of the renal tubules, glomerulus and Bouman”Ēs capsule, and the apical surface of the proximal tubule segment is stained with purple color. d/c, distal or collecting tubule segment; g, glomerulus; p, proximal tubule segment; l, lymphoid tissues.
