Modern Proteomic Technologies with Traditional Histopathology Techniques

Combining Modern Proteomic Technologies with Traditional Histopathology Techniques 

One of the most commonly used staining procedures involves hematoxylin and eosin, but it was found that the dyes interfere with either the proteins or the MALDI process. As a consequence, the quality of the mass spectra is significantly compromised [54], When five other staining protocols (Terry s Polychrome, Toluidine Blue, Nuclear Fast Red, Cresyl Violet, and Methylene Blue) were compared to a control section (unstained tissue rinsed in 70% and 100% ethanol), Cresyl Violet and Methylene Blue had the highest degrees
