Re: [Histonet] Stain for Proteoglycans
If you simply want to stain all proteoglycans, use alcian
blue at pH 2.5. It will bind to the glycosaminoglycan
components, which make up the bulk of proteoglycan
molecules. Alcian blue will also stain heparin (mast
cell granules), but they are unlikely cause confusion.
