Happy New Year everyone!
I'm not very familiar with the use of Wright-Giemsa and May-Grunwald
stains. I've had limited experience in using these two stains.
I understand that these two stains are two different staining formulations,
but I've been asked to find out if The May-Grunwald stain will
demonstrate viruses in any form in paraffin sections. If it does what is
the expected result ( how will it be demonstrated) ? Does it demonstrate
Viral Inclusion bodies of only some viruses and not others? I know a
Wright Giemsa will demonstrate various parasites and bacteria on a blood
smear, but do not know if it demonstrates viruses in Paraffin tissue
sections.
The person I'm asking for is a customer that is specifically looking for
Adenovirus. I've suggested they find a vendor that sells the Adenovirus
antibody, but they seem intent on using May-Grunwald. If M-G works, would
a regular Wright Giemsa work ?
Your Knowledgeable input is ,as always, very much appreciated.
Thanks
:)
