Remember that all neuropath silvers are,
to say the least, capricious
(bitter experience). They can be used to demonstrate anything by
varying time, temp, pH etc. Use the method as a guide but be
prepared to vary to suit local conditions. If possible get a
method from a lab with the same water
hardness.
Another avenue worth exploring is immuno.
It's easier and produces good results. Antibodies worth looking
at include PHF-Tau-AT8, Alzheimer Precursor Protein A4, Beta Amyloid
and Beta Amyloid Peptide.
I am looking for a stain to show
the neurofibrillary changes found in Alzheimer's
disease. A couple of findings from our pathologist was
the Cross Modified Palmgren stain, with no reference on how to
prepare the stain and the Bielschowski's technique. Anyone
have any suggestions?
Thanks,
