[Histonet] Re: Staining for Helicobacter pylori
Besides the Warthin Starry method, you can use Steiner and Steiner (our
preferred) but go to the Sakura Finetek website, and Histologic, there was
a superb review of staining for Helicobacter a few years back, gave many
methods. Labs are also doing an immunohistochemical stain for the organism
- very specific and in a lot of ways, nicer than using silver staining
methods.
