We use a Potassium Permanganate method here. The reference is Wright JR, Clakins E, ZHumphrey RL: Potassium Permanganate reaction in amyloidosis: a histological method to assist in differentiating forms of this disease. Lab Invest. 36:274-281, 1977

Hello histonetters!!
I am doing a routine Congo Red stain for Amyloid deposits, but has anyone out
there ever heard of a Potassium Permanganate 1% dip to bleach and distinguish
between primary and secondary amyloid??? This may be an old procedure. Any
help would be greatly appreciated!! Please e-mail me directly at
dbrocato@uic.edu.
Thanks all!
