Cindy:

About the most reliable technique is the enzyme histochemical method:
Leder's Napthol AS-D chloroacetate esterase (CAE). The enzyme remains
detectable after routine formalin fixation and paraffin embedding. The stain
is (+) for mast cells and granulocytes. It is (-) for other lymphoid cells.

Immunohistochemically, immature canine myeloid cells are CD32(-),
CD64(weakly +) and with maturation, as in humans, the CD64 surface antigen
is lost and CD32 is gained. A polyclonal myeloperoxidase may also work on
canine tissue.

	Hi everyone,

	Okay, here's a tough one. I might just have to give a prize out if
someone
	can help me with this. I trying to figure out a way to detect
immature
	granulocytes in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded dog liver.
