ABSTRACT

The Staining methods of PAS and Alcian blue may display the neutral and acidic mucus in many tissues, but are not ideal for the cells and tissues containing only weak acidic mucus. A modified method of Mayer's hematoxylin stain was used for staining gastric mucous neck cells with weak acid and the result was satisfactory. It ocmplements the PAS and Alcian blue staining methods.
