RE: [Histonet] Fontana
What stain platform are you using? -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Martin, Erin Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 11:04 AM To: histonet Subject: [Histonet] Fontana Hello everone, We recently stained about 20 slides with Fontana for a research project. They were all fine except for 3 or 4 slides on which the pathologist says that the stratum corneum is overstained. The rest of the tissue is fine but that layer is too black. Now I have to fix the problem. Does anyone have an idea of why just that layer would overstain? On only a few slides of the set? Thank you!

Re: [Histonet] fontana
Any histological structure able to reduce silver into a black precipitate (argentaffin reaction) will be stained with the Fontana-Masson procedure.

Re: [Histonet] Fontana Masson
Probably the best place to start is in Pearse's "Histochemistry" 4= th ed Vol 2 p.881 (1985). There is plenty of other interesting stuff= about melanin in the same chapter. There's also Lillie & Fu= llmer's "Histopathologic Technic ..." 4th ed p.522-527 (19= 76). Unfortunately neither book explains the chemistry of the argentaf= fin reaction of melanin.
