Hepatitis B Virus stain kit (shikata lichen red method)
Viral Hepatitis is an infectious disease caused by hepatitis virus with degeneration and necrosis of liver parenchymal cells as the main lesions. Hepatitis B virus is a hepatitis B virus that spreads worldwide. HBsAg exists in the cytoplasm of liver cells. Currently, HBsAg and HBcAg of hepatitis B virus can be displayed by immunohistochemistry. The methods for displaying HBsAg include Shikata lichen red method, aldehyde fuchsin method, Victoria blue method, etc.
The Hepatitis B Virus stain kit (Shikata lichen red method) is simple to operate and has high specificity, but the staining effect may vary from batch to batch. The possible mechanism is that lichen red binds to the disulfide bond of cysteine ??in HBsAg, thereby developing color. HBsAg-positive substances are brown-red to dark brown, and the hepatocyte nuclei are not stained. Lipofuscin in hepatocytes is also dark brown.
