Gliosis and glioma distinguished by acridine orange.

摘要: Acridine orange fluorochrome of nucleic acids was applied to sections cerebral tissue from 20 patients showing acute or chronic reactive gliosis. The results were compared with the findings in 39 well differentiated and malignant astrocytomas. cytoplasmic fluorescence ribonucleic acid is lacking astrocytes all ages including gemistocytes, but uniformly present astrocytoma cells. a useful supplementary stain for distinguishing between astrocytosis astrocytoma, particularly small biopsies scattered diffusely infiltrating pleomorphic glial
