Av. Khrustalev et Ep. Hoberg, CARMINE-PROPIONIC ACID STAIN FOR ELUCIDATION OF FINE CELLULAR STRUCTURE IN NEMATODES, The Journal of parasitology, 82(1), 1996, pp. 176-178
Carmine-propionic acid staining was found to enhance the elucidation o
f cellular membranes in the esophagus and genital tract and the struct
ure of sperm in strongylate nematodes. This regressive staining techni
que may also have general utility for differentiation of cellular memb
ranes and nuclear structure in other taxa of parasitic helminths.
