Abstract
A new silver method for senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NF T) in paraffin sections is presented. This new technique is rapid in e xecution (15 min) and reveals senile plaques of all morphological type s as well as NFT. The silver staining is spatially congruent with immu nocytochemical staining for the beta-amyloid peptide (A beta) in adjac ent sections.
