‘kernechtrot’ or nuclear fast red in the histochemical detection of calcareous corpuscles in taenia saginata


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT _Taenia saginata_, like many other cestodes1, is known to contain numerous calcareous corpuscles or calcium balls distributed throughout the parenchyma. These corpuscles, in


addition to their calcium content, consist of an organic base, containing2 deoxyribo- and ribo-nucleic acids, simple proteins, glycogen and a hyaluronic acid - type of polysaccharide. With


Gomori's modified technique these corpuscles also gave a positive reaction for alkaline phosphatase. The presence of calcium in these balls was indicated by von Kossa's silver test


for calcium3. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
