8. Cytochemical Stains Flashcards
Stains lipids found in primary and secondary granules of granulocytic cells and in lysosomal granules of monocytes
Sudan black B (SBB)
Stains esterase enzymes found in neutrophils
Specific esterase (naphthol AS-D chloroacetate esterase)
Stains the esterase enzymes found in monocytes
Nonspecific esterase (α-naphthyl acetate/butyrate esterase)
Stains the isoenzymes of acid phosphatase
Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)
Stains glycogen, mucoproteins, and high-molecular-weight carbohydrates
Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)
Stains the enzyme in the secondary granules of mature neutrophils
Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP)
Stains DNA polymerase in cell nuclei
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)
Used to differentiate AML and ALL
MPO
SBB
Used to identify cells of myeloid in origin
Specific esterase
Used to diagnose AML of myeloid versus monocytic in origin
Nonspecific esterase
Positive diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia
TRAP
Used to diagnose AML of erythroid or megakaryoblastic in origin
PAS
Used for differentiation of CML and leukemoid reaction
LAP
LAP activity of CML
Low activity
LAP activity of leukemoid reaction
High activity
