Uses of Cytochemical Stains
- Used in the study of cell differentiation and in the classification of
acute leukemias - Used in the differentiation of leukocytosis and leukemoid reactions
from genuine myeloproliferative disorders - Used in the characterization of lymphoproliferative disorders
- Used in the demonstration of free iron, Hb derivatives, DNA, RNA,
and red cell enzymes in RBC and WBC
In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, MPO in granulocytes
oxidizes benzidine dihydrochloride from a colorless to a reddish
brown derivative at the site of the enzyme
Peroxidase Stain/ Myeloperoxidase
Peroxidase Stain/ Myeloperoxidase positive and negative in
Positive: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Negative: Acute Lymphoid Leukemia (ALL)
It stains lipids, such as sterols, neutral fats, and phospholipids
because of the solubility of the dye in lipid particles and appears
dense black or bluish black
Sudan Black B Stain
Sudan Black B Stain positive and negative in
Positive: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Negative: Acute Lymphoid Leukemia (ALL)
differentiate granulocytic from monocytic leukemias
Stain for Esterases
specific stain for esterase
Naphthol AS-D Chloroacetate Esterase (specific)
non specific stain for esterase
α-naphthyl Acetate Esterase (non-specific)
Naphthol AS-D Chloroacetate Esterase (specific)
positive and negative in
Positive: Granulocytic Leukemia
Negative: Monocytic Leukemia
α-naphthyl Acetate Esterase (non-specific)
positive and negative in
Positive: Monocytic Leukemia
Negative: Granulocytic Leukemia
gives a positive reaction to polysaccharides,
mucopolysaccharides, glycoproteins and glycogen
Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Reaction
Periodic acid is an oxidizing agent that converts hydroxyl groups
on adjacent carbon atoms to aldehydes and further combined with
Schiff’s reagent to give a red color product
Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Reaction
Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) Reaction positive and negative in
Positive: Granulocytes, Platelet, Erythroleukemia/M6
Negative: Acute Lymphoid Leukemia (ALL), Burkitt
Lymphoma
Monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies against factor VIII-related
antigen have given positive results in megakaryoblastic leukemia
Factor VIII Antibodies
ALL is positive and negativ in what stains
negative in MPO SBB NASDA Factor VIII
ANAE PAS positive and V
differentiates CML from a leukemoid reaction seen in severe
infections
.Leukocyte Alkaline Phosphatase (LAP) Stain

diagnostic tool for confirmation of hairy cell leukemia
Acid Phosphatase (Tartrate Resistant)
- stain for iron - it gives a positive reaction in cases of cells
containing iron, ringed sideroblasts, and siderocytes
Prussian Blue/ Perl’s Stain
