Histological and Histochemical Uses of Periodic Acid
Abstract
Periodic acid acts upon the 1,2 glycol linkage (-CHOH -CHOH-) of carbohydrates in tissue sections to produce aldehyde (RCHO+RCHO) which can be colored with Schiff s reagent. The method can be used on frozen or paraffin sections and is useful as a reaction for carbohydrates of tissues: glycogen (in paraffin section only), mucin, basement membrane, reticulin, the colloid of the pituitary stalk and thyroid, some of the acidophile cells of the human anterior hypophysis, the granular cells of the renal arteriole, etc.In abnormal tissues, it colors many of the “hyaline” materials— amyloid infiltrations, arteriolosclerotic hyaline, colloid droplets, mitotic figures, etc.The histochemical uses of the periodic-acid-Schiff's reagent (PAS) need careful control because of the possibility of attachment of iodate or periodate to tissue constitutents, producing a recoloration of the Schiff's reagent. Whenever possible the positive reacting material should be further identified by other methods since Lison showed other substances besides aldehydes can recolorize SchifFs reagent.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
