Suppression of aortic elastic tissue autofluorescence for the detection of viral antigen

  • Published:
Histochemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Suppression of aortic elastic tissue autofluorescence was achieved by employing a modification of Verhoeff's elastic tissue staining procedure. Consequently, coxsackievirus B antigen present in the aortic media was detected by conventional fluorescent antibody staining.
