The Periodic Acid-Schiff  Dye is a widely utilized strategy in histopathology for the indication of glucose and glucose-rich mixtures in tissues. PAS dyes demonstrate polysaccharides, mucin, glycogen, specific glycoproteins and glycolipids, basement membrane, and specific fungus in tissues.

Significance and Uses of Periodic Acid-Schiff  Stain

  • PAS enables the indication of glycogen, cellulose, and starch. This is valuable to see glycogen residues in the liver when glycogen repository ailment is presumed.
  • The basement membrane of varied tissues may also be imagined through the PAS pigment. The PAS is normally utilized to indicate the consistency of the glomerular basement membrane when the renal ailment is being evaluated.
  • Mucin, especially acid mucin, is indicated by PAS. It is crucial for endocervical glands, intestinal glands, and bronchial glands.
  • PAS enables the indication of cerebrosides and gangliosides. It assists in the detection of Gaucher’s disease, Krabbe’s ailment and lysosomal warehouse ailments, etc.
  • Specific dyes such as lipofuscin and tints of Dubin-Johnson syndrome are demonstrated by PAS pigment.
  • Russell bodies of plasma compartments are smudged by PAS.

The precept of PAS Stain

The Glycol class of carbohydrates is corroded by occasional acids to discharge dialdehydes. These dialdehydes in subsequent mixture with Schiff’s reagent outcome in the appearance of magenta colored intricate, localized at the area of aldehyde impression.

Preparation of Reagents for PAS Stain

Periodic Acid Solution

The occasional acid solution, utilized for oxidation is utilized in any resilience between 0.49% and 2.49%.  One percent solution is selected.

>> Occasional acid= one gm
>> Distilled water= Hundred ml

Schiff’s Reagent

>> Fuchsin Basic: 0.9 gm
>> Purified water: 100 ml
>> Sodium metabisulphite: 1.9 gm
>> Conc. HCl: 1.9 ml
>> Charcoal activated: 0.29 gm

The technique of PAS Stain

  1. Deparaffinization: heat the slip on the flame and spot it in the xylene. Reiterate the antidote to peel off the wax.
  2. Hydration: Drain xylene and hydrate the tissue compartment by enacting lessening the attention of liquor baths and water.
  3. Oxidation: Place the compartments in the periodic acid solution for five-ten minutes.
  4. Clean: Wash in at least two modifications of refined water.
  5. Antidote with Schiff’s reagent: Cover with Schiff’s reagent for an half hour.
  6. Rinse: Rinse in operating tap moisture for five-ten minutes.
  7. Counterstain: sleeve with hematoxylin for three-five minutes. Distinguish and blue for the compartments.
  8. Dehydration: Dehydrate in boosting the concentration of liquor.
  9. Clearing: Put glides in two xylene baths for clemency.
  10. Mounting: Charger in DPX or other mounting media.
  11. Scrutinize under a microscope.

Outcomes and Interpretation

The substances favorable for PAS are

Polysaccharides: Glycogen, cellulose, and starch. Many leukocytes comprise glycogen, capsules of fungi, actinomycosis, and bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ

It is seen that periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining procedure could be considered most commonly being used in your histology laboratory to further detect your glycogen deposits in liver. This is where the glycogen storage disease could be suspected. Moreover, the Glycogen granules would be visible in the tumors of the following:

  • Bladder
  • Kidney
  • Ovary
  • Pancreas
  • Lung

In general, it is seen that the glycogen could be digested by the enzyme diastase whereas your neutral mucosubstances cannot do the same. Hence, your glycogen shows the PAS-positive whereas PASD-negative staining pattern while the neutral mucosubstances could have the double positive pattern.

The PAS staining (Periodic Acid-Schiff) is said to be one of the most commonly used stains in the histology department and it is also used to further evidence presence of an aldehyde groups which gets formed by your prior test  with oxidation of any carbohydrates.

Your Good Schiff's reagent  could have ability to the rapidly turn into a red purple color. When there is a deteriorating with Schiff's reagent will with any delayed reaction with color produced would be a deep blue-purple.

The drawback and limitation of the PAS stain with your comparison to any GMS is which would not visualize any of the fungal species well, and the non-viable organisms which usually are not that well stained.

For your PAS (Periodic Acid-Schiff): The Harris Hematoxylin Histology Stain is used.
When it is designed for only the research use, it would not be approved for the human or the animal use, along with clinical diagnosis.
