Histochemical Studies on the Entity of Ceroid.

Report 2. A Histochemical Study on the Components of Ceroid.

Abstract

Thus far, many reports have been presented on the general histochemical characteristics of ceroid.
However, their contents seem to have been limited to descriptions as to whether the use of various histochemical methods yields positive or negative findings on this pigment; therefore, reports dealing histochemically with significance of such findings, their interrelations as well as the components of the pigment, can be said to be hitherto scarcely seen.
Against this background, the auther has reviewed the various histochemical positive results obtained on ceroid, and has contrived the histochemical assay methods for ceroid by the combined employment of various pretreatments which might lead towards the discrimination of ceroid from lipofuscin.
