• Description: Alcian Yellow is a dye that can be used as an acidophilic stain for the detection of mucin, which is a glycoprotein that coats the surface of cells in various tissues. Alcian Yellow is used to detect ovarian follicles and identify cancerous tissue. Alcian Yellow has also been used to detect neurosecretory granules in brain tissue samples. The dye is detectable by immunohistochemical staining with a monoclonal antibody, and its detection sensitivity can be increased by adding a radiation-emitting substance such as cobalt-60 gamma rays. Alcian Yellow stains are usually visible on skin surfaces and may indicate the presence of fungal infections or dermatitis. Alcian Yellow can also be used for diagnosis purposes, such as detecting cancerous lesions or diagnosing skin conditions, including acne or psoriasis.
