• Description: Cresyl violet acetate is a dye that is used in histology to stain tissue sections. It binds to basic proteins, such as those found in the cytoplasm and nucleus, and has a strong affinity for nucleic acids. Cresyl violet acetate can be used to identify inflammatory lesions and other biological samples. The dye has been shown to induce neuronal death by reducing the redox potentials of neurons through the activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Basic proteins are also involved in oral hypoglycaemic activity.
