Description

Victoria Blue R is a dye that is used in histology and cytology to stain tissue sections and cell smears. It binds to the amyloid protein in the extracellular matrix of cells, which causes them to turn blue when stained with this dye. Victoria Blue R is a synthetic dye that has been prepared by various methods, including synthesis from diazotized benzidine and phenol. The specific antibody for Victoria Blue R binds to an epitope on the amyloid protein, which is then stained by the dye. The main use of Victoria Blue R is as a counterstain in immunohistochemistry, where it can be used to identify glandular cells or tissues containing mitochondria. Victoria Blue R can also be used as an analytical method for determining phosphotungstic acid-haematoxylin reactions or as a reaction mechanism for polymeric matrix formation.
