[Histonet] Specificity of Masson's trichrome

[Patsy Ruegg]

I find the Pentachrome stain is better than trichrome for lung samples.

Does anyone have details regarding the specificity of the collagen
staining when tissues(especially lung)  are stained with Masson's
trichrome?  Is it possible that fibronectin and/or alpha smooth muscle
actin can also be stained?  We are trying to reconcile some IHC and in
vitro data.

Thanks so much!
