Subject: [Histonet] "MBS" in Luxol Fast Blue MBS

Hi, I had tried sending this message upon joining histonet, but I didn't
see it in the archive. That could be why I haven't gotten a reply yet!
Here it is again:

Hi, I've been using luxol fast blue MBS for myelin staining and would
like to know what the acronym "MBS"
represents.

I have read many primary sources, such as articles by Kluver and Barrera
as well as Salthouse, and I have performed internet searches with
Google, all to no avail (other than finding histonet!).

Thanks for your help!
Megan

p.s. Also, any explanations of the other acronyms used
     in luxol dyes (ARN, G and the "N" in MBSN) would
     be much appreciated!
