[Histonet] FW: Re: Collagen stain for paraffin sections

[Sherwood, Margaret]

To all:
 
Does anyone know if the collagen stain, Masson Trichrome, would deliniate
denatured or necrotic collagen from normal collagen in paraffin sections?  One
of the researchers is looking for such a stain.  If not, is there another
collagen stain that would?  (We routinely use MTC).
