[Histonet] Alcain blue vs. Movats for GAG staining

[AGrobe2555 <@t> aol.com]

Hello All,
Does anyone have a handle how GAG staining by Movats Pentachrome compares  to 
low pH Alcian blue staining?  I was asked to stain for GAGs in  vascular 
sections (blood vessels and grafts), and was wondering which would be  the best 
method (please suggest other methods).  I suspect there won't  be much staining 
for GAGs anyway.  Please correct me if this is  incorrect, as I have little 
experience in this area.
Thanks,
Albert
