[Histonet] Fibronectin Histology

[Alicia Blancas]

Hello,

I have been staining scaffold material for ECM components.  Currently  
I've been using Movat pentachrome and Masson's trichrome.  I was  
wondering, does fibronectin turn a particular color using these  
staining protocols? Also, is there a histochemical way of staining for  
fibronectin (some sort of dye) or can it only be done with fibronectin  
specific antibodies (IHC)?

Much Thanks,
