Abstract

The ethanolic phosphotungstic acid technique of Bloom and Aghajanian has been applied to formalin-fixed neuropathological specimens. The staining reactions of various normal organelles were studied as well as a number of pathological alterations including Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangles, eosinophilic rod-like structures, corpora amylacea, lamellar bodies and honeycomb-like structures in the axoplasm.
