Molecular diagnostics of gliomas: state of the art.

abstract：:An in vivo method for positively staining dead neurons was developed and compared with an in vitro staining method using acid fuchsin. Neurons previously killed by intracerebral injections of kainic acid were selectively stained by trypan blue within 15 min of its injection in vivo into the central nervous system of r...
