Report No: DOT/FAA/AM-66/26
Title and Subtitle: Problems in aerial application: histochemistry of Weil stain on liver.
Report Date: November 1966
Authors: Clark G.
Abstract: By use of histochemical blocking and extraction procedures, it was possible to show that the cytoplasmic compound to which the Weil stain attaches is a lipid containing a secondary amine. It is suggested that the compound could be further characterized chemically. This material is increased in dieldrin and endrin poisoning and decreased in cold adaptation.
Key Words: liver, cytochemistry, histological techniques, insecticides, poisoning, amines, lipids, biological stains, halogenated hydrocarbons, toxicity, aviation medicine.
