Abstract
A simple technique for concomitant staining of mast and parietal cells in the same section is described. Mast cells were stained by alcian blue or astra blue in methanol-formalin-acetic acid fixed biopsies of gastric mucosa. Parietal cells were visualized by Dolichos biflorus lectin binding.
