From: Isolation and characterization of hepatic mast cells from cholestatic rats
By toluidine blue and immunohistochemistry, we identified mast cells in other models of liver injury. (a) Toluidine blue-positive mast cells are found in the rat liver following 70% PH (3 days) and in normal rats fed taurocholic acid for 1 week (b). (c) In livers from patients with PSC coupled with cirrhosis, mast cells are shown by toluidine blue staining. Red arrows mark mast cells. Images are × 20 and × 10 magnification.
