A histological stain for detecting Friend leukemic cells in fixed hemopoietic tissue.
A histological stain described by Menzies in 1963 has been useful in detecting early evidence of erythroleukemia (Friend disease) in mouse hemopoietic tissues fixed in formaldehyde solution. With the use of this stain, one can distinguish erythroblastic leukemia cells from lymphoblastic leukemia cells.
