title: Histological staining of hepatitis B antigen in paraffin embedded liver tissue.
abstract: Two hundred and six unselected liver biopsies were stained with Gomori's aldehyde fuschin, aldehyde thionine, and a modified orcein stain, according to Shikata and others (1974). Six cases showed positive cytoplasmatic staining indicative of hepatitis B antigen. It is suggested that one of these methods should be used in the study of liver biopsies, as an additional tool in the detection of hepatitis B carriers.
