A method of staining basal-cell plasma membranes in epidermal sheets.
An adenosine triphosphatase method was devised to stain basal epidermal cell plasma membranes in sheet preparations of humans, rat, mouse and guinea pig epidermis. The method is useful for direct observation of sizes, shapes, and numbers of basal epidermal cells.
