Rhodamin B stain for keratin: evaluation of its specificity and its application in dermal pathology.
We used Rhodamin B stain in sections of normal skin, benign and malignant epithelial tumors and dermatoses. Keratin staining was uneven and showed variation in different lesions. While trichohyalin of the anagen hair follicle stained with intensity, keratohyalin granules failed to show similar reaction.
