  • Title: Simple butyrate esterase stain for monocytes.
    Author: Lawrence C, Grossman R.
    Journal: Stain Technol; 1979 Nov; 54(6):321-3. PubMed ID: 94951.
    Abstract:
    The esterases used to identify monocytes are best demonstrated using alpha-naphthyl butyrate as substrate. However, the reagents commonly used for this stain are time-consuming to prepare and are unstable. This report describes a quick, easy, and reproducible staining method using stable reagents which are readily available commercially but which may also be prepared in the laboratory.
