JENNER'S STAIN

Jenner's Stain is a dye that is used in microscopy for staining blood smears. Jenner's Stain can be used for the chromosome stain by C-banding technique. Jenner's Stain can be used for the stain for routine blood examinations and malarial staining[1].

Jenner's Stain (10%) is used for the strain of wheat-rye hybrids e to obtain bands simultaneously on both the rye and the wheat B genome and 4A chromosomes[1]. In malarial blood the pigmented bodies of tertian fever and the crescent bodies of mstivo-autumnal fever are readily demonstrated with Jenner's stain[2]. With Jenner's stain, the nuclei of all the forms are stained a light blue and the cytoplasm a light pink[3]. With Jenner's stain, flooded with the stain for about three minutes and then washed by gentle agifation in a dish of distilled water until the specimen has attained a pink hue[3].
