Many disorders of the central nervous system are characterized by both axonal pathology and demyelination. In assessing this concurrent pathology, techniques for staining axons or myelin are frequently used separately. Here we report the development of a combined immunohistochemical and tinctorial staining technique in which we have modified the Luxol fast blue myelin stain to be used in conjunction with a diaminobenzidine-based immunohistochemical stain for high molecular weight neurofilament (SMI-31). This modification of staining will have utility in experimental neuropathology laboratories investigating demyelination and axonal damage in human tissue and animal models.
