Developed by George Papanicolaou in the 1940's, the papanicolaou (PAP) stain allows for the histiological differentiation of a variety of cells in vaginal smears for detection of vaginal, uterine and cervical cancer.
Both EA-50 and OG-6 serve as the primary stains resulting in pink, green, orange, yellow, or borwn cytoplasm, pink-to-red nucleoli, cilia, squamous cells, and red blood cells. A modified Mayer's Hematoxylin acts as a secondary stain, producing blue chromatin and nuclei.
