1.	Leukemia 01/01/1994 - "The cytochemical reactions in basophilic leukemia are positive results with toluidine blue and Astra blue stains. " 01/01/1977 - "In seven cases of acute leukemias (two acute myeloblastic and five myelomonocytic), in contrast with their normal behaviour, the eosinophils show "abnormal" cytochemical positivities consisting of chloroesterase activity, PAS and Astra blue positivities of the specific granules, toluidine blue metachromasia, and cyanide-resistant peroxidase of a few specific granules. "
2.	Basal Cell Carcinoma (Rodent Ulcer) 03/01/2001 - "Series of photographs obtained from histopathological biopsies of basal cell carcinomas from 18 patients, stained specifically for mast cells with Astra blue and nuclear red, were employed for the study. "
3.	Amyloid Plaque 01/01/1988 - "[Astra blue staining as a simple method for demonstrating senile plaques and Alzheimer fibrillary changes]." 01/01/1988 - "In comparison with the silver impregnation methods and with the thioflavine-S fluorescence method astra blue staining is an adequate technique for the demonstration of senile plaque and changes in Alzheimer's fibrils. "
4.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 08/09/1977 - "The characteristic pseudocyst, a major structural component of the neoplasm, stained strongly with HID, Astra blue, aldehyde fuchsin and Alcian blue at low pH. These staining reactions were markedly suppressed by hyaluronidase treatment, and are apparently attributable to the presence of chondroitin 4- and/or 6-sulfate. "
