A stain for plucked anagen hairs.
Anagen and telogen plucked hairs may be difficult to distinguish based on their microscopic appearance. The root ends of plucked anagen hairs develop a red color when stained with 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde, while those of plucked telogen hairs do not. This is the result of a reaction with citrulline-containing proteins in the internal root sheath. This histochemical stain provides a simple and accurate means of determining the telogen/anagen ratio in plucked hairs.
