The method is specific and inexpensive and develops the inclusions even in stored, formalin-fixed, or autolysed material, which has made it a routine histochemical stain for the antigen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopper-associated protein.\u003c\/strong\u003e The same Shikata method stains a copper-associated protein in hepatocyte cytoplasm in long-standing cholestatic liver disease.
