The historical development of the I2-sulfuric acid reaction for amyloid is described. The reaction dates back to 1814 when Colin and Gaultier de Claubry, and independently Stromeyer, introduced the I2 reaction for starch. A variant of the acidified I2 reaction was used for printing paper by Gmelin in 1829, and in 1838 Schleiden used the I2-sulfuric acid test on plants to demonstrate a transformation of the plant material into starch. Payen (1839) defined cellulose, and the I2-sulfuric acid reaction became a standard procedure used by botanists to demonstrate this plant component. In 1853 Virchow used Harting''s (1847) procedure to demonstrate the reaction of Purkyne''s corpora amylacea to this test, on the assumption that they might be cellulose derivatives, and applied it to what appeared to be similar corpuscles in a waxy spleen. The 1st histochemical reaction for amyloidosis had thus been introduced into pathology, and continued to exert an important influence on amyloid research.
