Cells from a noncancerous reaction stain positive with many intense blue granules; cells from chronic myelogenous leukemia have few blue granules.o Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase stain (TRAP)Is primarily used to identify hairy cell leukemia cells.o Leukocyte specific esteraseThis stain identifies granulocytes, which show red granules.
