The Gallego general tissue stain is used in histology and histopathology and stains beautifully connective tissue, in which all nuclei are stained in magenta red, epithelial cytoplasm in red-yellow, connective tissue is stained in brilliant green, muscle in olive green, and keratinized epithelium and blood in grass green. There is also Gallego's method for differential staining of elastic tissue that enables a complete differentiation between elastic and collagenous connective tissue. The elastic tissue is stained in brilliant fuschin red, while collagen is stained in brilliant green. Abelardo Gallego was born in Spain on September 10, 1879. He was appointed as professor of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and in 1921 became full-time professor of Histology and Pathology in Madrid supported by Ramón y Cajal. Gallego conducted extensive research into veterinary pathology. Don Abelardo was a quiet, reserved, but friendly, sensitive, optimistic and persistent person. Weakened by a bout of bronchitis, Gallego died aged 51 on February 3, 1930, and was buried at the Almudena Cemetery, in Madrid. Gallego was one of the most outstanding scientists of Spanish veterinary medicine and some of his achievements are reviewed.
加列戈氏一般组织染色法用于组织学和组织病理学，可精美的染出所有细胞核呈品红色、上皮细胞质呈红黄、结缔组织呈亮绿、肌肉呈橄榄绿、角化上皮和血液呈草绿色的结缔组织。加列戈氏还有一种弹性组织的鉴别染色法，可以完全区分弹性和胶原结缔组织。弹性组织呈鲜艳的品红色，而胶原呈亮绿色。阿贝拉尔多·加列戈于 1879 年 9 月 10 日出生于西班牙。他被任命为西班牙圣地亚哥德孔波斯特拉大学兽医学院的药理学和治疗学教授，并于 1921 年在拉蒙和卡哈尔的支持下成为马德里全职的组织学和病理学教授。加列戈进行了广泛的兽医病理学研究。阿贝拉尔多博士是一个安静、内敛但友好、敏感、乐观和执着的人。他因一次支气管炎发作而身体虚弱，于 1930 年 2 月 3 日去世，享年 51 岁，葬于马德里的阿尔穆德纳公墓。加列戈是西班牙兽医医学最杰出的科学家之一，本文回顾了他的一些成就。
