Dear histonetters, I have pasted two images img001 and img002 dt. 7feb2011 on staining. The images are of mouse kidney 4micron paraffin embedded formalin fixed sections where the hematoxylin stained areas are pale and not uniform. Is it because of over heating or sections getting dried during coverslipping?

Years and years ago in London we used Koelle's method to demonstrate cholinesterase in muscle and mouse diaphragms. The method we followed was in Pearse E, Histochemistry - Theoretical and Applied. Volume 2. Churchill Livingstone. London 1972. Pages 1312 - 1316 has several different methods. The enzyme was visualized with ammonium sulphide. The tissues were mounted in glycerine jelly. If the method worked too well and we could not see the motor end plates, we adjusted the pH to reduce staining. Dr Filipe went on to publish her own method in Filipe I., Lake B., Histochemistry in Pathology. Churchill Livingstone. London 1983 page 322. In her method, she used osmium to visualise the enzyme, instead of ammonium sulphide. Stain technology used to have articles about the method too. I have not heard of Karnovsky or Roots methods, but lot of different methods were published in the early days of enzyme histochemistry.

We tried the KP tape but did not like it; it seemed to have problems sticking on the slides and we had a few other issues but I don't remember what they were. Could it be that there needs to be more xylene applied to slides- it may be air and dry tissue that you're seeing. Hope this helps. Lisa M.

Most of the time this happens on decal slides or hard tissue where the tissue may be lifted a little. Try recoverslipping. Also, if it's not happening on these types of tissue, you may need more xylene dispensed. Sometimes, we just have to resort to the old-fashioned way of coverslipping with mounting media. I've never used the Klinipath tape. I prefer to stick with Sakura's brand - don't want to take any chances!
