Hi Rene, I am also interested in your article - could you send me a copy or provide the reference?
Thanks, Andrea Andrea Marion Graduate Student University of Illinois at Chicago Rene J Buesa rjbuesa <@t> yahoo.com Sun Sep 25 10:36:24 CDT 2011 Previous message: [Histonet] Block age/labile epitopes Next message: [Histonet] microwave processing Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Andrea: Under separate cover I am sending an article I wrote on the subject of epitope oxidation including some of theose easier to oxidize. As to when a block is too old to be useless for IHC, that depends on the epitope and the way the blocks have been stored. I have been able to use 25 years old blocks and the only thing you have to do is to go deep into the block to reach an area where the epitopes have not been oxidized yet.

Along those lines I am wondering about labile antigens ... does anyone know how fast epitopes may "disappear" from blocks and what are some good examples of labile epitopes/antigens? As usual any references or papers citations would be helpful. Thank you!
