[Histonet] oxytocin receptor IHC fixation and storage
I'm sending this for a researcher here. He's got a lot of tissue in storage that's still 'wet' (still in various fixatives and bagged up). The tissues have been in fixative for over 10 years. He wants to know if he can still hang onto the tissue for future IHC use, or has it been in fixative too long for the antigen in question to be retrieved successfully. (I don't need a protocol for oxytocin receptor IHC as of yet; I just need an answer to his storage question - because he's moving his materials from one lab space to another.) I've never done oxytocin receptor IHC, so I don't know how difficult it is to retrieve it on the best of days. Is there anyone out there who might know the answer to this question? Thanks in advance.

Re: [Histonet] Toulidine blue stain
I have always liked a very simple method from an older edition of Humanson's book. 1. Bring paraffin sections to water. 2. Stain in 0.1% Toluidine Blue in distilled water, 2-5 minutes 3. Rinse thoroughly in distilled water. 4. Dehydrate in 2 changes of acetone, 5 minutes each. Dehydrating in alcohol will wash all of the stain out. 5. Clear in xylene as usual. Use fresh xylene, not solutions containing carry-over alcohol from other procedures. The second advantage of acetone dehydration is that metachromasia of cartilage, mast cells of some species, etc. is preserved.

I've looked in different text books and online and can't seem to find anything helpful. Does anyone have a good protocol for this?

[Histonet] RE: Question about DAB waste
We keep our DAB waste in a plastic container and give it to our waste disposal company every 6 months. No one has objected to this procedure. Allen A. Smith, Ph.D. Professor of Anatomy Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine Miami Shores, FL -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Jennifer Campbell Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 8:52 AM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] Question about DAB waste We just purchased a Dako Autostainer and are in the process of figuring out how to get rid of the haz waste that we will be generating. The machine separates the haz from non-haz, thankfully. I've been communicating with our waste facility and have been having some difficulty. They want to know a lot of specifics like, how much waste we will be brining to them at a time and how often, what sort of containers we will be bringing it in etc. Do you let the haz waste carboy get to a certain level before emptying it? Is it ok to pour this waste into plastic containers of some sort (we were going to use empty distilled water bottles) to transport them to the facility? I would appreciate any insight. Thank you.
