Re: [Histonet] bat wing histology

2010-07-06 Thread Amos Brooks
Hi,
 We did this on derm punch biopsies for a while. We used PLP
(paraformaldehyde-lysine periodate) fixative. This was also done on a
sliding microtome at 50um with piles of dry ice to keep the sucrose frozen.
It was a bit of a pain in the butt, but we got decent results. I think the
sectioning process could have been easier, but the PI was obsessed with not
modifying the project at all, even if it meant improvements.
 We stained these as floating sections in 96 well plates, so in this
case I would be concerned that the wing rolls would un-roll if you were to
do the swiss roll thing I described.

Have fun :-)

[Histonet] Has anyone used a biotin block in their antibody diluent?

2010-07-06 Thread Jennifer Campbell
Hi All,
 
 Has anyone ever used a Biotin block in their primary anitbody diluent?  I have 
been having problems with nonspecific staining, which I suspect is due to 
endogenous biotin.  I plan on decreasing my antigen retrieval time, as someone 
has told me that an antigen retrieval that is too vigorous may cause the 
unmasking of biotin, and its subsequent staining. I would like to know if 
anyone has had any luck using a biotin block in their diluent because I may try 
that as well. 
 
Thanks,
 
Jennifer Campbell

Re: [Histonet] Rnase free slides?

2010-07-06 Thread Emily Sours
Honestly, I think RNases are a bunch of hooha.  If you're being
careful anyway because you're doing a PCR, that should be enough.
Wear gloves, be sterile.
When I worked with a Russian post-doc, she said she did RNA in situ
hybridization without gloves and it worked.  Of course, god only knows
what her protocol was, as she had some crazy stories about Russian
labs.

Thank you everyone for replying, much appreciated.

Having also talked to people in my dept, I have a rudimentary protocol
ready. Of course, I will have to tweak it to see what works. I will be using
anti PGP9.5 antibody for neuronal immunology.

I am still not sure how to section the wing. In most likelihood, I will be
using freezing sliding microtome. The "swiss roll" method sound good and I
will definitely try it. I am thinking that since the wing membrane is thin
(~30 um), I will also try to use the whole mount of small pieces.

Any other thoughts and advice would be appreciated.

[Histonet] Rnase free slides?

2010-07-06 Thread Caroline Bass
Hello,

I'm doing RNA work for the first time. My plan is to take a fresh rat brain,
block quickly, freeze by immersing in dry-ice cooled isopentane, storing at
-80, collecting tissue sections (thickness will be determined, somewhere
between 20 and 300 um), and punching the particular regions I need out of
the sections. I will then isolate RNA from the punches for qPCR analysis.

Questions: 

1) does this sound like a viable plan?
2) and suggestions, what to be careful of?
3) where do I have to be careful of Rnase, should I use disposable blades,
cleaned with Rnase away?
4) where can I find Rnase free slides, or should I just make my own. I
usually use charged slides.

Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. I'm new to this and don't know
where I will have problems.

Thanks!

Vanessa, 
I work with a lot of great histology folks and what I know about it is that
eosin bleeding and blue-haze problems usually occur as a consequence of
either not fully removing all of the water during the final absolute alcohol
rinse step, and/or not fully removing all of the alcohol during the clearing
step.  If the water and alcohol are completely removed, bleeding and haze
will not occur. I hope this helps.

Hall's bile stain - not really a stain but a reaction, like the Perls
prussian blue reaction for iron - uses trichloracetic acid and ferric
chloride to oxidize yellow-brown bilirubin to bright green biliverdin.
Or so I've been told - I've never seen one.

Something I've wondered about for a long time: could Hall's reaction
be used to demonstrate meconium in macrophages in the chorion of the
human placenta? These can be hard to see, particularly if you don't
have a very good microscope. - If this would work, it would provide a
ready source for controls, at least for the hospital pathologist.

[Histonet] Re: Turtox Internal Ear, cochlea slides

2010-07-06 Thread Adrienne Aperghis Kavanagh


Hi Michelle,

I worked for a company called WARD'S Natural Science in Rochester, NY; they 
produce/provide science education materials.  I can't say I ever produced the 
internal ear slide myself, but I can recall others in the department working on 
something similar.  I would give them a call at 1-800-962-2660 and ask to speak 
with a tech or supervisor in the microscope slides department.  Even if they 
don't normally carry what you're looking for, I am sure they would be happy to 
try and provide you with what you want.

I hope you find what you're looking for!  Best of luck.

Adrienne

Wow that is going to be a tuff one, back in the day I tried to cut
Petris pyramid from the inter ear and was told it was the
densest/hardest bone in
the body and it sure seemed to be. Even decalcified we had to embed it
in plastic and use permanent tungsten carbide D profile knives to cut
any sections. I am not at the university anymore so can't access those
slides or I would try to help you out.

Regards,
Patsy

Hello! please see below inquiry from a colleague. Thanks! Atoska


Our histology class is looking for replacements for old Turtox (Guinea
Pig) Internal Ear, cochlea slides and was wondering if anyone knew a
company who supplied these slides or tissue blocks? I don't think it has
to be guinea pig but I haven't been able to locate internal ear slides
from any species. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yep that is what I do, I use the plastic containers I get salad or other
stuff in I would throw away, fill it and freeze it, I add some water to
it and put the blocks on the frozen tray and they get cold and hydrated
at the
same time.

we use something like this:
https://www.vwrsp.com/catalog/product/index.cgi?catalog_number=414004-256&in
E=1&highlight=414004-256

we keep several sizes in the freezer, depending on�how many blocks we
need to cut.� The nice thing is that it is cheap and you can hydrate
your blocks
at the same time you are chilling them.
