[Histonet] dual fluorescent staining

2011-01-26 Thread Ross Benik
Hello everyone, 

 

I am working on a protocol for a dual fluorescent stain with two mouse
antibodies (one is IgG1 and the other is IgG2a).  We started by
performing the two stains sequentially with a serum free protein
blocking step in between, tagging one antibody with a 488 FITC labeled
secondary and a 568 Cy3 secondary on the other (both goat anti mouse of
course).  With this method we are getting a lot of background staining
so I was wondering if anyone who has experience in this sort of work if
you have a recommendation of a proper blocking solution between the
sequential stains?  I've heard about using Rodent Block Rat from Biocare
Medical or an un-conjugated goat anti mouse IgG secondary immunoglobulin
but I would like to hear from you all as well! :-)

 

Thanks, 

Ross

[Histonet] TGFβ RII

2011-01-26 Thread Margaryan, Naira
Hi histonetters,

I need suggestion and help with the TGFβ RII (D-2): sc-17799 Ab, which should 
show a cytoplasmic staining. My problem is that I am getting a beautiful 
nuclear staining only. How I can fix this problem? What to pay attention on and 
what to change in the usual protocol? My AR is citrate buffer pH6.
This is a monoclonal mouse Ab against human TGFβ RII. This is only Ab that can 
work for me because it recognize only human TGFβ RII and does not cross react 
with mouse.

Thanks in advance,
Naira

back.  I have left the field and always come back to it.  I have done research

Re: [Histonet] glass cleaner

HISTOLOGY

UNIVERSAL WASHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASSWARE


Alternative to Acid Cleaning Glassware

5% Clorox is a very inexpensive and readily available chemical  
treatment solution, which is an alternative to acid cleaning.  All  
glassware used for special stains MUST be cleaned in the following  
manner.  This method MUST be used when using glassware for special  
stains sensitive to metal, such as FE, GMS, Retic, Jones, Dieterle,  
Steiner and Warthin-Starry.
1.Make fresh each morning a 5% Clorox solution containing  
1/2 Tbsp. per 5 gallons. of Liqui-Nox.


2.Soak all glassware in this solution for a minimum of 30  
minutes to remove any stains, and then scrub with brush until all  
residue is removed.


3.For hard to get out stains, soak in a stronger solution  
of Clorox.


4.Rinse with copious amounts of tap water, followed by  
several changes of deionized water.  All traces of Clorox must be  
removed.
5.Place glassware on drying rack or upside down to dry  
thoroughly.


6.Use caution that NO metal instruments touch glassware.   
This will contaminate certain solutions, which must be free of any  
metal, such as Iron and Silver Stains.


7.After glassware is dry, put parafilm or gauze around  
top so no airborne contaminate may enter.

8.Put glassware away.

After that give your glassware a good wash in the dishwasher, then rinse

And wear protective gloves, but as we all do, I actually don't have to

Re: [Histonet] Oil Red O for FS on Muscle

2011-01-26 Thread Grantham, Andrea L - (algranth)
I've done many of these stains and I get my ORO stain from Poly Scientific. 
Actually I use the whole kit and I use Freida's protocol in the second edition. 
That includes fixing in 37% formaldehyde. I filter the ORO just before use and 
usually get nice clean slides. If there is a residue it isn't much and wipes 
off easily. I even re-use the ORO stain once in a while and it still comes out 
great. My slides are often used for quantifying the amount of lipids so I don't 
counterstain most of the time.

We make up our Oil Red O from scratch same day we use it, let it stand 10 
minutes, and then filter with a Millipore Stericup 0.22µm, GP Express Plus 
Membrane, 250ml Receiver Bottle, catalog number: SCGPU02RE under vacuum.  That 
seems to help a bit with the background and we are working with a really clear

2011-01-26 Thread Setlak, Lisa
Hi,
We use Oil Red O - but we don't do it on muscle. Our protocol is we filter the 
whole bottle before we use it and then we apply it to unfixed slides for about 
30 minutes. Rinse in tap water, counterstain with Hematoxylin and coverslip 
with Aquamount. We use it for cytospins and occasionally on various frozen 
tissues. Our stain is from American Mastertech.
Hope this helps,

The Oil Red O is very problematic.  They are mixing before use and  
filtering with 42 Watman paper, but there is a lot of residual  
background on the slides.  Also, they were not fixing the sections  
with 37% formaldehyde, even though the procedure calls for it.  Could  
you share who you get the stain from also.  Your assistance is  
greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have a current protocol for Factor X111a on the Ventana Ultra
that is working for you?  I would appreciate any info or support you could
give.  We are using the AC-1A1 clone from Cell Marque for derms.  Thanks!
