[Histonet] Rocky Mt Spotted Fever

2011-09-29 Thread Sheila Fonner
I know that I have requested this information once before but am in need of
it again.  Does anyone know of a company that tests for Rocky Mt Spotted
Fever?  We are having a  hard time finding someone that still carries an
antibody that tests for this.

 

Any and all info greatly appreciated.

[Histonet] Azure B for melanin

2011-09-29 Thread mesruh turkekul
Dear Histology Gurus,

I read some where that one can do Azure B counter staining to stain the
melanin green to distinguish it from DAB in a IHC section that contains
brown melanin. Have anyone tried this? It seems less harmful to the
antigenicity of the tissue than bleaching with hydrogen peroxide or K
permanganate/oxalic acid treatment.


Any comments will be greatly appreciated!

RE: [Histonet] IHC H.P. Negative Control

2011-09-29 Thread Sheila Fonner
CAP guidelines clearly state that you must run a negative control for each 
patient tissue.  However, if you are running a large amount of a particular 
antibody, you may validate your procedure to run only one positive control.  
However, it is just as easy to run a positive control for each patient if you 
put the control on the same slide as the patient tissue.

I don't see any way around the negatives though. We run a negative control on 
each and every block.

Hi Histonetters,

We would like to start to run up to 30 H.Pylori on our Benchmark daily.  Do GI 
labs that run H.P. on ALL stomach biopsies run a negative control for each 
patient tissue for H.P.?  I am just curious, as we have a 24 hour TAT, but the 
Benchmark only holds 30 slides.  What's everyone doing?

Thanks!

Rich,

 

That is definitely true also.  I guess I just assumed that the question was
in regards to 30 separate and individual patients.  My bad if that was not
the case.  Thanks for the clarification.

Sheila,

 

Cap requires a negative with each block of patient tissue  being stained for
immunos, However they also state that if more than one block from the same
patient is being tested that only one of the blocks is required for the run.

 

 

Thanks Rich Y

[Histonet] Background in FFPE glandular tissue sections during IHC

2011-09-29 Thread mesruh turkekul
Dear Histonetters,


When I do IHC on FFPE tissue sections. Most of time there is background due
to trapping of IgG/detection reagents probably in the connective tissue
fibers, mucins or other secretions of the glandular tissue. Especially
prostate and mammary gland. Any tips to get rid of that kind of background?
Do you know any treatment  to block mucins or connective tissue fibers from
 nonspecifically and electrostatically attracting IgGs and detection
reagents?

Have you tried your local or state animal disease lab or the National Animal

these labs may be able to help.  Do you have a large academic or tertiary care 
medical center nearby which has a block reclamation program (collects 
anonymized tissue blocks for research purposes that are being discarded by labs 
after the required holding period).  Sometimes these programs can find blocks 
with unusual or infectious processes as they collect from a broad range of

Subject: [Histonet] KP Markers

I received a call from Mercedes Medical saying they can not get the KP
Markers so many of us like.  Does any one have another source for these
wonderful pens?  Thanks and have a wonderful evening, Kathy Gorham H.T.


Kathy,
I also have been looking for KP markers. I contacted Mercedes Medical and
they told me that these markers are no longer being sold because of the
amount of returns and issues they have had in the past year from their
customers. Apparently, the formula was changed and the company overseas that
makes them have not changed the formula back, so Mercedes Medical is no
longer purchasing them. I believe these markers were the best ones on the
market before the formula change. I'm hoping the foreign company decides to
make them as they used to and scrap this new formula!
