Re: [Histonet] Armadillos living at AFIP
Armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) are more or less unique in being easily infected with human leprosy; in fact, about 2% of Louisiana 'dillos are naturally infected. Obviously these animals would be quite an infection hazard. What I want to know is - is there any way to obtain armadillo tissue blocks as control material for staining Mycobacterium leprae?

[Histonet] Body Fluid Specimens
Hi,Our current protocol for preparing cytospins from body fluids and cytospins is very limited. We basically add fixative and spin it down. This leaves us with pretty bloody slides and cell blocks at times. In my past experience, we did a lot more to the specimens and I think the blocks and slides looked better. Our hematology department prepares our CSF and brochoalveolar lavage slides for us. Does anyone have a protocol for specimen preparation they could email us? You can send me the protocol at kelly_colpi...@hotmail.com.

[Histonet] Re:Glucose Oxidase peroxidase block that works for eosinophils
Dear Kim I attached the peroxidase block method via personal email which works for either frozen or FFPE sections. You must buy the correct, exact glucose from ICN as Sigma discontinued this. I included the original publication. You can also find this blocking method on the Vector website. This has been discussed on Histonet before but possibly not in the context of the original publication for eosinophils in frozen section in minimally fixed e.g. acetone.If the sections are FFPE, you may have to extend the time or stick to 60 minute incubation in the glucose oxidase/glucose mixture. We nicknamed this GLUOX Peroxidase Block. For frozens, we used 60 minutes incubation but later found a publication using 30 min blocking of endogenous peroxidase (ordinary and not eosinophils) in frozen sections. Timing is something you might play with to shorten the staining time. Theory is slow, continuous production of H2O2 removes/blocks peroxidase and pseudoperoxidases in tissues/cells. I had feedback that it worked on paraffin sections with stubborn endogenous peroxidase.

[Histonet] RE: best controls (Bob Richmond)
For trichrome: appendix is the most universal control I know of. Then maybe a kidney. GMS: store bought controls are nice, but if you live close to the local morgue try them, every so often they get a good case that they can spare some. Hemosiderin: Fetal Liver is good, or as you say dog. Call the vet or vet school and see if they can get you some. Also ask them for some mast cell tissue. Dogs get mast cells and they stain beautifully. Amyloid: the problem is with the storage, just freeze the block after you cut it. One block should last you for years. Also contact the closest amyloidosis clinic and see if they can find a place to supply a block. They would know of positive cases. AFB/Fite: get in touch with Hansen's disease center, they can provide you with a block 'free' of charge. Message: 7 Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2012 22:47:22 -0400 From: Bob Richmond Subject: [Histonet] Re: best controls To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 What controls for trichrome, methenamine silver fungal stain, and hemosiderin? For trichrome, whatever keeps the regulatory agencies happy. Pathologists use it mostly for liver biopsies, so an autopsy liver with early hepatic fibrosis would be ideal. But I don't bother to look at the control. GMS methenamine silver for fungi: I'd want histoplasma growing in human tissue, with numerous yeast forms with a history of bad staining. But you take what you can get. A Candida culture injected into a mouse lung is what I expect to see. Hemosiderin: any tissue with hemosiderin in it. Dog spleen or liver works quite well - unlike people, dogs store a lot of iron. Human hemochromatotic tissue is hard to get, and I'd hope increasingly difficult. Could I add amyloid? The only control I can usually get is human medullary thyroid carcinoma. Amyloidosis is easily induced in experimental animals, and I've asked on Histonet several times - why isn't this tissue available for clinical use? And acid-fast? Once again, I expect mouse lung injected with AFB. The best I've ever seen was rhesus monkey lung, those pestiferous New Delhi monkeys come to autopsy. Leprosy requires a separate AFB control. Once again, why not animal material. Leprosy is easily produced in armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus), and one lepradillo could supply the world for a century.

What I used to do was when I got a thick specimen we would prepare 20-30 slides and run one of those each day for a positive control. We also ran a blank slide as a negative control to insure we didn't have contamination in our reagents. Doing these two things were part of our lab to meet CAP guidelines.

Hi all, Teri wrote about how overwhelming it can be when you get the digest form of the list, as there are layers upon layers of the same messages repeated over and over. Please (I beg you) delete all the messages underneath when you use "reply" in your email application to post to the board. It only takes a few moments and would save all of us time and allow us to find that pearl of wisdom that was formerly buried under 7 copies of the same post-reply chain.
