Re: AW: [Histonet] Bone samples long-term storage in 10% formalin or 4% paraformaldehyde
Thanks to everyone for your comments. I may not have been clear in my question - our researchers don't wish to decalcify these formalin-fixed bones yet, but rather to store them for more than a couple of weeks, in case they need to carry out MicroCT followed by histology later. I'm aware that the formalin or paraformaldehyde will degrade over time, but I just wondered if anyone has a protocol for storage without decalcification? I guess transfer to 70% ethanol is an option but this is also not ideal for longterm storage, and would need to be removed before decal in EDTA.

Re: AW: [Histonet] Bone samples long-term storage in 10% formalin or 4% paraformaldehyde
hi I would recommend storage for long term in 70% ethanol. To prevent drying out we used glycerin in the ethanol, about 20% of the volume.

Re: [Histonet] Bone samples long-term storage in 10% formalin or 4% paraformaldehyde
Dear Orla, Post fixation, we have stored our bone specimens in 1x PBS while having them sent out for MicroCT analysis. We have also stored them in 1x PBS at 4°C post fixation when necessary until further processing without having adverse affects on our staining. However, we chose conventional staining over IHC for our results.

[Histonet] CD4 and CD8 mouse tumor IHC, thanks..
Thank you to those that sent me suggestion on my CD4 problem. I have recently discovered the problem. The tumors are mouse tumors but they are injected in-vivo with a test antibody that is Rat anti-mouse, specifically Isotype (Rat IgG2a). Hence this is why my secondary Rabbit anti-rat stained so much.. Next I will try to block the Rat in-vivo injected antibody with a goat anti-Rat secondary, as a block prior to staining with CD4. Or I could precomplex the CD4 with the Rabbit Anti-Rat and bind excess Anti-Rat with Rat Serum. Any thoughts or suggestion on this as always would be welcomed... Thanks again..

RE: [Histonet] CD4 and CD8 mouse tumor IHC, thanks..
Another solution, and one we did almost exclusively for murine T and B cell IHC was use biotinylated Rat anti mouse CD4 and CD8. The isotype can be purchased biotinylated from BD Bioscience/Invitrogen or you can buy Jacksons Rat IgG-biotin. This totally eliminates a secondary antibody hence anything rat will not be detected. A bonus is staining is much faster too. We routinely did Streptavidin/biotin block from Vector since Streptavidin has an affinity for integrins in epithelial cells.Our normal serum block with biotinylated rat antimouse primaries is 10% goat or donkey serum + 2.5% mouse. The block is also the diluent for the primary antibody and isotype/IgG negative control. Rabbit serum and antibodies were avoided since the bunny is sticky, and can cause more background. My immunologist frowned on anything using a rabbit host unless we couldn't avoid it.

[Histonet] Discontinuing Negative Reagent Controls for IHC
I am putting together a list of facilities that have discontinued the use of negative reagent controls for IHC. After the CAP revised the requirement related to negative controls when polymer-based detection systems are used, we decided to investigate whether discontinuing the negative controls would be possible for our lab. It would be helpful to know what labs have done this successfully. If the labs that have discontinued the use of negatives could just respond in an email, I would appreciate it.
