[Histonet] Re: TRAP staining on formic acid decalcified bone reference

2015-04-02 Thread Gayle Callis
The reference within a reference from Ray is A Chimeric Form of
Osteoprotegerin Inhibits Hypercalcemia and Bone Resorption Induced by IL-1β,
TNF-α, PTH, PTHrP, and 1,25(OH)2D3 .   Sean Morony et al .  J Bone Mineral
Res V 14, pp 1478-1485.  

 

However, the formic acid decalcification method is not described in detail
and merely says formic acid but whether this is buffered formic acid or
just dilute formic acid in water only is not stated. Ray might elaborate
on what specific formic acid recipe he used as many in research don't always
use buffered formic acid decalcifiying solutions.  

 

I would assume Morony et all used a buffered formic acid with either sodium
formate or sodium citrate and controlled so as to not overexpose TRAP to
acids longer than necessary.   One publication,  i.e.,  Eggert and Germain.
Stable Acid Phosphatase I. Demonstration and Distribution.  Histochem 66, pp
301-317, 1980) discussed in detail the  rapid demineralization in acidic
buffers i.e. buffered formic acid for staining of stable forms of acid
phosphatase.  

 

I have both of these publications on file and will forward privately.   

 

I would err on the side of using a buffered formic acid with either sodium
formate or sodium citrate for doing this and use decalcification endpoint
testing to avoid over exposure to acid i.e. over decalcification.

 

Take care

[Histonet] Another question: C4d and preeclamptic placentas

2015-04-02 Thread Paula Sicurello
Hello Netters, plus Matt and Keith  ;-)

I'm picking the collective brain of the Histonet...

I've found some literature that suggests that up to 50% of preeclamptic
placentas that resulted in a negative outcome have diffuse C4d staining
when using IHC.

Has anyone tried C4d IHC or IF on preeclamptic placentas?

Tomorrow's Fridayso have a nice weekend everyone!

Re: [Histonet] Re: TRAP staining on formic acid decalcified bone reference

2015-04-02 Thread koellingr
Hi all, as usual Gayle was right on.  Use a buffered (more gentle) formic acid; 
not just formic acid per se of any water diluted concentration.  For end point 
testing, critical, we used a radiograph machine instead of chemical endpoints 
which is also fine;we just had access to a lot of equipment.

[Histonet] FW: Paraffin Waste Disposal

2015-04-02 Thread McHugh, Kelsey
Hello All,



I know each state's EPA laws regulate what can be done with the waste paraffin 
generated during embedding and processing, but I was wondering: how do you 
dispose of your paraffin waste?



Ours is thrown away in biohazard bags and incinerated, though by our state law 
(OH), paraffin with fixed tissue can be thrown in the regular trash as long as 
no additives qualify it as a hazardous waste.



We are performing a cost analysis and investigating the more green options 
that exist for paraffin disposal/recycling - I thought a poll of all you histo 
lab experts would be a great starting point.



Thank you for your help!



-Kelsey

Re: [Histonet] RE:Question about Formic acid decal and TRAP stain

Debra, 
it appears most of the histology world disagrees with me but I stand by my 
post.  If TRAP didn't work with formic acid in our hands, a major 
pharmaceutical treatment wouldn't be ready to help women with post-menopausal 
osteoporosis.

In our hands we have never had TRAP success on Formic acid decalcified tissue.

If it's in formalin it can just stay at room temperature.

What is the allowable temperature range for a histology specimen after 
collection in formalin for shipping and storage? 

Any ideas?

Hi Debra, 
My experience differs from Elizabeth and others.  Indeed have made thousands of 
mouse bone preparations with formic acid decaled sections.  Here is an article 
that didn't copy paste so well:

Is in PNAS and while the methods are not here in this article, look in the 
reference section to materials and methods used and see beautiful pictures of 
TRAP from formic acid decaled bones.  I did them for years after that.  
Complete fixation and gentle formic acid (or immunocal) and indeed this can be 
done.

Subject: [Histonet] Question about Formic acid decal and TRAP stain 

Hi Histonetters, 

I have a question to ask if you don't mind.  Can TRAP Histochemical staining be 
performed after decalcifying with formic acid? Any tricks of the trade, etc?  
If anyone has any experience or references that they could point me to, I would 
greatly appreciate it.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Sheila-  I received some information from BioCare last year that they were 
releasing a Bartonella (ASR) antibody.  I just checked their website and I did 
not see it listed but you might want to check with them (www.biocare.net).

Hi, All-I am currently experiencing problems with our warthin-stary silver 
stain. The finished product has silver particulates all over the empty slide 
and deposited on the tissue making the stain very difficult to interpet. Any 
ideas would be very helpful.  thanx
