[Histonet] Orienting GI biopsies during embedding

2009-09-24 Thread ssylvest
Everyone,

We are having a heck of a time orienting GI biopsies but esophageal biopsies in 
particular, during embedding. If anyone could share their secret for getting 
these tiny specks of semi-transparent tissue oriented, we would greatly 
appreciate it.

[Histonet] Procedure for anti-human TCR V alpha24

2009-08-24 Thread ssylvest
Hello all,
 
I am working in an Allergy and Immunology research lab and we have been trying 
to work up a flow cytometry antibody for IHC on paraffin. The antibody is mouse 
anti-human TCR V alpha24-Biotin from BeckmanCoulter. Does anyone have a working 
procedure for this antibody? I have tried many dilutions, retrieval methods and 
incubation times but nothing seems to work.
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
