Re: [Histonet] process formalin-fixed tissues from animals infected with a virus

[Greg Dobbin via Histonet]

Very interesting paper John! Thank you. I wish the authors had also
experimented with higher concentrations of formaldehyde (eg 10% formalin).
Might one infer that 10% would be even more efficient in inactivating viral
infectivity than 2 and 4%? 樂
Cheers
Greg

It is nice to have a reference.

Hi Amy,
Formalin fixed tissue is no longer infectious...unless you are talking
about prions (eg scrapie, BSE, etc). So there should otherwise be no
concerns or additional precautions required.
Cheers,
Greg

[Histonet] process formalin-fixed tissues from animals infected with a virus

[Amy Lee via Histonet]

Hello,
Does anyone know what we should know about process formalin fixed animal
tissue that has been infected with virus? What
certificate/requirement/qualification we should have? We have never done
this before and need to make decision if we should do it or not.

Thank you very much,

Amy
