What markers and specific clones do you need help with specifically? Also mouse testis really needs a PFA fix. Even if you do fresh frozen sections I suggest a short (10 min) fix in PFA rather than acetone. -Original Message- From: Marti Gaudes, Merce mma...@cmrb.eu Date: Wed, 04 Mar

Yes, really with any type of large (and small) sections. The liquid soap will reduce the surface tension of water (more than heat) allowing the sections to expand easily. Try it.. René J. --- On Wed, 3/4/09, Va Paula Sicurello vapat...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Va Paula Sicurello
