1) Acid alcohol: I use several drops of concentrated HCL in 95% ethanol (1% HCL in 70% alcohol well too). Simply dip your rinsed slides (or sections) into solution a couple of times, rinse and check them... a dip in water with about 10drops of ammonia should follow as well... 2) Saturated picric

Jennifer, In the past, upon occasion when need arose, I'd use directly conjugated primary antibodies.  Mainly biotin or dig or peroxidase but also FITC directly to primary.  Then can look at it fluorescently or come back with an anti-FITC of some kind (several are good). Used these for my
