Undecalcified? How are you going to section it? If you can section it, just use any IHC protocol for regular sections. Good luck! René J. --- On Mon, 3/12/12, Jeffery Howery jeffery.how...@jcl.com wrote: From: Jeffery Howery jeffery.how...@jcl.com Subject: [Histonet] Undecalcified bone IHC

Hi Jeff, If is it possible a few more specifics of how the tissue has been received, processed and evaluated would help. Undecalcified bone sectioning procedures vary and also what specific markers are you looking to do is important. Vikki On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 11:06 AM, Rene J Buesa

Jeff, It is most certainly possible to do IHC on undecalcifed bone sections embedded in PMMA although not the easiest task. Sectioning is done on a microtome that is powerful enough to cut the plastic and using tungsten carbide knives. The key is total removal of the plastic from MMA
