Carrie Disbrow notes the use of sections of human medullary type thyroid carcinoma as an amyloid control.
This is what I've usually seen used in recent years. Many but not all medullary thyroid carcinomas contain amyloid. I've seen good results with the right material. A couple of questions I've asked on Histonet and never gotten a reply to: Amyoidosis is quite easily produced in mice. Why isn't this tissue available for control use? Has anyone tried Anatech's "Amyloid Red" as a substitute for Congo Red?
