[Histonet] Immunofluorescence on salt-split skin

[Cory Collins]

I found out today that my lab will be doing IF's on salt-split skin biopsies
in the near future for bullous pemphigoid.  Can anyone that is currently
doing this give me some insight into the sodium chloride concentration, the
temperature,  and the amount of time you leave the skin in the solution?
Also, does the skin sperate on its own or do you have to use forceps to
seperate the dermis from the epidermis?

Thanks,

Cory
