Can anyone out in histoland explain to me why my submitted questions are not making it through to histonet? I submitted a question on the 19th of September, and I still have not seen it appear in the group emails I get daily. I sent the question to the correct address (I checked it to be sure). When I respond to someones question, I can see my responses, I just can't seem to get an original question submitted. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I have been asked to do some staining for ceramide in human lungs. Anyone have recommendations for an antibody that works well on human tissues? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. This is for either frozen tissue or FFPE.
Thanks

Hi Clare:
Unfortunately, I have to do it manually using an Excel spreadsheet that I created. For every case we test (invasive, DCIS, and metastatic), I keep track of the specimen number, block designation, the time the tissue is placed in formalin, ER IHC result, PR IHC result, HER2 IHC result, HER2 FISH (if we do it and "we don't do many"), Oncotype DX result (if performed), and comments such as "repeat on excisional tumor", "S/P neoadjuvant chemotherapy (with or without Herceptin), "biopsy immunoprofile confirmed", etc. It's a lot of work, but I have exceptionally good data going back to 2011. For example, my positive rates for invasive carcinoma (114 cases) during the period from January-March, 2013 are:
ER - 88.6%
PR - 70.2%
HER2 - 15.8%
I just gave talks on this at the ASCP and NSH meetings.

Hey Mary,
I would suggest observing your
stainer to ensure the proper drop zones are being performed and not just
dropping closest to the label. I used Dako for years and loved them but you do
have to make sure it dispenses properly from time to time. They use drop zones
unlike Ventana which uses a vortex type of mixing.
Good luck!
Thanks,

Also make sure that the tissue never dries out on the trimming table before
it even gets to formalin. That can also be a source of edge effect.
