[Histonet] Finding GFP

[Douglas A Gregg]

Hello, 
I just went through this problem with and adenovirus expressing GFP. I
could not find it in PLP fixed paraffin embedded tissue. I had been able
to find a stronger signal by FA with a vesicular stomatitis virus-GFP.
However, I had great result with avidin biotin immunostaining with a MAb
to GFP made by Zymed at 1:75 with Dako antigen retrieval (citrate). I
used Vector red and got very strong red staining. I could see even more
of the weaker staining cells by using an FA scope and Texas red filters.
Good luck. This should make life easier.
