[Histonet] rhodamine auto-fluor. problem

Fri Oct 24 16:59:39 CDT 2003

Hi All!

I trust everyone that went to Louisville had a wonderful time and learned a
lot!!

I have a question for you guys:  A researcher here in OB/GYN is doing
rhodamine-labeled fluorescent work (he didn't say what antibody) on mouse
fallopian tube... he thought he was having a staining problem, but has
determined that his tissue is auto-fluorescing.  The tissue is frozen in OCT
and fixed in acetone/methanol.  What can he do to quench this?

Thanks,
